BX2350/24 Laurin Cab

[m1lkman]

Hey guys

I am the proud new owner of a '07 BX2350 with front blower. Now I am looking into a hard cab. Looked at all of them online and find the Jodale_Perry and Laurin the be the closest to factory looking around.

My question is does anyone have a Laurin cab since the model change and if so, can you chime in? Thanks!

I did look for Laurin Cab last fall. There cabs are well made but quite expensive, but you have what you pay for. The Eclipse model matches very well a bx2350. For a base model, you will pay $5250 CAD and $6500 CAD for full equip one.
For my set-up, I took a soft Curtis cab and I modify it. I did want to able to remove it during summer. With a Laurin or Jodale Perry forget it to put on and off easily.

Thanks Skippy. I had no idea it was 6 grand without install. That is a bit dear if I only use it for snowblowing!! I think that blows my budget for sure.

Thanks!

P.S. I was kinda hoping Kubota would offer their own aftermarket cab as they have in the past!

Kubota offers a Jodale Perry cab as OEM here in Canada.

Would that be more expensive than the Laurin? I think I actually like the Jodale/Kubota one the best but am scared to price it.

Thanks for the quick response.

Anyone have some good kubota/Jodale cab pics out there? For some reason I cannot find a link off the kubota website.

Thanks

Hmmm, Looking at those first 2 photos, seems like it wouldn't be possible to operate the bh with that hard cab on. I presume there is no rear panel that just opens up? Taking that hard cab on and off for winter and summer work seems like it would be quite a task and require a sizeable hoist suspended from a substantial beam at a considerable height.

Went I had looked in June for a cab, the OEM (Jodale) was $6500 CAD not installs and a Laurin was $5700. Install such cab involve few modifications to the BX.
Actually, those cabs are permanent mount like the B3030HSTC, but worth it especially during snowstorms. By the way, none of them comes with ac at those prises.
If you want to have a set-up on/off, maybe you should go with a soft cab like Curtis or Simms. Those two are quite simpler to take on and off.
One thing to remember with cabs like Laurin you change the center of gravity very much, and yes you may operate the BH by opening the rear section of the cab.
Here are some pics of my set-up for under $3500CAD and few hours. It is removable in 3 hours works great.

Nice setup Skippy!

So when you say removeable, you mean the soft doors and you leave the rest on right? The reason I liked the Jodale was that there was a member on here with a rear steering front mount mower/blower who had one that just came on and off in one piece. Thought it would be kinda nice.

Did you get the heater for yours?

M1,

I have a Sims Cab on my BX2200 that I take off in the spring and put back on in the fall. Here is a link on how I do it.

Thanks a bunch Tom. Looks well made too. Man...Hard decisions! lol

But what you do is pretty much what I would like to do as well. I want the cab for winter but no cab for summer.

Thanks again!
