Building an enclosure for the bobcat 453

ducaticorse · Sep 8, 2011

So, I want to do an enclosure for my 453 for winter work. Obviously I can do this on my own, but over the cpl years I've been here, I've heard some great ideas and tricks to get work done that I have never thought of before. So have at it with the suggestions! TIA

Here's one option. Might be some other less expensive options out there.

Buy Acrylic Cab Enclosures for Bobcat Skidsteers from Skid Steer Solutions.

I believe this is the same manuf. I got mine from. Was Cardinal something but couldn't find it online and this popped up with that name.

and that guy from skidsteer solutions......I wouldn't recommend getting anything from them.

How was the quality. I saw something similar to this @ skidsteer solutions.... Does it fog up bad?

Fogging doesn't seem to be too much of a problem, you can open up a lower flap to let some air in. I don't have a heater though , it's mostly to keep the blowing snow and ice out. It does get blurry sometimes though but the front is pretty taught and it runs off good.

Sweet, the quality LOOKS good, I'm going to put a heater in too, so that will eliminate any fogging I suppose. Thanks!
