Never owned a tractor with a cab. Keep thinking I am tough, but its getting harder every year to eat dust and dirt.

When we got our first cab tractor, I swore I would never round bale again with an open station tractor. And, I haven't. It was so bad sometimes we had to bale going against the wind, dead-head back to the other end and start again.

My dad and a friend made a cab for dad's JD A back in the mid-fifties. He was teased by the neighbors for having a 'house on a tractor' but in the fall picking corn and plowing he was warm and they weren't. After that tractor was retired from hard field work in 1960 we didn't even have a Heat Houser until 1974 when I bought a 1070 Case. Today the young'uns get upset if they can't plug their Ipods into the tractor radio. Jim

It's not just a comfort issue. Inhaling that dust does your lungs permanent harm. At least wear a mask.

I guess ideas are like-whatevers, but I had a cab once, no air, and a baler that wouldn't do anything right. If I could 'hear' what the baler was up to, I kept a step ahead of that piece of junk. If you have a cab, and machines like mine, you will have to have the back window open anyway. Most of the downtime and repair costs of the big shots is from -yeah, having the tunes cranked up, the wheels turning fast.... and the sheared pieces of iron flyin'.... BTW, that is a really impressive tractor you have there! Only saw a D19 once, it wasn't for sale... I bet I know why!

I'm jealous.

Your D19 looks better than mine.
