I`ve been running a Tactacam Revel SK now for 3 full years, it never runs dead. Time to invest in a water tight tool box for the tractor by the look of things. Sad for your mishap.
Humble pie Gord. That’s why I like your channel. We all make mistake but you’ve always been willing to share so all of us can learn. Stay warm and be safe.
Sorry about your glass, I feel your pain. At 5:48 I heard you say "W, Y, Zed, E" and it immediately took me back to French class. I Googled it and learned Zed is used in English too, apparently everywhere except the US where we say Zee. Interesting.
I'm in the process of purchasing a Kabota RTV-X1100C and plan on enrolling into the KTAC program Kabota offers that covers everything even glass. If you have this plan you may be covered if it was available when you purchased your Kabota.
Man that sucks about the window. Thanks for sharing this as I too have an LX cab with stuff stored behind the seat. You may have saved me or others a similar fate. Thanks for the video
Sad to see your problem. Just got through watching Sawing with Sandy tear the valve stem out of his wheel - and now this!! Smirnoff Ice. Just what you need!
Gordon my brother has a 2801 or something like that. He was brush hoging the ditch at the county road and rge property. The grass was about 3 ft. Tall. He was doing just fine until he came to his driveway. Being at a slight angle and the front end leveling out boom. His complete back window exploded. He had it open for some fresh air. Over $600 luckily he was under warranty so it cost him $150 deductible. He is still finding pieces of glass in the cab. That was about 3 years ago. It happens my friend. Take care.
Sorry to hear about the glass breakage on your Kubota cab. Hopefully, the replacement glass will be available soon and the installation of it will be very easy. Good luck.
Thx for the update. I bought Reolink cameras, maybe 2 years ago based on your suggestions… they are great … -30C today north of Montreal… no problem. My solar panels are not well oriented but the camera remains charged nevertheless. Good luck with the tractor . . There are worse things that can happen
Bummer on the glass. One of my fears with my LX! Mine is still working great after buying in 2021 mostly from watching your vids! I swore off Wyze when they abandoned their first gen products after known design flaws slowly killed all of mine. Love the Smirnoff Ice cardboard! lol lol lol 😂 You don’t happen to have KTAC insurance on the tractor do you? That would be a free repair… but I’m guessing you don’t. KTAC is amazing. I kept a 0% loan on my LX just to have it. I can’t find any insurance that touches it. Covers more and covers it off my property unlike most. Nobody I’ve talked to has ever had a denial. Dealer says a local guy rolled his tractor the first week he had it. KTAC fixed it. Cheers!
Good morning - insurance is a must have for me too - I don't have the KTAC - I have it insured through a broker. But yes, I hear the KTAC is a great offering as well. Cheers!
Dang the bad luck GP !! I hate it when stuff like that happens. But no matter, I'm sure you'll get it resolved quickly...especially in the neighbors heated garage. Sure is cold down here...4*F (-15C). Good luck with all your endeavors my friend.
Mike ,from out doors with the morgans was trailering his and found out the hard way that if the doors are not secured tight they will break. now we also know to secure all the junk behind the seat. good info.
Oh no, Gord! I am afraid for you; or more specifically, your upcoming parts invoice. I had a similar (but MUCH cheaper) glass breakage last week, so I can relate to the instant sense of dread/frustration/anger/embarrassment that accompanies that sound of shattering glass! Still, look forward to the repair video. Be well, my friend
Sorry about your rear window and I think you’re right about that hook breaking the glass. All 4 of my Reolink cameras have died in the past few weeks with dead batteries. I guess I will have to take them down and bring them inside to warm up.
Good morning Andrew. Are they tied to solar panels, and if so, are they facing south? All seven of mine always have enough daylight to keep them powered. Thanks for the info and hope you folks are doing well - supposed to be super cold this week. Cheers!
@ Gord yes all equipped with solar panels. 1 facing SE and 3 facing SW. not able to get S exposure as you know my house is N and S and I want to look E and W. Cameras were fine until cold weather set in then I could see batteries dropping slowly. What about some heavy plastic and duct tape on the outside to temporarily fix your window. I’m removing anything heavy from behind the seat in my tractor this morning. Would be nice of you to film repair. Thanks,
Hi Gord, really enjoy your channel. Like you I’m retired and spending a lot of time at our cottage year round. I am located approximately four hrs North of you. I have Blink cameras setup all around our property, they have been super reliable, motion activated, battery last well over a year, synced to phone, started with cloud storage trial but once over I have photos or videos backed up to a USB stick plugged into the camera sync module. On sale you can get single or three, four packs at a great price. Keep up the tinkering, love watching the simple aspects of doing what you are doing, pretty much same lifestyle here. Cheers Mark
OUCH!!!! That is one of the reasons I got an open station tractor...plus cost ...plus I am on and off hundreds of times a day filming and working...a warm cab for sure would be nice though!!!
