I picked up a kerosene battery pump on e-bay for $8 to transfer fuel from the 5 gallon container to the Kubota. Sims design is not much better. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif I put the fuel container on a garbage can since the pump does not lift that well.

I have been told that a cab is not available from Curtis Cab for the BX23. This was in the summer. Maybe one available now. Sims has no cab available also.

I have seen the Curtis soft side cab mounted on a BX22 this past fall, but it was late in the day and I wasn't able to look it over closely because it was getting dark. The owner said that it fit well and he had no problems using the backhoe. He also commented that if he were taller, it might make it a problem for him. From what I remember, the cab was about an inch lower than the hight of the ROPS. I am going to look at one on a BX2230 this afternoon and will take pictures.

Matt,
I don't want to hijack this thread but would like some more info on your "loader mount blade." Is there additional info posted in another thread. Thanks, Jerry

Junk I would be very interested in seeing those pictures once you get them.

I was under the impression that a new cabed tractor was in your future? I guess your still kicking it around.

I did go look at what I think was the Kubota model 3030? with cab(on Line). That is going to be one hot selling tractor. I could see how you may be drawn to it. Any way I was not able to tell if it had Air also? I get the feeling you may know the answer.

I see this model setting a whole new trend in the CUT market

The new 3030HSTC does come with air and it is still in consideration. I am going to keep the BX22 for other things such as snow blowing. I wouldn't want to expose the 3030 to the harsh winters of New England. It would be more of a summer time tractor living a life of luxury in some warm climate during the winter. You might call it a snow bird tractor... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Bob: Sorry for stealing your pictures. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

They are very good and are part of my decision process between the Curtis and Sim's cab. Have you posted some pics of the rear of the cab before? Could you link to them or maybe repost them here? I would be very interested in any or all of the pictures you have. If you would go to my web-page, my e-mail link is there. Thank you very much!!

Maybe it isn't just the new Kubota tractor setting trends. This whole snowbird tractor idea may even top that. :`o Let me see another tractor just for fair weather... I wonder how the wife will take that??? /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
