“Craftsman lawn tractor cab fits well and is easily installed”

The Craftsman Lawn Tractor cab is all that it was said to be. I ordered the cab through my local Sears store. I am a person who likes to save money by doing things for myself. When the cab arrived, I imediately spread the parts out on the garage floor beside my lawntractor. I read the instructions...

“Not bad but needs a lot of work (that's what she said)”

This is a good idea to have, which is why I bought it, but like the other reviewers stated there is no back to it which seems very strange for a winter/snow cab. 

The tractor cab went together per the instructions so no big problems there.  They should have included longer replacement bolts for the...

“Tractor Cab- Needs design review”

I bought this as part of the floor model display attached to the GT5000. Getting ready for the winter, my wife thought it was a great thing to get being that it was on clearance. To tell you the truth I was skeptical about how cumbersome it looked but figured I mine as well try it. After all the other preparation for pushing snow, installing the blade, installing the chains and weights, I assembled the cab which was pretty straightforward. My first concern while manuevering around as a test was that it was cumbersome to lift and adjust the blade with-out constantly pushing the canvas around. Most...

“Excellent cab for the money”

Excellent buy, would purchase again! I should have bought it 2 yrs ago when I purchased my lawn tractor! It fit on my Husqvarna with hardly no problems. This cab does exactly what it's supposed to do. It keeps the snow off of my face and keeps my legs dry. It cuts the wind down as well. If your expecting more, then spend the money and buy the Briggs and Stratton cab for alot more $. I've had this cab for 2 months and have used it over 8 hrs. various wind/snow conditions. The canvas cab that draps over the tubular frame is made of a strong material and the clear plastic also seems tough enough... read full review »

“Great Idea That Needs A Little Design Tweaking”

After reading other reviews, I decided to go with this cab knowing full well that I would have to do some modifications to it to meet my expectations.  So I haven't run into anything that wasn't expected.  The frame and cover both seem reasonably well made for the money and everything went together as described in the owner's manual.  It was a pretty easy assembly. I wanted to get it in and put together while it was still warm so I could  decide on and make the modifications that I was pretty sure that I was going to want.  I think that was a good decision. 

As expected after reading other...

“"SHATTER-RESISTANT PLASTIC" DIDN'T SURVIVE ONE MAINE WINTER”

Very disappointed.

“Keeps you warm and dry!”

I put this on my 2006 LT1000 which I use with snowblower. The mounting hardware which supposed to be "universal" did not fit the hole pattern on my tractor. I think Craftsman had changed hole locations beneath the seat. After spending several hours modding and fabricating I was able to install it. It does the job nicely but getting into the drivers seat is a bit tricky. Still benefit of being warm and dry is much higher then minor inconvenience or install problem. I agree with other reviewer that it is a bit overpriced and there is a definite need for rear clear door to keep snow from blowing in.... read full review »

“Can't Beat the Price”

I have a GS6500 tractor w/ the 48" snow blower attachment. The Snow Cab is great, as for quality, I think it's as good as can be, the material is durable enough for what it is intended. I don't have to put on my bib pants anymore and as a senior citizen, I enjoy clearing the driveway again. I've even added an amber dome light to it for safety and a piece of clear vinyl to cover the back. GREAT ECCESSORY.

“wishing to find a older style metal snow cab”

this plastic cab is just what it looks like it does keep the wind off you .I did put a clear piece of plastic on the back ,yes it helps BUT you better have your waterproof foot gear on and you better think how your going to get the snow off the plastic windsheld, but for $239. it will do until I find something better.

“snow cab ?”

It does keep snow and wind off you most of the time, too bad you can't drive into wind all the time. Clips that hold it in place keeps moving, the left hand controls for the snowblower does not operated easily in the cab. My BIG PROBLEM with the unit on my DYS4500 is you can not engage the snowblower unless you move the support that holds up the front of the cab. The clutch arm is 3 inches too long, it can not pass the support unless you move the support or else it pops up the hood on the tractor and the support falls on the battery - VERY BAD design. Bottom of support needs tape on it or else... read full review »

“Great wind break”

This product serves as a great wind break.

“Buying a second one for a gift”

This is our second year with the cab and during the wind and the blowing snow this cab does the trick. I am buying one for my sons tractor for Christmas. It also keeps the snow off when its not in use. I recomend this to anyone who loves his tractor.

“Cab for inclimate weather”

I like mine. I put it on in October and use it late fall and early spring. Its too expensive. The plastic windows are tricky to. When I open it up in the fall, the wrickles are there to stay. But I use it for clean up late in the fall and just after the winter so just having it there to block the wind is nice.

“Needs modification”

This cab is a good idea, but the way it was put together lacks thought.  Sears could have made a much better product. The hooks on the bottom do not stay fastened, the cab has no back, and they were cheap with the hardware. They did not supply bolts for where the brakets attach, you need to use the original spring bolts which are too short. This took most of the time for the assembly. I needed to buy longer bolts that would actually work. Once I bought the correct sized bolts everything went pretty easy as far as assembly is concerned. They also did not package the required adhesive pads, the...

“Tractor cab decent for the money, but wrinkled vinyl is lousy”

I live in northern Idaho and purchased this cab for my DGT6000 with the Craftsman 2-stage snowblower about two months ago. Overall I am happy with the device, and it's really nice not having the snow from the snowblower cover you when clearing the driveway.

The tube frame is relatively stout and it installed on my tractor easily and fits well, like it was made for my specific model. The DGT6000 is a large tractor (for Sears) and I can see how it would feel bulky and not fit well on some of the smaller ones. So far, the lack of a back cover does not really bother me.

There are a couple of things...
