Soft cab

sawash · Feb 4, 2015

I've been considering a soft sided cab for my NHtc30. Was wondering if anyone has any experience with them. Seems to be 2 different makes out there. One has a regular windshield wich I think would be a better choice. Not sure about visibility with the front loader.i would appreciate anybodys thoughts.

I have a soft sided cab from Bercomac, It keeps the wind and snow off you works well.
Here is a link to their site:BERCO Accessories for garden tractors and lawn, snowblower for ATV and UTV

I, too, have a soft cab. It makes a world of difference. Visability is not hampered and it doesn't affect the loader. I had the option of a soft windshield or hard--wish I had taken the hard. Only problem I had was the windshield would frost up in really cold weather--below zero. A small clamp on fan resolved that.(I don't have heat) I take the doors off in the summer--a two minute job.

I have the "Original Tractor Cab" and find it to be a quality product. It comes standard with a hard top and a soft vinyl windshield, but they offer an upgrade which has a glass windshield in a plastic (ABS?) frame panel. I have the upgraded windshield and it's pretty good. They also offer a windshield wiper package which I did not get and haven't really needed.

Do you have a rear snowblower? I'm thinking about going with one of their cabs but I'm wondering if there is a visibility issue out the rear window since it doesn't have a wiper. Any issues?

I modified a walk-behind soft cab on my Pasquali 993, cost about $50 bucks. It's held in place with a few SS hose clamps. Keeps the snow off 90% of my body, especially when using my 60" snowblower.

Yes, I have a 3 point snowblower. Under some conditions, snow blows onto the rear window and causes a problem. However, I just tap it and, because it's flexible, the snow falls off. Fogging has been minor, so I have been happy with it.

Also, in response to the original post, the OTC has lower windows on each side of the hood in addition to the windshield. For loader work, I don't seen any difference between the cab on and off. (I take mine off for the summer.)
