A/C would put a pretty good draw on a 25HP motor. The heat can be relatively free though.

So far I have not seen power loss due to having the a/c on that has adversely effected anything I have done. Being away from dust and bugs is great. I realize a/c is not the most efficient in a cab with all that glass but it works and as we age creature comfort is nice

Just noticed pics of new BX factory cab model in Muhammad's thread about Kub Dealer Meeting.

I agree with positive comments about the B2650 with cab. Wear your sunscreen and sun protection but the cab is also helpful for blocking a good deal of the UVB rays from the sun.

The eMax25 does come in a hard cab version. I looked at them when shopping recently. They do not come standard with heat, but it can be had as an option. There is no AC option available, at least not from the factory ... or so I was told by my local dealer.

I stand corrected....is it new? I'e seen the soft-sided cab in person, looks like it will do the basic job well. Haven't seen the hard sided version yet.

The bolt-on cabs are nice and when heat is plumed in they are good enough in the winter for sure. But they are loud all the time and dusty when mowing. An integrated cab is the way to go! They're like sitting in your new pickup. They are bolted to the frame, very quiet inside, air conditioned and virtually dust free.

Gulf,
I have a soft sided cab from "Original Tractor Cab " company and it is awesome!! I only use it in the Winter. I have a rear mount 3Pt snowblower so a cab is essential.
I can install it in about 1 hour, that includes hooking up the lights, wiper, strobes and backup camera.
I have found that I do not need heat in the cab ( and I am a weather wimp!) being out of the wind makes alll the difference.
I think I paid $1000 for it with the glass windshield and wiper.
I have too many obstacles to have a cabbed tractor for mowing the lawn!
Drop me a PM if you need pics or other info-I'm about 30 miles south of Boston if you want to see it in person!.

Cheers,
BN

I previously had a cub cadet 5254 with a soft side cab. It was great for blowing snow and I didn't find I needed heat. Just a light jacket as the machine radiated some heat. The real benefit was blocking the wind.


Now that OTC makes a cab for the kubota b2601, I will buying one

My cab is home made and the door is actually one whole side tat is hinged and removable.
I made the roof insulated primarily to prevent noise but works well for heat.
I hinged the rear for summer usage but in fact I have never opened it yet.
For summer I remove the door and have installed 2 ea 4" computer type muffin fans to move the air around.
Those fans are so effective that they actually also keep the biteing bugs out as a bonus.

So while not air conditioned it works for me.
The main build was for snow blowing hence it is heated.

Exactly what I was looking for. I think I am narrowed down to the BX2370. Dealer just told me about that model cab, but did not have one to show me. I will PM you. Thanks.
