Tractor cabs have reached a whole new level of comfort. New models for 2012 incorporate the best features from home to your glass palace in the field.

You’ll see redesigned control arms that move with the seat. Touch-screen display consoles, capable of streaming live video. Heated seats that swivel. Remote vehicle-monitoring systems. Automatic climate control. Wireless Internet. Intelligent cab suspension. Hookups for MP3s. USB ports and Bluetooth technology. Even a refrigerator under the seat to keep your drinks cold.

Tractor introductions were rampant this year because of the new engine requirements, which basically required a rebuild of the tractor frame. Manufacturers took the opportunity to revamp the cabs of these tractors to make the ancillary price hikes less painful.

Here’s a preview of the creature comforts you’ll get with your next tractor purchase.
