I mentioned in another post the other day that I had seen a grand L with the Kubota Cab successfully equipped with a woods 9000 backhoe. Until then I think we all believed a cab and backhoe were incompatible.
Today a saw another Grand L (I think it was a 3010) with a Curtis soft side cab, so I checked it out. The cab sits forward of the ROPS bar, mounts to the fenders but NOT to the strip between the fenders where the tool box resides, and the rear curtin is a snap on/off curtin. There's no doubt in my mind that this cab would work with any backhoe with the rear curtin removed. It might even work with the curtin in place depending on the exact position of the BH seat. It looks like another option exists. Now if only the curtis cab had the interior finish level of the kubota and AC .......
