farmernick06 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 and I LIKED you as well Nick :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( Im joking Marky my old china ... I do like the Masseys with this kind of styling as i told you at Spalding the kind that i grew up watching. As for the question i don't have a clue my guess it something to do with the front weights \ \ But other than that i don't have a clue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it must be John... check out the roof - what a great idea... I wonder why it was never offered in the UK \ It wasn't till the 3000s we got anything like that. I don't think those are sfety cabs though; don't look heavy enough... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 we had air-con in the 698t and 699 but not any of the 500's just good old open doors for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 another stunner marky , would need air-con with all that glass around you , as for safteycab ? no i don't think so either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archbarch Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Yeah it must be John... check out the roof - what a great idea... I wonder why it was never offered in the UK \ the UK has some of the toughest safety regulations for cabs and they dont look strong enough, even today cab regs are fairly strict for the UK dont know why perhaps we are the only ones with the testing equipment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeRoebuck Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I did hear/read from somewhere that the original ergonomists for early tractor cabs in the US had to take into account operators hats. (big old cowboy hats etc) This led to a high than needed cab, maybe Australian tractor operators had bigger hats back then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
