Thanks buddy, much appreciated will be back in the shopvery soon for another season of cabs loving all the nice comments ,thanks again

Thank you ,it’s nice to hear from people who realize what goes into a build like this

Thanks buddy

Thank you , I do lots of kioti,s and lots of every other brands ,actually cabs is all I’ve been doing for almost 12 years now. Located just outside of Bathurst NB

I get asked all the time for ac ,honestly it’s just to much $$ and a whole lot more work ,but yes it could be done..

@@bradgraycabs Thanks for the reply, I agree on the money part. I added a radiator fan above the seat that blows downon the operator it works great not ac but sure beats the heck out of nothing.

No requirements around here, it’s just myself alone in my shop building what I think is a very rugged product that the average person can afford, as far as rops goes I’d rather be inside of one of my cabs than an open station tractor with single rollbar any day if i were to topple over or have something fall from above. Good luck with your forestry rops project I’ve done these years ago and it’s fun stuff basically all around armour for the tractor 🚜 I usually come off the front bush guard with heavy 2’’ square tubing straight back to top of front of cab encircling entire cab then dropping down to tractor frame level and secure, underneath the tractor usually gets a full heavy skid plate, pretty much bulletproof after that

@@bradgraycabs I’d rather be in one of your cabs too. The only issue in the USA is that it’s a big violation of OSHA to allow an employee to operate a tractor that has an unapproved or modified FROPs and ROPs. Plus civil liability. Farm owner can operate them, just not employees. I don’t yet have any local employees but might in the future. I plan to do basically what you describe but I’ll make a new fixed grill guard and might use round tubing instead though I would rather have square…depending on price and availability in my area. Going to check before I buy a tube bender plus dies. I think I’ll run limb risers from the grill guard and tie them into the cage for the cab. And build the cab cage completely independent of the existing ROPS - pass it over the top of the factory ROPS and tie it into the same mounting point the ROPS is attached to. This should allow me to relocated the marker/turn lights off the fender (one is already bashed) into the cage and better protect them (and incorporate work lights).

@@silverbackag9790 sounds like a good plan,if you use round pipe you can buy all kinds of weld on elbows,90*. 45*. 22.5*. ect. Makes life easier good luck with your project I’m sure you’ll do great 👍

Hello sir, I’m located just outside of Bathurst NB

@@bradgraycabs your work is excellent

@@bradgraycabs do you have a estimate on how much a cab cost or does that depend on the tractor?

@@reecemcdowell7768 most cabs are around $8000 installed ,pretty much loaded and ready to work

@@bradgraycabs I’m subscribed. Will you ever add AC in the cabs?
