simple Cab for L 5040 for 300 €

[Treckerzeug]

Hi,

i wanted to share a way to get a simple shelter for a Kubota tractor for less money then usually. This has been done by using used parts and simple easy to get plastic covers.
I got a plastic / glass fibre roof off a B series Kubota with a windscreen and a frame for 50 €, the rest of the cab i've built using 20x20, 25x25 mm square tube, 3 mm plexiglas panes and flexible 2 mm PVC transparent plastic cover.
The doors swing open forward and can stay open as they stay parallel to the wheels, but let the photos speak for themselves.
Total cost 300 €

Intersting hinge design. I also like the reuse of other parts, thumbs up from me!

I like to reuse/re purpose things also. It saves money and I like the challenge.

Great job. I don't figure you added heat???

Hello,

No i have no heating yet, might go for a small electric heater/blower device, to keep the front pane clear.
The hinges are partially from room doors, they swing outward as the front window is narrower then the original low window panes which came with the tractor
