Original Tractor Cab company makes a quality product. Most are less than $1000. This will be the 5th winter on mine and it has no issues. Can't post pictures now but they have many on their website. Recommend upgrade to the glass windshield.

I bought one 3 years ago from Cover My Tractor and love it. Very sturdy and keeps the snow off of you. Look at my avatar and you will see it. It cost me about 1800 Canadian through my Kioti dealer installed. I would of love a real cab with heater etc but this is ok just have to open up the sides so it does not fog up.

Here are a couple of pictures of my OTC cab. I added the mirrors and LED floods, they are not from OTC.

Do you have any problems with the cab fogging up on you on some days?

I was concerned about this but it hasn't been a problem. When I'm blowing snow I have to be careful to keep my face a little away from the back window or it will fog, but otherwise it seems to be ok. I have no heat and it does pick up some engine/drivetrain heat but I think there may be enough air movement to limit the fogging.

My blower is front mounted so I basically have to worry about the windshield fogging up. It did once or twice but then I just open the side/back door a bit and that fixed it. Like anything else you have to experience the flaws to fix em.

If you put a cab on any tractor without a defroster, you will think you are driving an old air cooled VW. The defroster on an old VW was an ice scraper and a rag.
