With some cool attachments and a nice factory cab. Looks like it's from New Zealand.

The video is from Czech Republic because of the CZ domain in their web address.

Europeans generally get cab options for rigs that the North American market only gets open station models. I would have ordered a cab for my 4200 if it was available here; but it wasn't, except in Europe.

I don't know if its a European safety law requiring manufacturers to offer cabs, or due to their climate, or customer demand, or a combination of these things.

That ditch mower and MMM with hydro dump bagger deal was pretty cool.

Yep, the Europeans do have some interesting equipment we don't have here. I wonder if they think the same for our stuff they don't have access too.

I can't provide any personal experience or solid information, but will just state what I remember reading years ago. I would be glad to hear real info from our European friends that sometimes appear on here.

It is not unusual in Europe for farmers to live in town away from the farm, and commute with their tractors to the fields. This is why it is common for them to have a three point hitch also on the front of the tractor for carrying additional implements with them. They all have additional equipment for road safety and comfort. The European version of my 755 has additional headlights, turn signals, trailer connector, horn, more adjustable seat, and an optional cab. None of that was available in North America.

Again, curious to hear real info from those truly in the know.

My 4200's European spec versions also offered a front mounted PTO.

It looked like that cab didn't have heat or AC though, at least I didn't see any vents. Looked kinda like an all season cab to me.

That boom flail mower was pretty neat, I wouldn't mind having one of those for my little tractors.

They sure have some neat options on their tractors, now Deere needs to bring those options to the U.S. :thumbsup:

I like the flail mower on a boom, very handy. Similar available in America: Boom Mower TA 26 | Ferri America

Actually, if you look at page 14 of this brochure from the UK, it states there is powered ventilation and heat. No AC though. Also see a front 3 pt hitch on a 2520 later in the brochure.

That was cool! I want one!

 

[Redneck in training]

I am originally from Czech republic. Cabs are required by state regulations on all tractors as safety feature. The cab has to be certified to withstand roll over of the tractor. Due to colder climate AC was not common in tractors until very recently.
It is a rule that farmer lives in the village or town and travels to the fields. Therefore most tractors have so called highway gear allowing for faster speed about 24 mph. Models with highway gear have four wheel brakes.
Most models have air compressor and pneumatic brake controller for the wagon.

Redneck - Thanks for confirming that information. Real first person input like yours is appreciated.

 

[mjncad]

There is a guy from France (Sousephil or some such username) that has a newer model open station Deere CUT. So I think cabs being required might be a country to country choice in Europe. All I know is I wish the European cab was offered as an option in the states because I would have bought one.

 

[JD Greg]

The cab to offered in the US would be great.
I just purchased a 2520 and put a Curtis cab/heat/radio in it.
