Those Sekura cabs are really rather good, as long as you have a bump cap on.

6' on the button, hence the need for a bump cap! Especially when looking backwards - wham! every time.

the seat is adjustable, you can lower it so you sit lower down, lift it up and you hear it click, lift it right up and it drops down
or just fit an air seat like i did, im 5ft10 and ive never hit my head once in those cabs
i have, however, ruined many sets of overalls by getting them hooked on the door catch when i get out of the cab

when you can buy 12000ft of poly for 23 quid
bit of a no brainer, buy a baler what uses cheaper string
and mice dont eat poly either, and it doesnt rot when it gets damp

mirror mounted on the rear window gas strut
i should have designed these things, they would have been much better

No the 94 series must have been designed by a tall man. Short arses can't reach the clutch pedal properly.

Clobbered my bonce many times on the top rear bar of the cab roof reversing the Marshall. Bugger of a place for it - two inches higher and it would have been perfect.
The sorted it on Ford's 40 series, though.

I liked those cabs on the 1390 and 94, they were the best bit about them, and much better than the Crystal Palace style slidy rear windows on the 996, now that was a piece of work

Nb, don't mean to be totally DB bashing here, the brown and white 990 we had was wonderful, as was the little 885 and the old red and yellow one we borrowed from the neighbour. These were especially good ON THE BALER

If I need to see a 885, I just have to fall over the fence, my neighbour only has three.
