Gdemos,
Thanks for the kind words and your questions.
1. Snow Blower,I have seen the mods on the snow shoot, so if electric , drill and seal, run wires through lower cab wall with quick disconnects to blower so you could take back wall off when needed, and to your control console or dashboard switch and go for it. Use good installation techniques to make it look factory and not to offer problems for you down the road. There are area's on the back of cab, not on the removable wall that you can pass through on either side of the back window to do this with no issues. Use good grommets so not to cut wires or hoses.
2. Heat loss, is no problem, I just went way over board because I wanted something to do at night instead of watching t.v. , so I am out of control on this because as the cab goes, it holds heat and is just fine the way it is. You don't need to do what I am doing.
"WildFire" just gave me too much inspiration to have fun and make changes to make it reflect my personality, because I am an artist at what I do.
3.Noise, with or without a cab, always where ear protection, on prolong usage on the tractor, that is just the way it is. Adding sound deadening material may help,and is easy because you get the cut and sticky back stuff, no problem to install. The picture, with the dressed up cab is even easier, just get material , cut, use "3M spray on adhesive". I use to customize vans all the time that way. The cab comes with rubber seals on bottom to seal the cab, but you will have to do more if you want to cut down on vibration noise. Add foam rubber seal all the way around bottom before installation of cab. Curtis Cab makes nothing for the cab to help you in this effort. I going to keep trying different things till it makes since to just stop and enjoy the tractor the way it is.
I will download a noise db app. and take some readings for you so we can have some stat. readings and observe to see if changes are worth it.
I purchased the cab, so I could use the tractor all year round in comfort, in any kind of weather without dressing up in heavy snow suit or getting wet in the spring or having the sun beat down on my head.
But it's just plain cool factor for me and I like working with my hands and brains
These are MY REASONS, and it works for ME. Your reasons will be different on what and how far you will go on this tractor, but if I can be of any help I will do all I can for you.
My zero turn mower, from TSC, is called a"Bad Boy Mowers" 60in. cut, look it up , 5yrs old and cuts 5 acres of our back yard no problem. This is my wifes tractor.
I hope I answered your questions, if not I can get more pictures if you like.