Just a thought. Could you get a piece of lexan cut to replace the window. It is very flexable and clear like glass. I have used it to replace a window on an ATV and it took the wind at higher speeds than a tractor goes. I bet you could get a piece for less than $100. Just a thought. Good luck.
GP sorry to see the glass broken. One of my biggest fears when I got my cab. I put everything in a tool bag behind my seat for that reason. I never move the tractor with the doors open etc., I made me some rules when I got the cab. Good luck on the replacement and hope it goes smooth. Have a good week.
I feel your pain on the breaking of the back window on the tractor 🚜 I have broken my rear window twice! Such a pain. Stay warm and keep your stick on the ice 🧊
It’s not apparent to me that glass that low behind the seat is useful. Rather than replace the glass, would you consider installing a durable solid piece of material? Storage behind the seat seems to be helpful, just remove the risk of broken glass. This is a great opportunity to make that Kubota better and more useful to you.
I did the same thing on my 2650 used a piece of flashing fit just right then taped it in with gorilla tape. Not easy taking off the glass on the edges. Good luck
Sorry to see that. Reminds me of a few years ago during my first winter with my B2650 I blew out the front windshield, $1200 repair. What I think happened is that I had been blowing a lot of we snow around the yard and it covered over the holes in the cab. when I put it away in the garage and closed the door on the tractor the pressure had nowhere to go and blew out the front glass. I always keep the rear window unlatched now. Sucks to learn the hard way for sure.
Good Morning GP 😇🖐Ho man, i feel the pain for you 😢 Very Nice Cameras 🧐👍Nice Review about your generator ( fireman )👍🧐👌Be Well GP and Life Is Good 😇👍and Keep Warm Cheers 😇👌🍻
Hopefully the glass replacement goes smoothly for you Gord. My grandfather had a Case IH tractor where they had to replace the driver side window glass twice because the entire glass in it shattered. Just by closing the door normally. I sometimes wonder if the glass is affected by temperature because I believe both times it broke was in the winter.
My game cameras that I've for several years last almost a year on 8 Energizer lithium taking 2 pictures and a 30 second video. I have them mounted in the back 40 at home so I can monitor if there are any wolves or coyotes around since we have 2 dogs. Can't get the cameras anymore so I appreciate the update on the garde pro
Good luck with the glass, I wouldn't recommend using tape to try to hold it in. You would be better using a ratchet strap and something under the strap to spread out the pressure against the glass. Even pressure is your friend ! And don't go crazy with to much pressure it only takes a few pounds spread out evenly.
I would love to see the replacement in case or for when it happens to myself. It is nice to watch others struggle through it so I don't feel so stupid when I have to struggle through it.
Sorry about your glass. Thanks for sharing about your camera's, im looking to change mine and was looking for a brand worth trying. God Bless keep safe
Sad your glass broke. I have seen a couple other videos of people having the glass doors break also. Wish I had a cab at times but then again I don't have glass to worry about. Good luck with the repair.
Hi Gord, Ouch sorry about your bad luck with the tractor. I use the same space as a catch all in my tractor...might have to re think that now. Great update on all the equipment. After watching your review on the reolink argus I purchased the same set up and am now on year 3 with no issues at all. Very pleased with how it performs. Anyway hope the repair goes well :)
Ohhh man, sorry to hear about that bottom glass Gord, I went to open the doors on my Kioti and BOTH of them were frozen at the bottom…they flexed like mad and I told myself it’s not worth pulling any harder. So I let them sit for a day. Those (I believe) are about $1100 to replace. Haha I’ll shovel before I horse on a full glass door to open it. 🤣
A shame about the glass but a valuable lesson for all with a cab. I have to say I'm impressed with my Gardepro as well. The lithium battery pack and solar panel has been great. The camera is always showing 100% even at the -30°C today. No moose to report but deer, coyote, rabbits, squirrels, and the neighbours dogs coming to visit. Great camera with clear pictures. Sound isn't great though. Has some kind of electric noise interference it seems. Stay warm!
