You Have a Cab?

[bdhsfz6]

I have an articulating offset ditch & bank flail mower that can be used vertically. When I use it to trim brush and branches along my private road, I would get pelted with flying debris on my open station tractor. I would have to "suit up" with gloves, goggles and a hard hat. A cab solves that problem.

Not really..the rocks could shatter the glass?

That would depend on how many rocks are laying up there on those branches.

No cab for me as I primarily use mine in the woods and would not want a cab for that. I have used my brother-in-laws cabbed tractor and much prefer my open station to be more in tune with what I am doing.

Yeah. No way would I want to deal with a cab on my place.

That sounds like a very expensive glass replacement just waiting to happen.

For me, it's multiple reasons. I don't want to knock out expensive windows. I get on/off my tractor so often hooking up logs, checking if there are obstructions in my path, etc. that no way do I want to fight with a door to get in/out of constantly. I like to be able to easily hear what's going on around my tractor with no muffling of a cab, and I actually enjoy being outside whether it's warm or cold. Maybe when I'm 80, I will want a cab. Who knows...

What JeepHead said.

There is also the additional weight and cost of something which is essentially a comfort item.

I'll wear a hat instead.

Not really. The debris is mostly wood chips and small lightweight pieces of vegetation.
