Abstract
Modern agricultural machines are very complex, requiring extensive monitoring of multiple operations at the same time as they travel over very rough terrain. Hence, the cabs must be designed to provide not only good visibility of all monitors and easy access to all controls, but operator comfort and safety as well. This includes climate control (temperature, humidity, dust, noise, etc.), vibration damping, easy access on to and off of the tractor, good visibility from the cab and no controls jutting out where they could constitute a hazard. Good cab design promotes efficiency, comfort and safety.
