Newb question: I'm looking for a mini excavator to use on various projects on my property. I don't have shop space at present for the machine so it would be stored outside. We are in a very snowy location: we have 2-3' accumulation through the winter which lasts 4-5 months. I'm finding more machines available here with no/open cab vs closed cab and they are also typically less expensive. It seems like being covered in deep snow for months would not be good for controls, seat etc. Do folks cover these machines in storage (like you would an RV) or should I limit myself to closed cab machines for my climate conditions? Thanks.
