One Happy Camper

[workhorse]

I got a new XUV and I took it out to play for the first time today out in the snow. MAN! What a blast! It's a gasser and it's new, so I didn't really do anything to test its limits. The tires did have to work to get through the snow (4-6 inches of old sugary snow so it's like they had to dig channels through it.) Not much for Deere options, just the floor mats, bedliner, brush guard loops, and the hyd. dump. The dump will come in handy this spring when it's time to pick rocks out of the fields.

The big accessory I added is a Prosum fully enclosed cab. Good thing I did too because this morning started out below zero and didn't improve very much. I don't have a heater in it yet, but it sure was nice to be out of the wind.

It's sealed up pretty well and soundly built so it's not rattling all over the place. The other thing I like is the glass windshield and glass windows all around. I've heard some people complain about their poly shields scratching too easily.

I like that cab better than Deeres' because the glass does not go all the way to bottom of the doors. Looks like an excellent fit as well.

you can say that again thats a good lookin cab .it's the ones they had on them at the demo place .very nice looks alot lighter too.

Nice looking ride Workhorse, I hope you enjoy it.

The cab was a hair under $2400. It is modular so you can pick and choose what components you want. The only options I didn't get were the wiper kit and interior light. I may change my mind on that later, I figured they would be easy additions.

I also like that the work lights are under the roof so when I go tearing through the woods, I'll come out knowing the lights weren't clipped off by a low limb.

Hi Workhorse,

I'm glad to see a reasonably-priced alternative cab. Did you install it yourself, or have a dealer do it?

Thanks,
Matthew

That cab looks much better than the JD option.

yea the john deere one looks boxie.the other one has a nicer front end.

I'd never seen a picture of the Deere one before. I think I made the right choice because I think mine looks cooler , and I see the Deere doors are hinged at the back. When I'm out picking rocks, it's nice to pull up to one, take one or two steps out and throw the rock in the bed. A door hinged at the back will get in the way, I'd have to walk around it to get to the bed. That goes for any other task, the "money maker" of the Gator is the bed.

I installed this one myself, it wasn't too bad. It took about 4 hours altogether with only two holes to drill. My dealer could install it, but it's winter so I had the time.

Excellent observation. I didn't notice that until I zoomed it on the pic.
Yours looks the best and most user friendly of the 2.

I am debating the door hinge. I kinda like the front opening for opening gates, etc. Why don't they make it so you can go front or rear - like a frig door goes left or right?

i got one of them to i put a screw to hold the holder hown in the cup holder so it don't fall over. the only problem with it is putting the hpx in low gear the handle is really close to the heater and could possibly melt but other than that it works great.