Gord I live in Florida and this Friday will be about 24 F. Now about the Generator . I have been hit with a few Hurricanes but never invested in any Gen. Then I was hit with Irma . I knew it was time to invest in a Generator so I did my research. To be honest if most people would do their own research they would not be mad about what they buy. I knew because of Irma The cost of a Generator would be way to high so I waited till there was no threat of any power outage anywhere in the U.S. While waiting I did my research. Now what I am about to tell you will blow your mind and I'm sure a lot of others. I decided to buy a Weston House 10,000 Watt Gen with a 6 1/2 gallon gas tank . This Gen is remote start push button start and pull start. Now I have been hit with just recently 2 other Hurricanes and I used this Gen. On a full tank of gas it rant over 18 hours. Running everything in my house. A/C 2 refrigerator's Microwave lights Computer Stove and what ever I wanted to use that needed power. I paid less the 1000 for this new and for an extra few hundred I could have bought a duel Gen that ran on gas or Propane. This is why people need to do their own research. The Duel Gen was worse. A propane tank that you use for like a gas grill is about 24 dollars and that will run the Gen 4 hours 6 if you are real lucky. But the gas part of the Duel Gen only runs 12 hours on a full tank of gas. The Gen I have I ran for about 9 days and I did not use any oil. Truth is I never had to add any oil and it is still showing it is full. This Gen is over 10 years old and it runs like I just bought it last week. Here is the trick you need to have the mind set of it is better to have it and not need it then to need it and not have it. Do I need 10,000 watts? NO!!! but because I have it when I am running it the Gen is not working hard meaning it will last longer.
Morning Dane - thanks for the great info - I have not heard of that generator make but will look into sometime. And yes, very smart - my solar guy says the same thing - you need a larger generator than the load so it is not always running hard. Thanks again !
Don't feel bad. I have a Tektite cab on my B2620 and I forgot I had one of the wing windows open and ran it into a large tree branch. a couple of weeks later I had both of the glass doors leaning up against my fence beside the garage. Got up one morning and found that a wind gust had blown them both over and smashed them both. That cost me $2,000.00 after shipping to get new ones. Needless to say the doors are now stored in the shed when not on the tractor. I feel you pain. At least it's a small window that you don't have to replace right away. Cheers: BJ in Ottawa
I recently broke one of the wing doors on my Tektite cab as well. Currently just replaced with cardboard. Did you get the replacement from Tektite? They quoted me about $500 to replace.
@@randyteal3420 Yes I got all the windows from Tektite. If I only need the wing window I would have used the one from the opposite side as a template to make new one out of plexiglass or other suitable plastic. They are just a flat piece of glass. Since I also need both glass doors I ordered every thing from Tektite. The wing window price sounds about right but I will check back and let you know.
@ Hi Randy. I checked back and the quote for just the wing window was $305.00. The seal was $56.00 and the shipping was about $100.00. Plus 13%HST of course. Depending on the model of you cab the window price may differ a bit.
Appreciate you providing us with 4k @60fps, some creators are still uploading at 1080p! Regarding reolink, I've got four at my place. All 4K versions $200 a pop. Anyways, regarding your review of those cameras, maybe you haven't noticed but none of mine charge when it's below 2°. I confronted real link regarding this and their explanation was it has to do with battery chemistry. Cheers from Aylmer ONT
Good vid. I own same Kubota LX2610 w/ cab. I will learn from you and ensure I wrap my heavy items in a rag that bounce behind my seat. Would be interested to know the replacement cost for that small area. Best of luck and thanks again for sharing.
Gord, I am sorry to hear about the broken glass. I hope the replacement cost is not too excessive, and easily available. Maybe there could be a video doing the repair yourself!
I guess the optimistic thought is that now you have easy access to stuff behind the seat! Sorry about the glass and good luck with the replacement. Not sure if you have insurance on that machine, but that would be worth the $250 deductible.
That’s a bummer. Not as bad as you think though. I broke the same piece of glass on my b2650. Glass was around 150$ plus a tube of window sealant. Hardest part is removing the remainder of the glass.
I could be wrong, but upon a cursory parts lookup, the lower rear window for an LX2610HSDC is only around $127 U.S. Certainly not peanuts, but definitely less expensive than I expected. For reference, I snapped a plow marker when I was plowing in around 0°F on Monday. I was shocked to find that dealers wanted ~$150 for a new set. Ultimately, I found a new set for ~$60 that claims to be nearly indestructible and went with those. Hopefully, you dodged a financial bullet with this mishap.
