It's getting hard to find tractor cabs for the garden tractor size
tractors. Curtis Cab and Cozy Cab no longer offer this size.
We've found the Berco cab to be a nice, easy to use,
economical cab.

mounted his tractor cab on a John Deere 855
 |
I thought you might like to see
how your cab fit on my John Deere 855. It fit great, and I did not
have to drill any holes. The front brackets fit on top of my foot
rests, and the holes matched perfectly. The only thing I changed was
a longer bolt for the drawbar mount. It took about 2 hours for
assembly. |

From Jim
B: The BERCOMAC Universal Tractor Cab is great. I had it on in about
one hour the next day, I wanted to let the cover warm up overnight.
I noticed a little plus, the heat from the engine and lack of wind
raises temperature inside the cab by about 13 degrees F. Sure beats
sitting in cold wind and covered with blowing snow. My first use was
in 22 degrees F and gusting winds around 15 to 20 mph, I stayed
warmer and nice and dry. It's a great product and easy to install.
I don't normally endorse any product but this one is an exception,
it meets or exceeds all my expectations! |
We received a nice e-mail from Lee,
he likes his Berco cab: I just wanted to let you know it
arrived today. I unpacked it, placing the cover itself in the house
to warm up before trying to fit it. I installed the frame work on my
Wheel Horse. A very simple and straight forward task. After allowing
a couple of hours to warm up and soften I put the cover over the
frame. Boy that cab fits like it was engineered for a Wheel Horse.
I couldn't be more pleased with it.
And another from Ray: Just wanted to drop you a line and let
you know that I installed your snow cab on my 2004 Kubota GR2000
garden tractor and it fits like it was custom made for my tractor.
The quality was as advertised and the instructions to install it
were clear and easy to follow.
From Harold: Thank You so much for the universal cab and the
super fast shipping. I put the cab in the house, laid it out, made
sure all parts were there, and then let it heat up so it would
smooth out. After about a day at room temperature I took it to my
shop and put it on my GX345. Installation from start too finish took
all but about 20 minutes. I could swear this was pre built for my
tractor. Everyone wants too know where I got it and wants one.

Q:
I'm impressed with the snow cab however I have one concern about the
height of 68" to 74". My garage door clearance is only 72" from
floor to top of door. Does the height of the universal cab include
the 16" to 18" from ground to top of tractor frame? I want to be
able to place my equipment in my garage. Could the max height be
under 72" including tractor clearance? The tractor is a John Deere
L120.
A: If your
tractor clearance is 26 inches or less from the top of your rear
fender to the ground you will clear a 72" height.
Q: Jim, I am interested in the Universal tractor cab and have a
1999 18 horse
Simplicity Landlord. It looks like from the Q and A on your site
that it
will adapt to my tractor. I am wondering about storage the rest of
the year. Is it easily taken apart and stored for summer? Do you
recommend this or is
it damaging to the soft vinyl? I have very little space for storing
another
large item in my shed.
A: This unit
will store into a very small space. It comes in a box that is 48"
X 12" X 12". Disassembling it is not a problem. Yes, it should fit
right onto your tractor.
Q: Will the universal tractor cab fit a John Deere LX 188 lawn
tractor? Exactly how does it mount onto the tractor? How long does
it take to install and then uninstall for summer use? Is there any
type of manual wiper for the front window so if snow gets on it, you
can easily get it off so you can see?
A: The
brackets connect up by your right and left toes. The rear connects
to your hitch. This is a soft windshield, you cannot use any type of
windshield wiper. Remove 5 bolts and you will be ready for summer
use. It will fit your tractor without any problems. There is also a
screen cover available for this cab.
Q: Will your cab fit my new Kubota GR2100?
A: Yes, my new universal cab
will fit your tractor, we have actually mounted them on a bigger
tractor than that.
Q: Will your tractor cab fit an old series Honda 5518 with
all wheel steering?
A: Yes,
the cab is big enough for your tractor.
Q: Does you cab fit a Wheelhorse 300 series tractor?
A: Yes, our garden tractor cab
will fit on your tractor and all the mounting brackets and hardware
is included for most applications.
Q: Will this cab fit a 1988 John Deere 265 garden
tractor?
A: Yes,
our cab will fit right on a Deere 265.
Q: Will the Bercomac cab fit a
Cub Cadet
LT 1046? Is the summer screen included?
A: Yes, the Bercomac cab will fit
on your LT 1046. The summer screen can be purchased separately
but I do not think you would need it as the 2 winter doors roll up
and are held up with Velcro strips.
Q: Will your universal cab
go on a Simplicity Sovereign and do you ship to Canada?
A: Yes, our cab would fit your Simplicity Sovereign
with no problems. Yes, we have shipped the cabs US mail to
Canada.
Q: I've been searching for
years for a cab that would fit a 1981 International Cub Cadet 1450
that is used exclusively for snow throwing. Will the Berco cab
fit?
A: Yes, the Berco cab will fit right on your 1450 Cub Cadet.
Q: Will your cab fit a
Toro Wheel Horse 520 Lxi?
A: Yes, our cab will fit on your 520 Wheel Horse
machine.
