Does anybody know if they make a enclosed cab for the kubota bx24?
Im talking about a glass enclosed cab with heat and other additional options.
and the possible price of the cab.
any help would be great im looking into buying a kubota next year.
THANX

Curtis makes cabs for the BX, just not the TLB version. This is because of the way you the backhoe. You probably won't have a good time trying to use it. I would go for a b21 and get a cab for that....

I second that. For landscaping, the B21 is twice the machine of a BX24 anyway. The BX24 is easier to swap inplements on and is much cheaper new, but even though the BX24 has more hp, the B21 is much bigger, heavier, stronger and more durable for commercial use.

You wouldnt happen to know the ball park price of the b21 would you?
I know that the bx24 is aroung 14900 brand new. I really dont want to spend over 20000 on a tractor.
The real reason i want the enclsed cab is heat for the winter i want to put a blade on it so that i can plow some snow.

it is very easy to put a cab on a bx24...Put a standard rops bar on it from a bx2230....curtis cab for a 2230 now fits...You have to take the cab off to use the back hoe but i oly use mine for plowing snow. then i take it off in the summer..................

Curtis cabs are cheap, I don't care for them at all. Heaters don't heat real well in them..
http://jodaleperry.com/ makes nice aftermarket cabs, not sure if they got one for a BX
http://www.laurin-inc.com/ they make them too.

no one makes a cab for a bx24 like i said earlier the roll over bar just wont work..put a rops bar from a bx 2230..and then you can use all of the cabs that fit the 2230 on a bx24..You will not be able to use the backhoe with the cab on it................

Kubota factory cabs start on the B3030 (picture left) and go up through the l & m series.

Have you looked at the John Deere cabs. I saw a factory test btween them and the Kubota Grand King cab. They hooked a fog machine on each of the machines tested which machice filled up with fog. The Kubota was full of fog and the Deere was clear. That might not seem like much but if you every have to spray pesticides or a situation where you want an air tight cab the Deere would be the clear choice. The Deere cab has a 15000 BTU Air Conditioner it. That is enough to cool a good sized room in your house. Also they did a noise test. The Deere was much quieter inside than the Kubota. One last thing that was shown was the Deere cab has 360 degree visability. Try one out you will be impressed.

Kubota cabs (factory) have always been high quality, however, the next generation is coming out very soon and its even nicer! My heat & ac are so strong they never go above the low setting, the glass is cat quality, the seal is very tight,great venting,the defrost has ducts for the mirrors and its quiet. so quiet you can really enjoy the stereo. The next generation cabs must be like a caddy.

You are wrong my friend, there is no factory cab in the bx line, check kubotas website for yourself.