If you are gonna play, you're gonna PAY!!!! LOL It happens to all of us. If someone in Canada recommends a piece of equipment, it's all good in my book. Thanks, GP.
Gord, what are you doing up there in the woods? You’re sending “FRIGID” air down here to southern Florida! It was a brisk 16°C this morning on the beach! Nice comparison of the cameras! And good luck with your window replacement when the time comes! As ever your friend! 👏
Is the glass there for hitching up purposes ? Only ? Might you leave it protected by the cardboard after the new glass installation? If that's the worst that happens in 2025 you are doing fantastic. Best wishes all winter long
I broke the big one the first year I had my tractor 1400. And I broke the bottom one a couple years later. The glass was around 250-300. I am glad I had the Kubota insurance. Well worth the money.
Morning Gord. Been there and done that with the broken glass…..twice embarrassingly lol. Both times were my fault. Ugh. Oh well pay up and move on I guess. That’s what we do these days. Pay pay pay.. Cheers!
Oh, WoW Gord, sorry about your rear glass on the tractor. That is a real pain!we have some Wyze cameras, they all work pretty well good. We have also found their customer service to be excellent. Give them a call, I’ll bet they send you a replacement camera pronto! Cheers!
I wonder if it is not the hazard triangle that hit the window, well the mounting bracket. I have seen/heard mine hit it depending on the position of the 3 point hitch. Because of this, I removed mine.
OUCH or OOPS or Shucky Durnit , there goes your coffee money for the month. All though that does happen you'll think about it more when going off road or to the neighbors . It will quit hurting when you throw away the cardboard replacement so the guys up there will quit ribbing you. Glad to finally get a better look at your Moose and yearling. Great work from your security cameras, well most of them anyway. Keep up the good videos and the great things you do around there. Great generator you have too, that's awesome.. Fred and family.
I know how dangerous it is to keep unsecured items in the back of a vehicle (incase of an accident), but I'd never thought about the shelf behind the seat in my Kubota. Something to think about.
I don't remember which Wyze cam you have, we have 15 Wyze cams at our house monitoring the outdoors, goats and chickens. There is a setting called Detections Settings where you can set the detection sensitivity (Close to Far), the image sensitivity (low to high), the Detection Zone (on or off), if the detection zone is set Off then you basically have the whole camera view, if the detection zone is set on, then you have to set the PIR Effective Area to what you want detected. It may be the whole camera area or you can specify just a small area. We have a few areas where we have a lot of activity that we don't need to record, they happen all the time, maybe from wind or of vehicles going by, just things that we don't care to record. Maybe that PIR Effective Area needs to be tweaked. Thanks for sharing your misfortune with the window, I get it when something like that happens, it's just a really bad day. Keep warm!
you just learnt me what not to do put junk in behind my seat lol i just took all me junk out behind the seat lol now im buling a box to put the junk in on the side ov tracktore
All I can say is you have a lot of stuff behind your seat. I have a JD 3039R and there is no room behind my seat. Hopefully you’ll get the new glass in will no problems. Cheers Jeff
I have 8 Reolink camera's with one being the Argus PT solar powered camera. All the other camera's are plugged in for power. I've had the Argus PT for almost 3 years now and I'm having an issues with it connecting. I think the solar panel may be bad and is not providing power to the camera battery. I'll have to take the camera down and see if it charges plugged into power and charges. I also have a Wyze indoor camera and I'm not a fan of their camera's also. But what I really do like from Wyze is their wifi plugs (indoor & outdoor) and light bulbs. These work great all the time. My tractor is in a detached garage with the coolant heater plugged into a Wyze wifi plug that I can turn on from anywhere. I also have some lights in the garage I can turn on. I also have 2 Wyze outdoor wifi plugs that power my heated mats & stairs for my porch.
Hi Gord. Do you have the Kubota insurance? You would be surprised what they cover. My dealer told me that a guy left his door open while backing up and clipped a tree...not once, but twice, and Kubota insurance covered it both times.
That is the reason i cant own a cab tractor. If i would have a cab tractor i would have smashed out the front window for sure already! Gord you need a garage. Makes working on equipment so much better in below 0 temps. I worked in autobody and have replaced my share of windshields. If it's just urethane then you just cut off 90% of the glue and prime it with a special primer, squirt on the urethane then press the window on and tape it in place so it doesn't sag. And to help it cure faster you can squirt the urethane with water to speed up the cure time.
