For those of you who have a cab on your tractor, how well does your air conditioner work? Please say which make/model you own.

I'm close to buying a cab tractor, and I've tried a few that seem to have weak air conditioning. These have been new tractors, not used ones.

It makes me wonder whether the a/c will keep up in real world conditions in the hot Texas summers we have. I understand that if it's 110 degrees outside, the a/c isn't going to keep it 65 degrees in the cab. But a couple I tried made me doubt whether they would keep up if it was 95 degrees outside, and that would be a real problem.

I grew up on a farm and worked on the farm all year after school and all day every day during the summer. One summer I worked for another farmer who had a cab tractor, but the a/c didn't work. NOTHING is more miserable than a cab with no a/c.

MF 1635 , 540 hours, still nice and cool in the cab!!

We get murdered with humidity up here, so the AC gets a work out!!

I have a Mahindra 5010HST Cab our weather here in Arizona is hot as you get over there in Texas. The A/C works good a big help will be to get the windows tinted if you go with a Cab model. Good luck. :thumbsup:

MF 1600 series. A/C on max blowing on your head will give you a brain freeze.

Been in the cab with 33°c outside temp and be freezing in the cab.

L5740 works like a charm so far.

B3030 HSDCC bought new in 2007. Approx. 685 hours on it. It can be over 90 degrees F out and I have the AC on medium. No need to put it on high or it gets too cold for me. And in the winter the heat works just as well too.

If not for the AC in our L5740 and M8540, I couldn't use a tractor, keeps me comfortable, but you have to keep the filters clean.:eek:

Kubota L3540. So far this summer no problems. Stays cool and don't have to put it on high. I try to park it in the shade so its not so hot before I start. Those glass windows are like a greenhouse without a/c.
