Anyone have experience with "Heater Cabs"

[85Hokie]

Hey Frank that " cockshutt " is that like an old Ford 8N?

Skeets,

the 8n lasted until '52 these guys line was around from '57 -'62

here is a picture of the ol iron:

Skeets, its a 40 hp 6 cyl monster. 1952 model 40.
14.9x38" rear wheels. Its a long cumbersome beast.
Considerably larger than an 8N.

I bit the bullet and got the curtis cab, along with the HD blower. At first I laughed when i heard the price. They were out of their mind.......

But after a while, and getting to see one in person, it really is a good quality custom fit cab. The glass, the doors, heater, wiper all very fit and polished. and it should be for $4k!

Could I have built one for 1500 or 2k (some of that curved glass is expensive) sure. But my time is money too. I can just as easily go put a heater in for a customer or an A/C unit and make that money doing what I know and let the cab manufacturer do what they do.

Like I said it's a luxury but well worth it! I had my first cab on my old ford lgt145 while blowing snow (no heater) and it was a godsend many a night when it was 5 degrees out, wind blowing and snow still coming down.

Any cab - one you build a cheaper one you buy or an expensive one is really a great luxury if your out in the snow or freezing weather with your tractor!

Try clearing snow in a snowmobile suit and helmet. Throw in a pair of damp boots and im in heaven! Must be, because the other place is supposed to be really hot. And no snow.

I'm with you.. Minus the helmet.