This is the biggest reason that I went with an open ROPS tractor, being that I work mostly in the woods. BUT, I have to admit, watching you working in the snow makes me wish I had a cab tractor. AND, it would help keep the ground hornets off of me in the summertime!
I have the cheap Wyze cameras and they pickup cars 1/4 of a mile away, and every car on our dirt road, I will be getting a Reolink camera Sorry to see the window broken window
Unlucky for sure. I’m a BX 2200 guy. Judging by what you dragged out from underneath and around your seat…kabota still has storage issues. As mentioned already you’re going to have to add a toolbox of some sort. For all the good things that kabota is known for…..storage isn’t one of them. Good luck
For the replacement glass kitty.
Good day and thanks so much Sherpa. This was too kind of you but is greatly appreciated. Wish you and your family all the best. Cheers!
Gord: a toolbox mounted outside the tractor is in your future I think.
Another video!
Thanks for the updates.
I`ve been running a Tactacam Revel SK now for 3 full years, it never runs dead. Time to invest in a water tight tool box for the tractor by the look of things. Sad for your mishap.
That same glass was broken on my tractor… how to replace at the dealership and it was around $1600 so not too too bad
Humble pie Gord. That’s why I like your channel. We all make mistake but you’ve always been willing to share so all of us can learn. Stay warm and be safe.

Sorry to see that glass panel didn’t like the trip on the private road, Gord. Such a bummer. A learning experience for us all. Be safe.
I'm in the process of purchasing a Kabota RTV-X1100C and plan on enrolling into the KTAC program Kabota offers that covers everything even glass. If you have this plan you may be covered if it was available when you purchased your Kabota.

Sad to see your problem. Just got through watching Sawing with Sandy tear the valve stem out of his wheel - and now this!! Smirnoff Ice. Just what you need!
LOL! I will share it with Sandy. Cheers!
To bad about the window Gord. I’m really glad the GardePro camera is working well for you! Take care!
Broken greenhouse glass is always on my mind, especially when using the flail. So far , so good. Be happy just the lower window broke.
Not a big deal. It’s just a window. They manufacture those every day
That’s bad luck buddy hopefully you get it replaced before you have a big storm take care have a great week
Thanks for your videos.
Gordon my brother has a 2801 or something like that. He was brush hoging the ditch at the county road and rge property. The grass was about 3 ft. Tall. He was doing just fine until he came to his driveway. Being at a slight angle and the front end leveling out boom. His complete back window exploded. He had it open for some fresh air. Over $600 luckily he was under warranty so it cost him $150 deductible. He is still finding pieces of glass in the cab. That was about 3 years ago. It happens my friend. Take care.
Sorry to hear about the glass breakage on your Kubota cab. Hopefully, the replacement glass will be available soon and the installation of it will be very easy. Good luck.
GP you will most likely have to put your tractor in a heated building so the glue will cure properly when the new glass is installed
Thanks brian. I am hopeful Ralph will let me use his heated garage for a couple days. Cheers!
Shouldn’t be any glue, just a rubber seal all around
@@SeanONeill13I have a B 2650 it’s the same tractor as Gordon’s LX 2610 that window doesn’t use a rubber mount
One of the reasons I had my windows tinted with light or clear tint was to cut down on the mess if/when I break a window.
So sorry to see your mishap GP. Thanks for taking the time to produce these excellent videos. Take care!
Been there done that! You will find those little shards of glass long after the pain of replacing the panel subsided.
very true, I'm still collecting some from 2 yrs ago
I hope the glass isn’t a huge expense. Things do happen occasionally.
Thx for the update. I bought Reolink cameras, maybe 2 years ago based on your suggestions… they are great … -30C today north of Montreal… no problem.

Well that sucks, I need to reduce the stuff between the seat and window on the B2650. I guess this could be a PSA at your expense.
:)). I have to be honest, I have looked back there a few times and thought I should be moving them. Too many tools . Thanks again Sherpa!
I did the same thing on my 2650 used a piece of flashing fit just right then taped it in with gorilla tape. Not easy taking off the glass on the edges. Good luck

How's she goin'? Sorry to hear about you breaking the glass in the cab. Thanks for the updates too. Take 'er easy!!
