On the hunt for some kind of cab that I won’t have to donate a kidney for it. Husqvarna cab was suggested last year for around $700. Not sure if a hard top would be needed. But would want one that’s not as high as my ROPS so I can get into the garage. Appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

We fabricated a cheap cab for my neighbor's older BX with some light framework and enclosed with some "double polished" clear window vinyl. Awesome visibility and it keeps the snow and wind off the operator.

A reasonably priced ready to go "Cheap" enclosure could be had by using a golf cart rain cover/enclosure. You'd have to fab up some framework for it to drape over. Or buy a used "take off" golf cart roof that would double as a sunshade in the summertime.

Unless you can find a golf cart rain fly/cover in a size that would work for you.....by the time you finished altering one, you might be better off making one from scratch.

There's still a few months until the next snowfall.....hopefully!! Let me know if I can help you with some ideas.

From my google fu searches, around $1300 for some that have a hard top and doors. Then some real nice ones are $2500 and up. Figured it would be cheaper now instead of waiting until winter time and the mark ups go higher. Thanks for you reply.

Have looked at that. Did you have to drill anything to mount it?
no drilling was involved it was a pretty simple install, if you go on their website, you can view the installation manual

Will check it out. Will need to trim the height so I can get it in the garage.

My approach was to get the tractor and then build a shed with a door high enough for it:)
Can you get in that shed with ROPS up? Am considering that along, also looking at a 20 foot container.
