Anyone know a business that makes a custom cab? All the ones I have seen online are to tall. I need a shorter cab so I can drive it in the garage. Please provide a link if you know of a business. My old arse is getting tired of freezing while plowing.. thanks

I bought a soft cab from Original Tractor Cab, sits just below my ROPS and clears my standard height garage doors even with my light bar on top of the front. Works very well keeping the wind off my old bones. Very happy with it overall.

Been looking at this one to see if I could modify it if I can't get into the garage. Your garage is standard 6 feet?

You need to bite the bullet and tell the wife you HAVE to build a new taller garage
Been considering a small building but the other half would rather move than add to this property. Those portable frame and canvas ones been on my radar too.

Mine is 7' minus an inch for weather stripping - I don't think 6' is standard for a regular two car garage.
I have turf tires (with chains), other tires may be an inch or two taller.

Got a picture of your custom made one?
Mine isn't near as fancy as the one Ping built for his tractor, but I made mine to be easily removeable for the non winter duties. Form follows function and was easy on my budget!! Still going strong and will be going back on the tractor in the next couple of weeks.

Here's the Link to the build,
