New Tractor---Cab or no Cab

No cab.

Cabs are good on dedicated hay tractors or field tractors. If you're a one tractor guy who will be using it to move trees around, clean fence rows, and do everything with it, skip on the cab.

No big dirt work unless I screw up. Just moving hay, planting grass, and bush hogging.

A good size limb will play hell on a cab window.

Being in a cab makes me feel like I'm in a Pope Mobile.
The Cab does offer a radio which would be nice.

Keeping its value is a good idea.

Roll Over Protection System

Buy a cab tractor and don't look back, I did and have no regrets at all. I had a perfectly fine Kubota l3130 4wd hst with a fel and upgraded to a cabbed Kubota.
I was tired of sweating my nuts off and the dust sticking to me in the summer doing dirt work, banana spiders getting on me working on the hunting property and most of all the phuking mosquitoes tearing my fat arse up while bush hogging.
If you go with the cab I would suggest getting the windows tinted it helps the a/c be a little more efficient.
Either way you roll!

I would certainly get a cab if you can swing it...particularly for the kind of work you will be doing around a cattle operation. You will tear the shite out of a cab if you bring the tractor into the woods to do shooting lane or food plot work any, though.

you need to run up to Scruggs in Tupelo, as they have the best inventory of tractors on hand in that size range of any place I have ever seen...probably have 50 or 60 in all configurations that you can look at.

They're awesome. When the a/c works. That shite quits working and you have a sweat box. I've clipped and cut hay on just about everything and a tractor with a cab with all windows open is almost the worst. All the dust and heat from the rear end funnels right through there
