That took long enough. :)

Nice looking machine. Limited vision around the windows. Looks like they are still using old school rubber seal windows.

Anxious to hear operator's opinions about it after running one for awhile.

That's not the new updated cab for the lever style controls, but still a great looking machine, the old hands will be glad.

Oh, guess I should have looked closer, I thought that's what it was.

So this version still uses Joystick Controls? What is the purpose of the cab change?

That cab design is for lever controls but they now have a new next generations cab design for the lever control, way more visibility with some really nice upgrades for the H series style cab, you can see one in a video in the 120 series grader on Cats website, take notice of the roll over beam directly behind the operator in the video, there's not to much info out on the next generations cabs for the new 140's and 120's series yet.
