Heating and aircon are very necessary to maintain productivity nowadays. I shall be dreaming of such things as I sit twiddling levers in an open cabbed tractor today, assuming I can get it to start after a month's lay up.

I'd never go back to an open cab alpine tractor, thats for sure.

I wouldn't put up without a heated/cooled cab if I had 10 years working life in front of me. I never really enjoyed full time machine work, so mixed with a bit of cutting suited me. As to modern harvester or forwarder driving, I am not interested especially the 12 hours in the cab daily.

 

As it was I gave up contracting 15 years ago but, mistakenly, hung on to the machines for pootling around with.

 

The County with crane and winches is ideally suited for the current job, pulling ash off a hill which machines are not allowed on, converting then forwarding half a kilometer.  It would be better with a 360 with a grab-shear and a modern tractor though.

Interesting Mike, is that a regular logbullet with a cab? (Not the megamax) or is there more to it?

 

be great if you could update the thread with going from forwarder to tractor and trailer and back to forwarder again please :)

I'm quite partial to operating something with an air adjusted/heated seat, fridge, air con, auto gearbox etc. I have few good memories from tractors with no cab, hard seats and a feed bag with straw in it!

I can quite believe it doug with all that rear action prodding (73")