Good luck with the glass, I wouldn't recommend using tape to try to hold it in. You would be better using a ratchet strap and something under the strap to spread out the pressure against the glass. Even pressure is your friend ! And don't go crazy with to much pressure it only takes a few pounds spread out evenly.
Sorry about your glass breaking Gord . Hope the rest of your day goes better .
Cheers Brian - you too!
I would love to see the replacement in case or for when it happens to myself. It is nice to watch others struggle through it so I don't feel so stupid when I have to struggle through it.
Sorry about your glass. Thanks for sharing about your camera's, im looking to change mine and was looking for a brand worth trying. God Bless keep safe
Sad your glass broke. I have seen a couple other videos of people having the glass doors break also. Wish I had a cab at times but then again I don't have glass to worry about. Good luck with the repair.
Hi Gord, Ouch sorry about your bad luck with the tractor. I use the same space as a catch all in my tractor...might have to re think that now. Great update on all the equipment. After watching your review on the reolink argus I purchased the same set up and am now on year 3 with no issues at all. Very pleased with how it performs. Anyway hope the repair goes well :)
I bet the AC is working excellent currently, look at the bright side
Ohhh man, sorry to hear about that bottom glass Gord, I went to open the doors on my Kioti and BOTH of them were frozen at the bottom…they flexed like mad and I told myself it’s not worth pulling any harder. So I let them sit for a day. Those (I believe) are about $1100 to replace. Haha I’ll shovel before I horse on a full glass door to open it. 🤣
A shame about the glass but a valuable lesson for all with a cab. I have to say I'm impressed with my Gardepro as well. The lithium battery pack and solar panel has been great. The camera is always showing 100% even at the -30°C today. No moose to report but deer, coyote, rabbits, squirrels, and the neighbours dogs coming to visit. Great camera with clear pictures. Sound isn't great though. Has some kind of electric noise interference it seems. Stay warm!
Great video. I enjoyed both stories going at once. Good stuff.
Gord I live in Florida and this Friday will be about 24 F. Now about the Generator . I have been hit with a few Hurricanes but never invested in any Gen. Then I was hit with Irma . I knew it was time to invest in a Generator so I did my research. To be honest if most people would do their own research they would not be mad about what they buy. I knew because of Irma The cost of a Generator would be way to high so I waited till there was no threat of any power outage anywhere in the U.S. While waiting I did my research. Now what I am about to tell you will blow your mind and I'm sure a lot of others. I decided to buy a Weston House 10,000 Watt Gen with a 6 1/2 gallon gas tank . This Gen is remote start push button start and pull start. Now I have been hit with just recently 2 other Hurricanes and I used this Gen. On a full tank of gas it rant over 18 hours. Running everything in my house. A/C 2 refrigerator's Microwave lights Computer Stove and what ever I wanted to use that needed power.
I paid less the 1000 for this new and for an extra few hundred I could have bought a duel Gen that ran on gas or Propane. This is why people need to do their own research. The Duel Gen was worse. A propane tank that you use for like a gas grill is about 24 dollars and that will run the Gen 4 hours 6 if you are real lucky. But the gas part of the Duel Gen only runs 12 hours on a full tank of gas.
The Gen I have I ran for about 9 days and I did not use any oil. Truth is I never had to add any oil and it is still showing it is full. This Gen is over 10 years old and it runs like I just bought it last week. Here is the trick you need to have the mind set of it is better to have it and not need it then to need it and not have it. Do I need 10,000 watts? NO!!! but because I have it when I am running it the Gen is not working hard meaning it will last longer.
Morning Dane - thanks for the great info - I have not heard of that generator make but will look into sometime. And yes, very smart - my solar guy says the same thing - you need a larger generator than the load so it is not always running hard. Thanks again !

Don't feel bad. I have a Tektite cab on my B2620 and I forgot I had one of the wing windows open and ran it into a large tree branch. a couple of weeks later I had both of the glass doors leaning up against my fence beside the garage. Got up one morning and found that a wind gust had blown them both over and smashed them both. That cost me $2,000.00 after shipping to get new ones. Needless to say the doors are now stored in the shed when not on the tractor. I feel you pain. At least it's a small window that you don't have to replace right away.
Cheers: BJ in Ottawa
I recently broke one of the wing doors on my Tektite cab as well. Currently just replaced with cardboard. Did you get the replacement from Tektite? They quoted me about $500 to replace.
