Was just looking at some of the newest pic's posted and brought to mind a question I had.I see the windows have heavy tint on some machines,what is people's thoughts on this.I would think it is a great idea for the operator.Now if I was working outside by the machine as a labourer I would be a little nervous as I couldn't see the operator and know he could see or notice me.I see a lot of woods machines are tinted but they normally don't have people walking in the area.So what's the thought, good, bad, dangerous,poor visability in night or whatever.

I have never used or worked around a piece of equipment with tinted glass. I can definitely see where there would be concern if I were the laborer working with someone when I couldn't see their eyes. Scares me to think about. Although there are some that I would work with like that now that I think of it, but only becasue I know they operate well & safely & I am in tune with them.

Every Machine I have has tint on them my guys have no problem working around these machines and as far as seeing out of the machine its just like wearing sunglasses and operating a canopy machine.
