I'll throw my two cents in, since I was pricing cabs for my
B2400 before I bought my
B3030. Actually pricing aftermarket cabs IS what made me buy my 3030.
Buying a new 30ish horse B series and then adding an aftermarket cab makes no sense to me. Literally EVERYTHING is an option with the aftermarket cabs. The bare bones price of say, three thousand gets you nothing. No heater, no front work lights, no headliner..... heck, the wiper is probably an add-on you pay for. By the time you add what I think are nessecities, you are priced comparatively to the Kubota factory cab WITH A/C. But just for a minute..... lets leave the A/C out of it. The factory cab was designed and built for the 3030........ not the 3030 plus twenty five other tractors. It doesn't have to fit in front of the ROPS, it IS the ROPS.... making it much roomier than an aftermarket cab. It is mostly glass, and the doors are all glass, giving it excellent visibility. Everything is well laid out, there is no heater box to smack your knee on getting in and out. It is sealed well to keep out dust, drafts,etc. Its quiet..... not Toyota Avalon quiet, but quiet for a tractor. And the factory cab will always hold value...... because these features will be just as desireable to the next owner. If you have an aftermarket cab, you will be lucky to get a few hundred extra dollars for it come trade-in or re-sale time. Its just plain money better spent on the factory cab.
Now..... I'm not trying to bag on aftermarket cabs. I won't own another tractor without a cab in my climate. I certainly commend anyone who puts a cab on their tractor..... especially if you get the snow we get (or more). But...... if you are thinking about buying a NEW
B3200 with a Curtis cab over a B3030HSDC to save a thousand dollars, I think you'd be out of your mind. Especially when you factor in the 3030's deluxe features.
