The Benefits of Owning a Cab Tractor
A cab tractor is simply a tractor that has an enclosed cab built onto it that shelters the operator. This tractor might be installed at the factory where the tractor was made or placed on as an aftermarket addition by the owner. Either way, a cab tractor is a great asset to any farm as it provides a lot of excellent benefits over simply working out in the open.
High Plains Equipment is your North Dakota cab tractor dealer, with locations in Harvey and Devils Lake, serving Minot and Grand Forks. Here are just a few of the many ways that owning a cab tractor will make your life easier.
1. Shield Yourself From Inclement Weather
The weather is always going to be unpredictable, no matter where you are. Heavy spring rains and dry summer heat can make working outside difficult or impossible. But a cab tractor can help you to recoup some of that lost time by allowing you to work outside when conditions are less than ideal. Keep yourself dry in the rain and turn up the air conditioning in the summer to stay cool in the heat.
2. Avoid Getting Dirty
Working outside exposes you to a lot of dirt, mud and debris. An enclosed cab tractor will help you to stay cleaner and avoid stains on your clothes from grass clippings and blown dust. The cab will also protect you from flying objects like pebbles that could hurt you.
3. Conquer Allergy Season
Many people are plagued with allergies during the spring and summer months, and even with an allergy pill, you can find yourself sniffling, sneezing, scratching at hives, coughing and rubbing at your red eyes on pollen-heavy days. The shelter provided by an enclosed cab will help to limit your exposure to some of those allergens so that grass, pollen and dust aren’t infiltrating your respiratory system and settling on your skin.
4. Listen to the Radio
Without music, work can feel monotonous, but with an enclosed cab tractor, you’ll have access to a radio that will brighten your long days in the field. Tune into your favorite radio stations and listen to whatever strikes your fancy to pass the time until your tasks are complete.
5. Reduce Noise Levels
Working in an open tractor can be very noisy and irritating. Tractor engines are loud and so are their attachments. If you’re tired of hearing the drone and don’t want to wear hearing protection, an enclosed cab will reduce those decibel levels to the point that you aren’t troubled by your engine’s noise.
