[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1441205, member: 25884"] Rafter S is right. There is some dust with square baling, but it is nothing like the round baler. Part of it is that you are traveling a slower speed with a square baler and as it kicks up some dust, it will settle faster if it isn't really a big dust storm. Think of going 20 down a dirt road on a hot dry day and the dust, and then up it to 45 or 50 and the amount of dust created. There is one other thing about a cab on a tractor. We use a discbine and NEVER EVER operate it with a non-cab tractor. The speed that the blades operate at, is phenominal....and if one is "thrown" by the housing it is attached to, it can hit you and kill you in a second. They are great for speedier cutting, for getting through thick and down hay as they tend to "pick it up" as it cuts. But it is a cardinal rule that you do not use the discbine on any non-cab tractor. No one ever expects for those kind of accidents to happen, but they have. A cab has been credited with saving a few lives of farmers by stopping the blade that has broken off the discbine and been hurtled forward into the cab of the tractor. Not trying to scare you, and you most likely will use a simple mower or even a haybine with the cutter bar....but it is something to take into consideration. See some people with the little masks over their mouth and nose while baling so yes, anything will help. I also don't like the cooped up feeling of a cab, but the older I get, the more I can appreciate the cab when I have had reason to use that tractor. [/QUOTE]
