Universal cab

[cafoose 3,354]

I was at Lowes the other day and saw this and was wondering if it is worth adapting to a tractor to keep most of the snow and wind off the operator as a cheap and easy to install and remove and wouldn't take much space to store alternative to a full size cab?

I think you would be disappointed with it.   A tractor throws much more snow than a walk behind and I think that quite a bit would swirl back around.  Of course it may better than nothing.

 

I partially disassemble my cab and put all the parts in the hard roof.  It hangs from the ceiling and takes up no floor space.

Agree, 100 percent.

I just installed it today, so no disassembled pictures available.  I put the top frame back in the plastic roof and hang that upside down with 4 chains.  The frame is broke down into 4 pieces.  Everything is then placed in the hanging roof separated with pieces of cardboard.  The whole operation is no worse than the miserable rubber tire chains.

I would go with a craftsman cab like the the one on the 520 Razkid got from his relatives then in the summer it would be a sunshade just my ,Jeff

You can do this with a half cab on a walk-behind. At least the snow doesn't blow in your face.

 

 

Or this with a full cab on a tractor:

You beat me to it Jeff!  Cafoose, you will definitely want a four sided cab on your tractor when the wind starts blowing the snow back at you. I put a golf cart top from Northern Tool on my Kubota and that was only about $90. It may be to big for your tractor though. You could check there to see what sizes they have. See my post of it in Anyone Own A Kubota BX2200 4x4 Tractor?

Now a WHEEL HORSE with a cab like this would be the cat's meow...