@@randyteal3420 Yes I got all the windows from Tektite. If I only need the wing window I would have used the one from the opposite side as a template to make new one out of plexiglass or other suitable plastic. They are just a flat piece of glass. Since I also need both glass doors I ordered every thing from Tektite. The wing window price sounds about right but I will check back and let you know.
@ Hi Randy. I checked back and the quote for just the wing window was $305.00. The seal was $56.00 and the shipping was about $100.00. Plus 13%HST of course. Depending on the model of you cab the window price may differ a bit.
Easy fix. Don’t sweat it Order glass from kubota and have an auto glass shop glue it in. I’ve been installing for 37 years…
Appreciate you providing us with 4k @60fps, some creators are still uploading at 1080p!
Regarding reolink, I've got four at my place. All 4K versions $200 a pop. Anyways, regarding your review of those cameras, maybe you haven't noticed but none of mine charge when it's below 2°.
I confronted real link regarding this and their explanation was it has to do with battery chemistry.
Cheers from Aylmer ONT
Good vid. I own same Kubota LX2610 w/ cab. I will learn from you and ensure I wrap my heavy items in a rag that bounce behind my seat. Would be interested to know the replacement cost for that small area. Best of luck and thanks again for sharing.
Hey GP you could use plexiglass to replace your window, I have had success with it in the past.
Gord, I am sorry to hear about the broken glass. I hope the replacement cost is not too excessive, and easily available. Maybe there could be a video doing the repair yourself!
I guess the optimistic thought is that now you have easy access to stuff behind the seat! Sorry about the glass and good luck with the replacement. Not sure if you have insurance on that machine, but that would be worth the $250 deductible.
That’s a bummer. Not as bad as you think though. I broke the same piece of glass on my b2650. Glass was around 150$ plus a tube of window sealant. Hardest part is removing the remainder of the glass.
Hey thanks Tony. Any tips for removing the old sealant and broken glass? :)
@ well I used a box cutter but it was tough. Maybe a thin wire.
@@tonybrown8574 Thanks Tony!
Oh no! Good luck with the replacement.
I could be wrong, but upon a cursory parts lookup, the lower rear window for an LX2610HSDC is only around $127 U.S. Certainly not peanuts, but definitely less expensive than I expected. For reference, I snapped a plow marker when I was plowing in around 0°F on Monday. I was shocked to find that dealers wanted ~$150 for a new set. Ultimately, I found a new set for ~$60 that claims to be nearly indestructible and went with those. Hopefully, you dodged a financial bullet with this mishap.
If you are gonna play, you're gonna PAY!!!! LOL It happens to all of us. If someone in Canada recommends a piece of equipment, it's all good in my book. Thanks, GP.
Hi Gord sorry for your window good luck to fix it ( Ty Ron
Sorry to hear that your wyze cam is not working out. What model did you buy?
V2 or V3 or V4?
Gord, what are you doing up there in the woods? You’re sending “FRIGID” air down here to southern Florida! It was a brisk 16°C this morning on the beach!
Nice comparison of the cameras! And good luck with your window replacement when the time comes! As ever your friend! 👏
Is the glass there for hitching up purposes ? Only ?
Might you leave it protected by the cardboard after the new glass installation?
If that's the worst that happens in 2025 you are doing fantastic.
Best wishes all winter long
Thanks Jean. Yes, it allows visibility down into the 3 point etc. Best wishes to you as well good sir!
I broke the big one the first year I had my tractor 1400. And I broke the bottom one a couple years later. The glass was around 250-300. I am glad I had the Kubota insurance. Well worth the money.
I feel for ya Gord. I did a door last month. Careless mistake. Ktac took care of it, with my $250 deductible of course. Things happen🤦🏻♂️
Morning Gord. Been there and done that with the broken glass…..twice embarrassingly lol. Both times were my fault. Ugh.
Oh well pay up and move on I guess. That’s what we do these days. Pay pay pay..
Cheers!
Shop vac works the best for cleaning up glass.
Gord if you have a multi tool it might be the best way to cut out the old adhesive. Rounded and tinted, no it won't be cheap.
Oh, WoW Gord, sorry about your rear glass on the tractor. That is a real pain!we have some Wyze cameras, they all work pretty well good. We have also found their customer service to be excellent. Give them a call, I’ll bet they send you a replacement camera pronto! Cheers!
