I do my snow plowing with a "77" and have been thinking about buying a heater cab. Are they worth the time and expense?

I appreciate all the good information. I have been plowing snow with this old tractor since I bought it in the mid seventies. I don't do much road traveling but am on the tractor a good two hours when it snows heavy. I mounted a 8ft Fisher power angle plow on it and it is weighted and has chains. Not much stops it, three feet of snow is no problem. Either the winters here in upstate NY are getting colder or I am getting old and tender. What ever the case I have a heat houser ordered.

Neighbor has a canvas "half cab" on his...Like one youd buy from CT. Cuts the wind when you go down the road!!! He paid around 175??? Worth every cent to stay a little warmer.

I would say yes if you spend much time at all on it in the winter. The other posts bring up good points---the worst time is road travel, or anytime the wind speed is up for that matter.
A tractor you mount from the rear (as opposed to the side that has the folding door) makes the heat-houser no trouble at all except to put on and take off. The heat coming off the engine really feels good on those cold days. You may need to partially cover the radiator to get the tractor up to operating temperature for the full effect. During fall and spring, if the weather does get warm for a day or two, you can roll back the flaps on the side curtains and do away with the heat, no need to take it on and off until the weather gets warm for good that season. There's another opinion for you.

Don't where you live but if you use that tractor a few times in the winter, $170. heat houser is well worth the money.

I don't hae a cab either - these have been my observations oer the last couple of years.....

obviously it matters what the heat houser costs, whether it comes with a door or windshield, how will u get on and off your tractor if it is on, etc

it also obviously matters how many times u use it in a winter (everyone knows that don't they)

it also matters how long it takes each time u start your tractor - if it is a short job - probably not worth it - but if u start and blow snow al morning - then the houser will get warmer and keep u warmer.....

BUT the biggest reason I have found - if I never go out on the open road to drive between my place and somewhere else I can get along without one, but those trips to go somewhere else are killers let me tell you - I try to limit them to the warmest day I can find and only a couple of times each winter
