Buying Advice How does cab with AC hold up on a ccompact Kubota? Hot, dusty area

FYI, with a high quality ceramic tint, the tint does not have to be dark to be effective. Good luck.

How does it impact visibility?

zero........

At night????

I would think the entire back window and majority of each side windows is tinted, along with just the upper most front window. Allows good visibility even at night.
But in three years, just never used my tractor at night.

Ceramic tint does not need to be dark to work. That's the beauty of ceramic tint.

Have you cleaned the filters on your tractors AC unit. If not, then that could be the reason for low cooling. Alternately it may be a bit low on freon. My LS tractor is a 2010 model and it still cools great.

I'm on the other end of the temperature spectrum here, and I just got my first cab tractor this year - used 2017 JD 3039R. Back around July 4th we had a really hot and humid run and I mowed all day in 90 degree humid weather, which is as miserable as it gets here - and as anyone here can tell you - it was miserable this summer. The tractor cooled fine in that weather with a very hot sun, but I wouldn't call it freezing cold in the cab. it was very comfortable and I didn't sweat at all during this time. What I can add as a cab owner - I find that I need AC any time the weather is sunny and 70 degrees, though I am very much looking forward to having heat in the sub-32 degree winter weather. I'm glad I waited for the right used tractor and didn't cave in and consider an aftermarket cab tractor without AC, because in my opinion a cab tractor without AC is a greenhouse.

I used mine in some pretty hot and very humid weather this week here in the South. Not having to suck up all the dust created by the bushhog was a HUGE plus and being cool was very nice. I had to work outside the tractor cutting with the saw for the most part on one day and it was miserable. Next time, when it's this hot, I'll hire someone to do the cutting and just drive the tractor.

It was only partially sunny that day and the AC on it's coldest setting would run you out of there. Had a similar experience cutting grass with it last weekend on a sunny day. Hopefully it keeps up that performance over time.
