ok....i have just been out there trying to find the same thing. i ended up with the kioti dh45 se hst....but it wasn't the smallest cab tractor, just the best equipped for the dollar that i could find. Kubota had the SMALLEST with FACTORY CAB HEAT AND AIR....but it was one of the most expensive. There are alot of makes out there that had smaller cab tractors, but had heat only. I wish that there were more makes in the 30-35 HP range with factory cab and air, but maybe there wouldn't be enough HP to do anything with after you take into account the HST, Power steering and a/c,,,,not sure. What really erked me was the fact that every brand needed EXTRAS....cept the Kioti. None of the other cabs included rear lights, rear wipers , rear hydraulic ports or a radio. they added A LOT (TYM did offer 1 rear port...my mistake). Kioti included ALL these in the price plus $450 for additional rear port. If it was only a few dollars difference i wouldn't of minded, but i saved over $10,000 over what John Deere bid me, and over $7,000 what Kubota offered me. I was kinda skeptical about the Kioti brand, but after doing about 1 months of online research, i really haven't found ANYTHING really bad about peoples experiences with the Kioti brand. Sure, some will say....how about service work, and parts. well my local sales company has been selling them for 5 years, and a second dealer has opened even closer. And besides, i can fix nearly anything in a pinch...been doing that out here for 16 years.
My Kubota has 39 HP and came with heat and air in the factory cab. It also has heated back glass and work lights front and back in addition to turn sigs, brake and tail lights and headlights AND 3 way interior light. No horn and no cup holder.
