All-Season Cab For Utility Tractors
Tractor manufacturers aren't making them but a California firm has just come out with a cab for utility tractors that measures up to the standards of big luxury cabs.
The enamel-coated steel cab was designed primarily as air-tight protection when spraying orchards. However, the air-tight characteristics that protect an operator from chemical fumes also help keep the cab warm in winter and cool in summer, with the aid of a heating and cooling unit.
"The cab is designed to mount on tractor fenders which we also manufacture to protect fruit trees from tire damage. We're now designing a mounting bracket, however, that will mount the cab on any tractor, regardless of whether it has our fenders," says Bob Nelson of Nelson Manufacturing in Yuba City, Cal., the manufacturer.
The cab features an electric windshield wiper, sliding windows, and an optional air purifier, air conditioner and heating unit. Cabs fit most utility tractors, ranging from the Ford and John Deere to the Yanmar and Kubota.
Nelson cabs sell for $2,100, plus $615 for fenders.
