XR3037HC Couple questions

[George2615]

Unless you remove the SMV triangle there's not enough room for a box to go all the way across. Maybe your triangle is elsewhere since you are getting it with a backhoe. Can't answer if it will interfere. Maybe Whispering Oaks who has the BH can reply to that.
The rear 1/4 windows do open slightly for air if you don't want to run the heat or A/C. The rear window does tilt out from the bottom but as far as I know that's for an emergency escape hatch. I don't know if you should operate the tractor with it open. I'd like to remove the doors for summer use but with A/C I think I'll get used to leaving them on.
Myself and at least one other member have built our own brackets for light bars.
I've attached some pics of the light bar brackets F&R, 1/4 windows that open, and my Camaro (mentioned in your previous post). Where are the 20 year old girls? At my age I'd settle for 40 year olds.

A couple of sweet machines, George!

I have a couple classics too, 72 Chevelle Conv. and a 79 T-Top Corvette. What the heck, you can't take it with you when you die.

the triangle bracket is on the tractor as well as another on the backhoe. you just switch it from one to the other. I do open the rear glass as it has a hydraulic shock to keep it partially open. I saw that the P7010 series has an added bracket for the doors to clip them partially open, I saw them on youtube somewhere but can't find them again. I want to try and add them, they would make airflow nice without the A/C. The triangle bracket is a bolt on unit so you could just remove it and relocate it easily.

Nice car.

The light bar I'm looking for had the lights mounted behind an upper and lower round bars, almost like an off road front bumper . Then he welded a bar from the top corners of the top of cab mounted light bar to a fabricated brush guard to deflect branches away from the tractor.

I wish I could explain it better, then maybe I can come up with some search terms that will let me find it again.

Oh, and what I'm calling a bar is really pipe of some kind welded and fabricated.

Found one that shows the theory.

Edit, that is the exact one I was referencing. Now the hard part will be to not over think it and wind up with an exoskeleton like the rock crawlers have. I suppose 1/2 black gas pipe would be strong but EMT would be a lot lighter.

It does make driving with the doors open quite nice. I went out and took a couple of pictures this morning.

Here's screen shots from the parts catalog if you wanted to order some of the pieces.

Brdtrk: you'll enjoy the 3037, sadly I bought mine and it quit snowing!! I was able to push some 2 1/2 foot drifts last week with it with wind howling about 40 mph, it was heavy spring snow, had to take hat, coat and gloves off and turn the heat way down, it was too hot in there! Make sure that you get the rear wiper, it's worth it. Great tractor, worth the $$, the dealer I bought from is great as is the LS rep, I may get another one for the other farm, that one will be the XR4046, only cause I want a little bigger frame and HP, I think the 37 has more umph than the XR4040 and I had it first and swapped the dealer for the smaller one so that it would fit under the barn doorway, at my elevation, 6300 ft, the turbo really helps.
