Hi:

I finally got to install the Original Cab Softcab on my 2305. I was embarassed that I got it last year but never had time to put it on. :) :) For the price it seems pretty nice. I put on the
mirror, additional front lights and the warning light. Not sure yet if I'll get the safety glass
windshield. It sure is much nicer than getting snow in the face.

Anyway, my question. Has anyone installed one of these and modified the back to allow use of a backhoe? I don't need to know would would like to leave the cab on (minus the doors) when the winter is over. I'll probably just slit both sides and put velcro but I didn't know if anyone had a slick setup and already did it.

Thanks for any and all responses.

I have Original Cab ,2305 and BH ,I had the BH on the other day a light drizzle was falling so I unsnapped the sides and just slipped the cover up over the ROPS . With cover up like this it did get a little of the drizzle of me and a little of the wind. When I was finished for the day just dropped the back down till next day and repeated the process.

Velcro could work just wondering where you would cut the back of the cab .
What ever you decide show some pictures.
Good luck with what ever you decide.

Have fun and be safe !!

I could try that. The snaps on mine I think go around the upright brace, but I think
that would work.

If I did cut it I was just thinking I'd cut it outside of the window and then put velcro
or something. If I was real ambitious a sewn on zipper would be slick.

I won't be doing this until the spring, but I'm just looking for ideas.

Thanks,
