Well I had my B3030 cab model for almost two years and as far as keeping the dust out of the inside of the cab it's a crappy design.
I used it quite a bit this summer and last for dirt work, grading etc. If I'm working in dusty conditions the whole inside of the cab is covered with fine dirt and silt all the while the A/C is blowing the dust around inside the enclosed cab. I could get inside the cab for two hours working in the dirt and never get out of the cab once and my once clean pants are all dusty where if you slap your leg a cloud of dust comes off. Very unhealthily to breath this silt for hours at a time in the small enclosed cab without fresh air.
I replaced the air filter in the back 3 times since I bought the tractor, check for leaks many times all around the roof etc.
The only thing I could think of is the engine fan is blowing the dust thru the holes in the firewall, pedal opening etc. into the cab, I know for a fact if you take the dash cowl off it's all dust and dirt behind there.
I have been thinking of reversing the fan blade so instead of blowing the air across the motor into the cab it would blow the air thru the front grill.
Since the fan is off-set it looks like I would have to cut down the aluminum spacer and turn the blade around so it won't hit the radiator.
The BX models exhaust the air out the front. Why can't the B3030. I would buy another spacer to cut down just in case it would run too hot and I would have to turn it back around.
The temp gauge always runs just above the cold mark so there is room for it to run a little hotter.
Does anybody have any thoughts on this.
