Femco weatherbrake

NH-Rob · Oct 23, 2009

I am searching for information on a femco weatherbrake. I would like one for my b3200 but when I contacted femco they told me they make them for b7410,b7510, b7610, b7800, & b2630. I would think the one for the b7800 would fit and am just looking input from the group.
Thanks,
Rob

Actually, I think that you will find that the B2630 is much closer in style, and shape to your tractor.

Chuck,
I think you are right I will contact femco again and find out where I can buy one and how much. If it cost around what I think they do I will give it a try.
Thanks,
Rob

You might try Original Cab Co. too. They may have a hard top soft side cab that will fit, and they come off easily in the spring. I think they cost about $750 without options. People that have them like them, and I think they are a pretty good deal. I've been meaning to check them out myself for my B.

Edit: I did drop them an email to see what they might have.

Chuck,
I would be interested to hear what you find out. If I can just stay out of the wind and stay dry plowing would be much better but I need a cab that can be removed easy for summer mowing. I wish they made one like my jeep top, just a few bolts and two latches and off it comes.

The original cab has a hard top that you can mount lights to, but the rest is fabric. I doubt that they are ROPS certified, but I know you aren't looking for that. My brother has one on his lawn mower (JD 100 series), and he loves it when snowblowing, and I know that they make them for the JD 2000 series, and the Kubota BX, but I didn't see them listed for the B's which surprised me since there are many more of them sold than JD's of that size. I'm with you on wanting it off in the summer.

I contacted Femco about getting a weatherbrake for my BX2360 and was told it's not avalable so I asked how is it not avalable when you have it pictured on a new style BX on your website. they replied they have one for a BX2350. I said ok that will fit the BX2360. They replied that it would be nonreturnable becouse I might have to make alterations on it to fit my tractor. 449.00 plus 40.00 shipping for a nonreturnable product. I don't think so. Still looking for one for the BX but not much luck. I don't want a cab style.

Ouch! that is about $200 more than I thought they cost. If that is the case I will have to look into other options.

I have the Original Tractor Cab on my 455 and it was worth every penny I paid for it. It fits well, keeps the snow out and comes off easy in the spring. I bought mine on EBAY from The Green Dealer and they were $100 cheaper than anyone else. I am sure he can get the ones for a Kubota too.
