Wayne0 444 #1 Posted April 20, 2023 I've got a 48" deck off a 520 on CL and someone wants to trade for a full cab and snow blade. My 520 is a dedicated snow machine with a 2 stage blower. I figure i can sell the blade, and keep the cab.. Good deal? I think so, but would like opinions Thanks.. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,814 #2 Posted April 20, 2023 Value is what you see it worth. The deck may have no value for use, but the cab may be worth gold. To me, I have little use for a deck and wouldn’t pay most asking prices for one… but see them sell for quite a bit, quite often. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wayne0 444 #3 Posted April 20, 2023 (edited) I guess the cab is worth it to me as it's a bi*ch to blow snow in the wind! I am an old f*ck and hate the cold now! Edited April 20, 2023 by Wayne0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c-series don 8,677 #4 Posted April 21, 2023 I’d get the cab, once you blow snow with a cab and get out warm and dry you’ll want to get back in and do some more! I do my neighbors driveways and they only live here in the summer! The two stage is one of my favorite implements. Oh and let’s not forget the cab!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 41,041 #6 Posted April 21, 2023 I've had 2 cabs and have gotten rid of both of them. I can't see worth a hill of beans when the sun is out reflecting off of the snow with them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He wants to take them off but Ins. won't pay unless they are a certain size or so I'm told Edited April 21, 2023 by squonk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BTW, I got the generic $1500 lens paid by ins. and they worked great. The custom lens was $3000 with me paying the extra $1500. This is per eye and I do have two eyes.
