The 2023 model also includes an optional instructor seat, perfect for instances when you need to train someone or accommodate a second rider.
 


 

Increased Visibility

The premium cab's visibility features have been enhanced with an overhead window for a panoramic view, ideal for loader work. Additionally, the cab includes roll-out shades for both the overhead and front windows to protect against sun glare.
 


 

Updated Control Panel and Added Features

The right-hand dash panel of the premium cab houses all the essential controls, including shifters and rear hydraulic remotes, and a three-point adjustment. This 2023 upgrade also incorporates a 'go home' lighting system, a USB and auxiliary port, a rear wiper switch, and even a Bluetooth radio, adding convenience and entertainment to your ride.
