So I did a thing today- 2032r; 54 Snowblower and Tektite cab ordered

[KenLysons]

I had a wonderful little Massey GC2400 with a snowblower and cab, used it all winter and just loved it.
Trouble is I also have a very low hour 2014 JD 2032r, with front end loader, 655 tiller, 65" MM mower, wood chipper and weight box.
The massey is really a single use unit.
I tried for a few months to sell one or the other, and the Massey went first.

I bought a nearly showroom mint 54" blower today, and should have the cab in a month. I am seriously looking forward to the install.
I ordered it bare as possible, opted for the JD green paint on the roof, and heater. The only other thing it comes with is a windshield washer.

I will add working lights, backup and interior lights, amber strobe and clearance lights.

I also bought a 78" 3 pt hitch blade today, it is quite heavy, maybe too heavy and big for the little JD, but I will try it for sure.

I am looking at adding a hydraulic diverter/multiplier so I can pivot the rear blade, the other 2 are used already for lifting and snow chute deflection.

If anyone has added one, please let me know how you made out, what you used.

If there is any interest I will add pics when the cab gets here.

Wiper. It camer with a wiper, not washer.

Great looking cab. Will be nice to have such a rig in Paradise Valley come winter and maybe some snow.

Who made the cab? Have to remove the ROPS? Extra hyd. hose laying over the hood or are we seeing something else there?

Come snow time, put some pics in the Snow Weapon thread.

It's a Tektite Cab as noted in the thread title, and it seems their cab is an ROPS cab.

Nice set up, if you have not removed snow in a heated cab with a front mounted snowblower with in the cab chute rotation/deflector controls, then you will be in for a real treat this winter.

edit: sorry I missed your first post, must of read it a while ago.

THe cab is just bolted on, heater hose and electrical are just laying on the hood until I get them hooked up.

ROPS comes off, the cab is rated for it.

I had a little massey with chute rotation, but not deflection. Getting out for a stretch is not a bad thing just to change the deflection.

I also have a heavy rear blade, and am trying to figure out a way to change deflection, but the 2032r only has 2 hydraulic circuits.

Adding a splitter is too **** expensive.

How much to add the splitter?

Sounds like the cab might be one that could be convertible between seasons.. if a lift could be fabbed.

Prolly more than a half-hour job.. tks for the info.

 

[KenLysons]

If John Deere does it likely 1200-1500

I don't know enough about hydraulics to do it myself.

There is no bolt on kit that is reasonably priced.

Not really, the heater hose would be a problem and all the wiring

Those could be made quick-connect.
Is the cab a single unit, and lowered into place.. or assembled piece by piece to install?


Poke around on the sites that discuss add-on grapples that need auxiliary hydraulics and have the splitters with the electronics in a package.

Also, I've been looking at a hydraulic valve (Solenoid Operated Double Selector Valve 9-8602 Surplus Center) to fit on my 4300 so I can switch the 3rd SCV control from the hyd. top arm to my forks' thumb. Now have to re-connect the hoses manually when switching from one to the other.

When I bought my 5310 and FEL I bought a Long 4 in 1 bucket and it was installed with a double selector solenoid valve. I later bought a grapple and had them change the hydraulics to live. But the solenoid valve setup worked really well. It's a good, inexpensive way to get and additional function. I just bought a new 5090E and had the 3rd SCV added. It was $600 installed.

All done. Even added a bunch of lights, 3d printed a compartment to hold the sirius, aux lighter and my phone. Turned out very well.
