Narrow cab

[500K_773]

I was at the Case dealer today looking for a Rezloh cutting edge and decided to look at their skid steers. Boy are the cabs pretty narrow. I was in an 85XT and felt really bunched up in there. The mid-sized Bobcat and Cat machines even have wider cabs than the Case. Maybe I'll take a tape measure and go back and try the machine again.

I'm a small guy, so the cab width never bothers me... but I think you are right in saying that. The G-series Bobcat cabs are (I think) a little bit wider than the Case cabs, but I think that Gehl and Deere have the widest cabs in the industry.

I'm going to differ on the opinion on the deere, I drive 240's and 250's for snow removal, the arm rests will cram you in, that cab is also a real pain in the a$$ to get in and out of the hydraulic struts that hold the door open never do, the crappy wiper always drops when ever you open the door and gets bent or broken in the process. JD has the least user friendly cab I've even cramed myself into. You sit so far forwards in it that if you do tap a curb when plowing you'll be lucky not to put your face through the glass. speaking of glass jd puts the glass on the sides outside of the roll cage so it can get broken from falling debre and jammed when you try to open or close the windows. And I far prefer the option of riding with out the belt if I want to... in other words I like the lap bar in my bobcat and I don't mind the non-ratcheting seat belt either. Bobcat has the largest and some of the plushest cabs in the market period.

I'm not going to argue against you... I'm still a Bobcat fan!

The cabs are tight for elbow room. I don't mind it but I probably have gotten used to it. As far as plush goes I would agree that bobcat has a nice cab. The 400 series CASE machines are improved over the XT models but they are not any wider. It will be awhile before that is addressed.
