Here is my baby 2014 CK30 4x4 with Kioti 66 inch dual stage blower/hydraulic shute. Pictured with new soft cab by "Cover my tractor". <img src="http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/files/snow-removal/401359-pictures-your-snow-weapons-tractor-cab-blower-005-jpg"/> <img src="http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/files/snow-removal/401360-pictures-your-snow-weapons-tractor-cab-blower-002-jpg"/> <img src="http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/files/snow-removal/401361-pictures-your-snow-weapons-tractor-cab-blower-001-jpg"/>

I would love a review of the soft cab. How was install, and maybe a follow up after a month or two of use?

I like that, a clean older machine.

Thank you very much for the kind words about my Gravely.

So far I love it. I was pretty straight forward for install. Took 2 guys about an hour. You had to install the solid one piece canopy unto the roll bar. Then the Soft cover on top of it, the sides are zippered to the top edge of the canopy. Once all the sides are hanging free there are some metal wide clips that you bend to go under the fenders and some bungie cords to tighten the back to the frame. No need to take cover off when transporting as it will withstand winds of up to 80 mph. It was installed I believe in Aug 2014 and used it with the loader till I put the blower on 3 weeks ago. No follow up, as the cab was left for about 3 days in the heat with the sides hanging to expand before the final adjustments. I am very happy with it. The only downfall is the doors are zippered. The drivers side has Velcro so you don't have to unzip it every time you want to go in. Once inside the side doors will fold up to a piece of Velcro to hold it up and then the whole door slides to behind the side panel or you can take the side doors right they are on a track. The back panel has a zipper so you can open it up for ventilation. The windshield is a thicker plastic than the sides and has a electric windshield wiper. I also found it very loud inside when all the doors are closed so I wear construction type head phones. Sure beats siting in the cold and having snow blow all over you. This will be my first winter using this cab so not sure how it will be in the cold. Will it fog up? will I need a heater or a fan? these are question that I will be able to answer later on.
For the price of 1800 installed + taxes in Canada=2100 and worth it compared to a factory cab which is from 4-8,000 dollars. My Kioti dealer ( Bromley Farm Supplies, Douglas ,Ontario) ordered the cab from Cover My Tractor, Click Here. If interested call your dealer. Hope this helps.
If you go under Kioti, ck30 purchase page 3 post # 24 you will see bigger pics of the cab.

My Satoh Beaver with a SSQA I built for it, and my grapple bucket on it.

Agreed, I also find that a good quality transfer shovel works better than those cheap plastic snow shovels.

I have this one from Lowes that is all alumnium so it is light weight and strong. It is my current fav:

Looks very expensive, although fun . Probably be cheaper to buy another tractor.

I'll be using the 80-314 w/cab & 49 blower:

And the newly acquired 1953-40S w/ "Ford" blade: The blade will be painted green when weather permits!
