Read articles →A two-year owner of a Mahindra 1635 cab tractor makes the case for skipping the cab, a perspective rarely heard. He covers real-world downsides: greenhouse heat at 65°F, clearance problems in pole barns, poor fit for short jobs, and whether the 10-12k premium is worth it over buying more horsepower. Best for buyers actively weighing cab vs. open-station on a compact tractor used for varied commercial work.
Posted by the Carolla's Compact Construction channel, which appears to be an owner-operator sharing candid working impressions from running the tractor in their own business.
The owner says no, after two years he would rather have spent the 10 to 12 thousand dollar premium on 10 more horsepower instead of the cab.
Not always. The owner had to lift the garage door because the cab tractor is just under eight feet tall and caused clearance problems.
Yes, he describes a greenhouse effect where at 65 degrees outside you are running the AC because the cab cooks inside.
The owner says no, for a 20 or 30 minute job he does not want to fire up the AC and cool the whole cab down first.
