It's light on specs and no in-depth loader or backhoe demo, but useful for buyers weighing the cab option in cold climates.
Posted by an owner-operator (TIMBER JAY) documenting his own property projects, so expect personal impressions rather than a neutral or dealer comparison.
To get a cab on a John Deere he would have needed the 3 series, which cost too much and had emissions restrictions; the CK2610 also had greater lifting capacity front and rear.
At fifteen degrees below zero he sits in the cab with no gloves or parka, listening to music, calling it a very comfortable environment compared to being exposed to the cold.
He uses the pallet forks to move heavy sawmill cutoffs, some close to 100 pounds, replacing the old method of hand-loading them into a trailer towed by a side by side.
