DON'T MAKE THE WRONG CHOICE! CAB OR OPEN STATION TRACTOR?

  • Do you want a cab tractor or an open station tractor? As if figuring out the right model of tractor isn't hard enough, you also have to decide how you want it outfitted. Some accessories, attachments, and add-ons can easily be purchased and integrated afterwards. However, a factory cab is a decision that needs to be made at the time of the tractor purchase. The reason being is that factory cabs are designed and assembled along with the tractor.
    Don't confuse a true factory cab with an aftermarket version. There is a night and day difference. While you can add air conditioning to a certain model of Curtis cab on the Kubota's, it still isn't the same as a real factory cab. Form, fit, and function are far superior on factory installed cabs versus aftermarket installations. With most things in life, there's many trade-offs associated with an open station tractor vs a cab tractor.
    In this video, we'll talk about many differences including price, storage, features, maintenance, access, operation stations, and visibility. Hopefully this will give you a good look at the differences and get the wheels turning if you're trying to figure out the best option for you. As always, I greatly appreciate you taking the time to watch this video and find some useful information!

    I made a decision to get a bigger tractor after moving to my current property. I didn't know I could even get a (factory) cab on a Kubota in the size tractor I wanted/needed. Yes, there was a shock in the price difference when I found out I could actually get a cab and truly use my tractor regardless of the weather. I wanted my machine to be usable the entire year. Ultimately considering the facts that a cab helped buffer me from the heat/sunburn/allergens/windchill while outside finally justified (in my mind) the extra option and expense of a cabbed model. No regrets.

    I was extremely grateful I had a cab on my tractor last weekend. Last Saturday I was doing some grading and pulling up some tree roots. In the blink of an eye all I could see was steam and I heard a loud pop. It turned out one of he loader hoses blew and the hole was right in the direction of the operator station. If I hadn’t had the cab on I would have taken a hot mess of fluid in the face.

    I'm in the minority here, I actually prefer open station, but with a roofcap. That way I'm out of the sun and rain but still get a sense of being outdoors, rather than shut up in a cab on a nice day. 95% of my tractor work is done in nice Spring/Summer/Fall weather.
    We are near the ocean and the weather is quite moderate, 85f is a hot day in summer. 30f would be a cold day in winter, but I don't do much tractor work in winter, just a bit of snow removal maybe every other year.
    . If I lived in a very hot in summer/ cold in winter climate, then I think the heated and cooled cab would be high on the list.
    Sometimes I think a cab would be nice for snowplowing, but there again some winters are without snow. In any case the whole snow removal operation for about 500' of driveway here is done in 20 minutes or so, even if there's a freak 2 foot snowfall. 7 foot bucket, 93 pto horsepower 4wd tractor, drive in pushing on one side of driveway, turn around, drive out pushing on the other side. Now you have it cleared 14' wide.
    I can suit up for that!

    When I got my Kubota BX2380 I ordered it with a cab but changed my mind at the last minute. By the time winter hit and I put a closet full of warm clothes on to blow snow for the first time in an open station I realized the mistake I had made. I called the dealer and ordered the cab but it would be 4 weeks freezing in wind blown snow at 6 am in that open station. When the tractor arrived with the Tektite cab installed I immediately knew it was a good decision. It had heat, front and rear flood lights and a front wiper. The first storm I had the pleasure of using the cab I fired up both front and rear flood lights turned on the heater and when the snow blew back onto the windshield I smiled and flipped the toggle for the front wiper blade. Yup it was heaven. Now I can dress a lot lighter and still be comfortable. I will say though that the noise level went up and I started using ear plugs or ear muffs. Love that cab wouldn’t have it any other way! Enjoyed the episode wish I had seen it before I bought the open station!

    When I bought my 2R Tractor, the standard cab they offered was blocky and small, so I went with the Tektite cab.

The only drawback, it is an expensive learning curve when moving rocks as one rolled out of the loader and shattered a door. Bit breezy for a while :)

    The extra cost for the cab will also be worth whatever the extra you have to pay for it plus the tractor with a cab will get you over what you paid for the cab over. Cab tractors sell faster too. I have a snow thrower for my 3039 R and I would hate removing snow without the cab. I have a 72 center mount mower, I love the AC on a very hot humid day in July and August. The bad part about the cab is it is harder to keep a sun tan. LOL guess what? You get more time on the golf course to keep your tan and less time waiting for it to cool down to cut grass. My kids love cutting grass with a AM-FM radio with a CD player to jam on too. No comparison for me, get the tractor with the quiet cab.

  • @Orefamilylawncare
    @Orefamilylawncare 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Really tough decision honestly. If using in rain, snow conditions a cab would be VERY beneficial. Long days in the field I'd say cab also. On and off the machine constantly and not spending long hours in the field or working in rainy/snowy conditions I'd say open station. Also if for business purposes where multiple employees are using or trailering it I'd say open station. That glass can get expensive if broken and multiple users WILL break things.

    I've always had cab tractors and they're way more popular where I live, but I consider switching to an open station just because I climb on and off a lot and also do a lot of work together with my family.
    Cab in the forest is both a pro and con. Yes, you might scratch that cab a bit, but it also prevents you from getting a branch in your face. What type forests will matter a lot and if you're there a lot then you really need to consider further protecting that tractor which will be much easier on a cab since you can mount brush guards from the hood and up to the front corners of the cab. And in rugged terrain both tractors should have a belly plate.

    Guess my best solution is to get both an open station & a cabbed tractor LoL. Grew up with open station, miracle I'm not a walking skin cancer. I still really enjoy an open station, but with a canopy. The sun is rather close to us here in Oklahoma.... I purchased an "original cab co." Soft cab several years ago, threw a Buddy portable heater for winter use, love this arrangement most of the time. It takes about 30 minutes to strip the cab off, leaving the canopy on for summer. I'm trying to avoid using a factory cabbed tractor, because I know if I use one, I will have to have it!!
