Winter Cab

[fairmgr]

Bercomac makes a simple and low cost winter cab that will fit the Kubota BX24 with some minor mods. I got the 40" from my local dealer and within about an hour of mods and it was on and I was warm (relative) dry and happy.
The cab is simple and well made.
I raised the back so the lights could be seen and modified the front attachments so it would work on the Kubota and not get messed up in the frame and lift kit.
I will cut down the front tubes to get the doors to fit better, but it is great for now.
I would suggest that they create a pocket for a SMV emblem on the back.
Also I used Gaffers tape to close the screen at the top of the cover as I wasn't getting fumes but a fine dusting of snow blew back. It is not air tight so I am not worried.

I too blew snow for many years without a cab and then finally a cab that wasn't air tight but it was a luxury to be out of the wind and blowing snow.Finally this year newer tractor so better cab even with heat.Been blowing a bit this winter in windy and cold conditions like -20c and it sure is a treat to beable to sit in comfort.Larry

Got a B3030 HSDCC in Feb. 2009 and never had to use it to blow snow the rest of the winter.
This year however, I've been out with it several times. I have to admit that I like the fact that I can literally do snow removal in a T-shirt if I want. The heat works that good. In fact the fan has never been on anything other than the "low" selection. Sure beats the bushels of snow I ate and fogged up goggles & glasses I had when moving snow with the JD790 that I used to have.

Cab looks great. I see they have a local dealer. I think I'll drop by next week for a closer look. Even though I have yet to need my blower this year. It's been an easy winter so far.

Can you define "low cost" for us?

I had a plastic cab with plastic windows and used it for many years. The main problem is that the snow would stick to the plastic once it got warm inside and I would have to get out and give the plastic a swipe with my hand occasionally. It was loud and I had to dress warmer than today. It would get buffeted in high winds, but it was much better than the alternative.
