I personally would not remove that just for resale value but it is your machine.I'd like to remove a section of the cage to improve visibility. I don't drive my machine in the woods or anything like that. What is the cleanest way to get this done?
The section I'd like to remove is outlined in red.
Thoughts?
I have a 2012 jd and mine unbolt. In your picture it looks like I see 3 of the 4 (I think, it's been awhile ) bolts. I don't remember if they show or are covered on the inside.I'd like to remove a section of the cage to improve visibility. I don't drive my machine in the woods or anything like that.

Again, the screen does not come off with a few bolts, it's all one piece that is a part of the cab.I could be wrong,. but doesn't that whole screen panel come off with a few bolts??
why not just un bolt it, rather than ruining it by cutting a section out of it??(on my NH they all are set up this way, , its also has to be removed to clean window, which is a pain, but its not that bad a deal I'd want to ruin them by cutting them up) if its welded on in any place, just grind the welds off, so it can be removed, I cannot see them being needed for structure support
IF set on cutting, I gather a grinding wheel in an angle grinder would work,(be even easier to do if you remove to cut , but sure it can be done in place on machine just be harder to smooth edges afterwards if left on to cut)
but I wouldn;t ruin then if they can be taken off, but your machine your call!A
Those bolts you are referring to hold the window frame in place. The screen is physically part of the top of the cab.I have a 2012 jd and mine unbolt. In your picture it looks like I see 3 of the 4 (I think, it's been awhile ) bolts. I don't remember if they show or are covered on the inside.
