You Have a Cab?

They do make sense for full time farmers or maybe for folks stuck living down south below the Mason Dixon line. Whenever I see one on a CUT up in the northern US, all I can think of is “a fool and his money are soon parted”.

And for those that seem to prefer to SUFFER here's a pair of open stations

Agree, it makes perfect sense for some people. I just get tired of listening to the ones who THINK everyone would rather have a cab tractor if they just knew what they were missing.

Because as they age more and more of them will.

I love all the folks denying the idea of a cab. I can remember back in the 60's agreeing with my father that a factory cab was a waste of money, we could just throw the heat houser on for the winter and use an umbrella in the hottest summer days.
Then about 6 years later I drove my first cab with AC tractor cultivating corn, I haven't looked back since. I have bought open station tractors since then because of the $$$$$$, but now I sit here with 3 cabbed tractors and one open station. The main use for the open station is the pto generator and backup for the others.

I agree, if I was making money driving around in circles for hours in the hot sun, eating dust, then I want a cab too! I have done a bit of that, playing with some hay equipment, but its been only a few dozen hours over the years, and when I'm learning the equipment and the fields its good to have all the visibility and hearing available. Most of my use in only an hour or two at a time, and seems never in the rain, so I'm good with an open station, and if I ever upgrade before I'm in my 70's, it will be for more hp and weight, and not a cab.

Y'all with your cabless tractors wait untill you get into your
80's and when your summer temps are in the upper 90's
or low 100's and you have nothing but blowing heat & dust

I was told the same thing when I was in my 40's. I'm now 77 and it turned out to be true.

Tractors can last many years, so think about the future when you pass on a cab.

Just swing those mirror around and look through the windshield at them. Try it.. If you don't like it, you can always put them back.

I moved my mirrors in before mowing yesterday, but hate how little I can see through them. The post for the cab means they have to be inside the post, but then the loader is right next to it. There is just one spot where it works, but the field of view is so limited that I couldn't see what the batwing was doing behind me.

I'm going to try outside the post next time, but as far forward as I can put them. Having them out wide gives me the best view, but that's also where the branches are.
