The Unexpected Benefit of Having a Tractor with a Cab

Take a look at this video where I discuss the many benefits of having a cab!




Here's an outline of the video!


Benefits of Owning a Cab Tractor


  1. Climate Control: The most apparent benefit is having heat and air conditioning, making your work environment comfortable regardless of the weather.

  2. Comfort Features: Cab tractors often have cloth seats, which many find more comfortable than vinyl. The positioning of controls offers more options, and loader joysticks are typically integrated into the fender or cab for convenience.

  3. Amenities: Cabs may include Bluetooth radios for hands-free calls and music, enhancing your experience during long work hours.

  4. Protection: Cabs shield you from the elements, such as rain, snow, and windblown debris. They also provide filtration, crucial for those with allergies.

  5. Safety from Insects and Flying Objects: A cab protects you from bees, hornets, and small flying objects, ensuring a safer working environment.

  6. Productivity Boost: Extra lighting on cab tractors allows for extended work hours and easier implement hookups or maintenance tasks.

  7. Motivation to Work: Comfortable conditions make you more willing to work in extreme temperatures or challenging conditions, boosting your productivity.

  8. Fatigue Reduction: Operating a cab tractor leads to less fatigue compared to an open station, resulting in better decision-making and overall safety.

Cons

  1. Center of Gravity: Cabs can raise the center of gravity, requiring caution on steep slopes.

  2. Branches and Obstacles: Care must be taken to avoid low-hanging branches that could damage the cab.

  3. Cost: Cab tractors are typically more expensive upfront, but the resale value and benefits often justify the initial investment.

While a cab tractor may not be necessary for everyone, considering the benefits, especially if you spend a lot of time on your tractor, can be worthwhile. It offers comfort, safety, and productivity advantages that can make your work more efficient and enjoyable.
