Applying anhydrous is not that hard and you do not need a cab.
BUT!
You need good equipment and you need to match the equipment to the tractor. I used to pull a 550 gal side-dress applicator with 5 shanks on 36” wide rows with a D17.
HOWEVER… since you have never applied anhydrous ask the local co-op if they custom apply anhydrous. It would be worth paying then $8-12/acre for custom application.
Anhydrous can be very dangerous if you have never applied it before.
PLUS… it depends on the quality of the equipment that you have.
I always rented equipment from a local co-op about 16 years ago the morons got rid of their side-dress applicators and the only thing available was tool bars. The smallest they had was a 7 knife job that was made from a super heavy duty double frame unit that was originally part of a 13 shank unit.
This thing was heavier than ****.
I hooked it up to my 930 Diesel and was fine until I hooked up the 1000 gal nurse tank 85% full. I couldn’t keep the front of the tractor on the ground.
The local co-op was run by low wage idiots.
Unknown to me the hoses were to short when the tool bar was in the ground, First pass the hoses for the shut off valve decoupled and I couldn’t shut off the anhydrous valves. So I pulled the emergency shut off rope, it was rotten and broke. Needless to say I got gassed, big time!!!
I was sick for years with breathing problems, that’s why I suggest that you know your equipment and if at all possible since you have little or NO experience with anhydrous I suggest you consider custom application.
I’m not trying to be critical, just cautious; I don’t want anyone to go through the years of health problems that I have suffered from because of rented junk anhydrous equipment.

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
