Tractor cab glass, cut and set at the farm

Deere, Kubota, New Holland, Case IH, Massey and every older machine still earning its keep. Call (860) 506-6682.

Connecticut farm tractors live long lives, and their glass does not. ClearCab Equipment Glass serves the tobacco and nursery operations of the Windsor flats, the orchards on the Southington ridgelines and every hay field in between, cutting cab glass to pattern at the machine for $300 to $650 installed per the published table.

Why farm glass is a pattern-cutting trade

A twenty year old tractor is mid-career by farm standards, but its glass left the dealer catalog years ago. Every pane on those cabs is flat, and a flat pane needs a pattern, not a part number. We trace the opening or the largest surviving piece, cut laminated or tempered stock on the truck, and set it in fresh channel rubber the same visit. The tractor never leaves the yard and the repair does not depend on any supplier still caring about your model year.

Orchard, tobacco and loader work all break glass differently

Orchard tractors take limb rake across doors and roof panes all season. Tobacco tractors thread netting poles with inches of clearance and lose door glass at rig-up and takedown. Loader tractors crack front panes when a bale spear or bucket edge swings high. We see each pattern weekly, stock glass accordingly, and will flag the cheap prevention where one exists, a poly roof pane for orchard duty being the usual example.

What growers ask us

Nobody stocks glass for my tractor anymore. Now what?

That is our main tractor service. We lift the pattern from your door or frame and cut flat laminated or tempered stock to it at the machine, $300 to $650 installed. The dealer part number can stay discontinued.

Can you come during harvest when I cannot spare the tractor?

Yes, and early morning is the standard answer: we set glass at first light and the tractor makes its full day. Tell us your window and we work inside it.

Do you tint tractor glass?

We stock green-tint and shade-band laminated flat stock, and will hold both against your cab before cutting so the new pane matches the light the operator is used to.

The cab door glass on my loader tractor cracked in the cold with no impact. Why?

Frame twist. Tractors parked on frozen uneven ground load the cab frame, and old brittle channel rubber transfers that stress straight into the glass. New pane on new rubber usually ends the repeat breakage.