Q: Will you cab work with a
Case 222?
A: Yes,
without a doubt my cab will fit your Case 222 garden tractor just
fine.
Q: Will the Berco cab fit the John Deere 700 garden
tractors and is it available in Canada?
A: Yes,
my cab will fit the X700. We will send you one to Canada.
Q: I have a 1960's Bolens 850, will the universal cab fit these
older tractors?
A: Yes, our cab is big enough
to fit that tractor with ease.
Q: Just wondering if that Berco cab is still available and will
it fit my 127 Cub Cadet?
A: Yes, we
have the Berco cabs in stock. They will fit right onto your 127
Cub Cadet.
Q: Can a Berco soft sided cab fit over the loader mounts
with the loader off of the tractor? I have a John Deere 445.
A: Yes, the
cab can be used with the loader frame on the tractor.
Q: Will your Bercomac tractor cab fit on my John Deere
355D (diesel)?
A: Yes,
the 700423 cab will fit right on your tractor.
Back to Top
Q: I have a John Deere 318
garden tractor, will the universal
tractor cab fit these older tractors?
A: Yes, we have put these cabs on
many John Deere 318 garden tractors and they fit fine.
Q: For a couple of years I've thought about a tractor cab but
the cost was usually prohibitive. Your price is about half of a
factory soft side cab.
I have a 1994 Simplicity Broadmoor 16.5 hydro lawn tractor. I have
120 lbs in a weight box on the back that is mounted on by the bagger
brackets and a hinge pin thru the trailer and tow accessory mounting
hole.
What kind of problems could I run into in mounting your universal
cab?
Is there anything else I need to know?
A: These cabs
are very universal. You do not have to hook it on the rear hitch.
Just take and bolt it onto something solid in the general area. It
should work out good for you.
Q: I was wondering if your lawn tractor cab will fit a
Simplicity Legacy XL.
A: Yes,
it will fit fine. You will have no problem fitting it on your lawn
tractor.Q: Will the Berco
cab you offer fit a new John Deere 180 lawn mower? The local
dealer didn't have any cabs.
A: The
cabs I have will fit right on your John Deere 180 tractor.
Q: I am interested in your universal tractor cab. How would it
mount to my AC 716H (Simplicity 7016) garden tractor?
A: Our universal cab would mount on
that size tractor very easily. There is a mount that goes on by your
left toe and another mount that goes on by your right toe, then
there is just one bracket in the rear that can bolt on to any of
your hitch area.
Q: How do you ship? How long is the assembly? Sounds like an
interesting approach and cheaper than most other options.
A: I would say it would take about 2
hours to assemble the cab. Once you have it together it only takes
about 5 minutes to put it on or take it off of your tractor. One of
our customers suggests warming the vinyl up first.
We ship FedEx ground.
Q: I noticed someone put the snow cab on a Wheel Horse. Do
you know if it would fit a 5XI series Wheel Horse garden tractor? It
is their largest tractor.
A: I am quite sure the cab will fit, I
checked and it doesn't appear to be any larger than the John Deere
455 diesel and I've installed a cab on that.
Q: Will your tractor cab fit a Wheel Horse C-160 tractor? The
cab bolts under the seat so I am wondering how/where your cab
fastens to my C-160 and where do the bolts fasten to my tractor?
A: Yes our cab will fit fine on your
tractor. The cab fastens where your left toe is at on your running
boards, then where your right toe is at too. This holds up the front
of the cab. The rear of the cab is held up by a bracket that comes
down and hooks up to somewhere on your rear hitch, or anything else
in the area that is solid.
Q: I saw you tractor cab on the internet...WOW Will it fit a
Craftsman DYN 4000 lawn tractor?
A: Yes, I'm not sure of the size of
your tractor but I haven't seen a Craftsman tractor bigger than what
this cab fits. The dimensions of the cab are:
34 inches wide
43½ inches long
68 to 74 inches high
Q: Will this fit the early Simplicity Landlord & Allis
Chalmers B-10's?
A: Yes, our Bercomac universal tractor
cab will fit your tractors.
Back to Top
Q: Does the universal can fit a John Deere 425 garden
tractor? How long for delivery?
A: Yes, this cab fits the 425 John
Deere garden tractor, We can send you one, if we have them in stock
it takes about 3 days to get it.
Q: Curious if the universal cab will fit on a John Deere
GX345 garden tractor. There doesn't seem to be many manufacturers
out there, and right now, you're beating everybody in price by
almost half. Got my 345 almost a year ago with a snowblower. Used to
have a LX model with a blade and never really had much of an issue
except for getting a little cold. With the blower, it's a different
story ... can only use the wind to your advantage most of the time.
Ended up with a face full more than once last year.
A: Yes they are nice cabs for the
money and it will fit on your GX345 John Deere as we already have
put them on the John Deere 455 Diesel garden tractor. That's great
our price is lower! I have to agree, it's when you are snowblowing
it's really nice to have a cab. I've blasted myself a few times.
Q: I have a an older
Simplicity 716H lawn tractor. Will your cab fit my tractor?
A: Yes, it is a universal type cab and will fit your
size tractor very well.
