Operators are sure to appreciate what this cab has to offer — beginning with an isolated cab. These cabs are designed with robust mounting points integrated into the rollover protective structure (ROPS) with a unique offset mounting design that provides an ultra-quiet ride.

The four-post ROPS design, carefully laid-out interior, and fuel tank located under the left rear side of the operator's platform provide a full 360 degrees of visibility.

Operators enjoy a commanding view no matter what task is being performed.
The raised header bar design allows operators — whether short or tall — to see the loader bucket or pallet forks through virtually the full range of operation.
Operator fatigue caused by awkward bending is reduced, leading to increased overall productivity.
The slow-moving vehicle (SMV) sign can be easily removed and stored in the operator's manual holder to provide a clear and unobstructed view for attaching to implements and doing field work.
The ample headroom and curved glass on all four sides provide a spacious interior and give operators the feel of a large tractor cab.

Operators are well-protected from the elements with a high-performance climate-control system providing heating and air conditioning.

The climate-controlled cab makes any task more enjoyable whether on a frigid winter day or a hot summer day.
The cab is completely sealed and pressurized to further protect the operator from the elements.
A standard high-efficiency clean-air filter keeps even the smallest dust and allergen particles out.

Air-suspension seat

Two air-ride seat options are possible in 3R cab models. Both utilize the same suspension, which is designed to provide an air cushion for vertical-seat travel. This provides maximum operator comfort in any terrain. The two options are:

1. The optional factory-installed air-ride seat with a deluxe cloth two-piece seat with adjustable backrest and integrated armrests (for the 3039R and 3046R only).

Seat features:

Push the button at the base of the seat to pump up the seat. Pull the button to deflate the seat.
The seat slides fore/aft with a lever on the right-hand side of the seat.
The seat back reclines with a lever in the lower left corner of seat cushion.
Upper backrest extension available as a field installed option.

2. The optional field-installed air suspension kit that requires the existing standard seat to be re-used when installed.

NOTE: The deluxe two-piece seat top can be ordered through Parts for customers who desire it.
