I have a chance to buy a curtis soft cab for my 7500.
I have a manual chute on a rear mount blower.
My ? is, will this steam up with out a defroster?
I will have to leave the back window open a bit to access the handle. Not worried about the cold just the wind.
Thanks

I'm with Art--I used to operate backhoes in the winter to move snow. Even with a factory cab and heater on full blast the windows frost up just from your breath or normal perspiration.
After about an hour being in the cold I found it just as effective to get acclimated to the cold and leave a window or door open to prevent steam buildup---once it hits the cold window you get ice. ....
