You need to find a solid, non-cracking replacement cab! :(

Plugged in?

That’s not a cold start. ;)

It has neither cab nor loader, so it stays parked in the winter. It does have a block heater too, but I’m just not gonna bother.

yeah, it was a little too easy... though the hydraulics were still VERY unhappy, I think the bypass valve just stuck open.

yeah, I just put new curtains in it two years ago... this cold is just brutal on the plastic though. I wonder what I could get that’s less brittle? It’s got PVC windows now... is clear PTFE available in sheets?

No idea! Is there a solid cab available for that model perhaps? I.e. like lexan windows, etc?

How’s the Zetor? Czech tractors ftw! :P

Sounds a lot like my Volvo 240 did this morning at -2.

I’ve thought about adding my own doors... the cab frame and front and rear windows are good, it’s just the soft sides that are a PITA....

The Zetor, not having a cab, and being larger than we need to run the snow blower, and not having 4WD or a loader, gets to take the winter off.