Q: I am wondering if model 700423 Bercomac garden tractor
cab will fit on a 2004 John Deere LT 180 series lawn tractor.
A: Yes, this cab should fit your
lawn tractor just fine.
Q: How well would your cab
fit on a C-175 Wheel Horse?
A: Yes, it will fit right on that tractor
Q:
Would your universal cab fit a John Deere 212
garden tractor?
A: You won't have any problems installing this universal cab
on your John Deere 212 garden tractor.
Q: I am looking at a 2006
Simplicity Prestige tractor. Will the Berco cab fit on that
O.K.? Will I just have to drill a hole in the floor boards?
A: Yes, I checked into it and this 700423 cab will fit right
on your tractor very
easily. One bracket will come down and mount by your left toe and
another bracket by your right toe. To hold the rear of the cab up,
there is a bracket coming down that will mount to your rear hitch.
It's very fast and simple to do.
Back to Top
Q: I have a John Deere 335
garden tractor, is there a cab that fits this tractor?
A: Yes our 700423 universal tractor cab fits right on
this tractor.
Q: Will this cab fir my
John Deere 240 garden tractor? I live fairly close to you, can
I pick the cab up?
A: Yes, the 700423 cab fits great on your John Deere
240 garden tractor. If you want you can pick the cab up
anytime M-F 9 AM to 10 PM. Saturday until 6 PM.
Q: I would like to know if this cab will fit a John Deere
X595 garden tractor.
A: The cab will fit a X595 John Deere. We have already
installed them on a John Deere 445 garden tractor.
Q: Can you tell me if your
tractor cab will fit an older Gravely 424 4 wheel tractor? I assume
there will be some modifications required. Also, Access to the
Gravely engine is by lifting the rear "hood" up, similar to a trunk.
Do you think I'll have to undo the hitch attachment each time to get
access to the engine?
A: They are very universal
cabs. We have mounted them on the John Deere 430 diesel garden
tractor which I think is about the same size as your tractor.
If you mount the cab so the sides of the cab hang over or beyond the
left and right side of your rear hood there should be room inside
the cab for your seat to come up and forward. It is fairly universal
so you can pretty well work around your problems.
Q: I have a Cub Cadet 1554GT garden tractor. This model does
not have hydraulic lift for the blower, therefore the operator needs
to manually lift with a long lever on the right side. Would your cab
allow enough room inside the cab to do this?
A: Yes, you will have plenty of
room for your lever.
Q: Would the #700423
tractor cab fit my
old Case 446 garden tractor? It has
the very large tires on the rear.
A: Yes, this is a large universal cab that we already put on
quite a few of the larger garden tractors and it fit that with no
problems.
Q: Will your tractor cab fit on my John Deere L120 lawn
tractor?
A: Yes, my universal cab will fit you L120 John Deere.

Q: I have a John Deere
LX277 lawn tractor that I am looking to add a cab to this winter for
blowing snow. It is a very nice tractor and I want to add something
that looks and fits like it was designed for, and belongs on, the
tractor. Do you have a cab that fits this description? It doesn't
have to be green, but it would be nice.
I have built a removable weight box that is mounted on the back of
the frame, and uses the trailer hitch as part of the support. I
would like to know if you have any mounting information that you
could send me so I can see how this weight box would work with a
cab. I have seen some photos on your web site, and everything looks
good, but I am looking for something more specific to the John Deere
LX277 tractor. Can you tell me if I have to drill any holes in my
lawn tractor or will the tractor cab bolt to existing holes?
A: The Bercomac tractor cab will fit your tractor and
can be fitted around your weight box. You need to drill two small
holes by your left foot and right foot to hold the front and the
rear. It just bolts to your rear hitch so it's easy to put on.
Q: I have a 2001 John
Deere 355D garden tractor and wonder if your Berco cab will fit it
and can a person haul the tractor with the cab on down the highway
at speed or do you have to remove it?
A: The Berco cab will fit fine on your 355D John Deere as we
have already put them on the 455D John Deere garden tractor and it
fits on that O.K. I would say you could haul it around town O.K.,
but hauling on the freeway would be pretty hard on it.
Q: Will the Berco
Universal Tractor Cab fit my White GT950H garden tractor?
A: Yes the Bercomac universal tractor cab will fit your
tractor nicely.
Q: Am I correct in thinking the
Universal Tractor Cab Model 700423 will fit my John Deere L111 lawn
tractor? The dimensions seem to be " in the ballpark". The tractor
will have the 2 stage snowblower mounted on the front.
A: Yes, it will easily fit on the JD 111 as it also
fits the bigger tractors.
Q: I was wondering if the
universal tractor cab would fit a Sears lawn tractor type LT series.
A: Yes, this cab will fit a Sears lawn tractor, it will
be plenty big enough for you.
Q: Will this tractor cab
fit a Craftsman LTX 1000 lawn tractor?
A: Yes, this cab will work for you.
Q: I have a John Deere
model LX176 lawn tractor, what soft sided snow cab do you sell that
will fit this model?
A: I have the Bercomac soft sided cab system that will fit
right on your
LX176.
