So, as I've said before; I tend to argue both sides of an argument. About 12-15 years ago, I was actively going to auctions, looking for a used tracked skid steer. At the time I was doing some weekend side work, doing driveways, minor grading/minor clearing, but renting machinery for the jobs, and not really making much true profit.
Anyways, at the start of the search, I wanted Nothing to do with glass cab on a machine, as I frankly prefer to not have it on construction equipment. Anyway, had someone tell me; for the few thousand dollars more for the cab; if you decide to not rain out even 3 or 4 days over the Life of the machine because of the cab, it's paid for itself. The world ended in 2007/2008, and I ended up not buying the skid steer; but I do keep that in mind.
I still prefer the situational awareness of an open machine, the easier communication (if you work around others), the better visibility, and the faster/easier dismount/remount, But cabs 100% have a place, and are the right answer for some people/situations.
