360° PANORAMIC VISIBILITY

This cab is designed specifically for chopping with wide curved windows offer a perfect view of the header and to the spout regardless of position. The sculpted, glazed side-door panels naturally follow the spout’s unloading arc for a clear line of sight during discharge. A rear window that gives you eyes-in-the-back-of-your-head-visibility. You can adjust the electric mirrors from the comfort of your seat to get the exact views you want, and you can manage up to three viewing cameras through the IntelliView™ IV monitor.

DESIGNED FOR YOUR COMFORT AND ERGONOMIC OPERATION