Hope all is well GP,, yep the window sucks for sure, and a reason to be a bit bummed, but you really seem out of sorts, stay safe
I wonder if it is not the hazard triangle that hit the window, well the mounting bracket.
I have seen/heard mine hit it depending on the position of the 3 point hitch. Because of this, I removed mine.
Hi GP, just wondering if you bought the Kubota insurance because they would cover that. Cheers.
Smirnoff Ice. . .Interesting. . .I was thinking more like LaBatts. . .
LOL....:))
Yeah, that made me chuckle. Not what I would have expected.
OUCH or OOPS or Shucky Durnit , there goes your coffee money for the month. All though that does happen you'll think about it more when going off road or to the neighbors . It will quit hurting when you throw away the cardboard replacement so the guys up there will quit ribbing you. Glad to finally get a better look at your Moose and yearling. Great work from your security cameras, well most of them anyway. Keep up the good videos and the great things you do around there. Great generator you have too, that's awesome.. Fred and family.
I know how dangerous it is to keep unsecured items in the back of a vehicle (incase of an accident), but I'd never thought about the shelf behind the seat in my Kubota. Something to think about.
I don't remember which Wyze cam you have, we have 15 Wyze cams at our house monitoring the outdoors, goats and chickens. There is a setting called Detections Settings where you can set the detection sensitivity (Close to Far), the image sensitivity (low to high), the Detection Zone (on or off), if the detection zone is set Off then you basically have the whole camera view, if the detection zone is set on, then you have to set the PIR Effective Area to what you want detected. It may be the whole camera area or you can specify just a small area. We have a few areas where we have a lot of activity that we don't need to record, they happen all the time, maybe from wind or of vehicles going by, just things that we don't care to record. Maybe that PIR Effective Area needs to be tweaked. Thanks for sharing your misfortune with the window, I get it when something like that happens, it's just a really bad day. Keep warm!
you just learnt me what not to do put junk in behind my seat lol i just took all me junk out behind the seat lol now im buling a box to put the junk in on the side ov tracktore
Ouch ! At least no injuries
I’m guessing $1000 installed for that window.
I'll let you folks know. Have a great day!
All I can say is you have a lot of stuff behind your seat. I have a JD 3039R and there is no room behind my seat. Hopefully you’ll get the new glass in will no problems. Cheers Jeff
Firman 5700 dual fuel. $999.00 today.
Sorry about your cab glass. Sucks!!
I have 8 Reolink camera's with one being the Argus PT solar powered camera. All the other camera's are plugged in for power. I've had the Argus PT for almost 3 years now and I'm having an issues with it connecting. I think the solar panel may be bad and is not providing power to the camera battery. I'll have to take the camera down and see if it charges plugged into power and charges. I also have a Wyze indoor camera and I'm not a fan of their camera's also. But what I really do like from Wyze is their wifi plugs (indoor & outdoor) and light bulbs. These work great all the time. My tractor is in a detached garage with the coolant heater plugged into a Wyze wifi plug that I can turn on from anywhere. I also have some lights in the garage I can turn on. I also have 2 Wyze outdoor wifi plugs that power my heated mats & stairs for my porch.
Sorry to see the broken glass GP!
Hi Gord. Do you have the Kubota insurance? You would be surprised what they cover. My dealer told me that a guy left his door open while backing up and clipped a tree...not once, but twice, and Kubota insurance covered it both times.
Its 'meese' for future reference...
LOL! It was a test.The plural of moose singular is in fact, moose , plural. :)) Cheers and thanks for playing.:))
That is the reason i cant own a cab tractor. If i would have a cab tractor i would have smashed out the front window for sure already!
Gord you need a garage. Makes working on equipment so much better in below 0 temps.
I worked in autobody and have replaced my share of windshields. If it's just urethane then you just cut off 90% of the glue and prime it with a special primer, squirt on the urethane then press the window on and tape it in place so it doesn't sag. And to help it cure faster you can squirt the urethane with water to speed up the cure time.
This is the biggest reason that I went with an open ROPS tractor, being that I work mostly in the woods.
BUT, I have to admit, watching you working in the snow makes me wish I had a cab tractor. AND, it would help keep the ground hornets off of me in the summertime!
Ugh. That sucks. Sorry that happened.
I have the cheap Wyze cameras and they pickup cars 1/4 of a mile away, and every car on our dirt road, I will be getting a Reolink camera
Sorry to see the window broken window
Unlucky for sure. I’m a BX 2200 guy. Judging by what you dragged out from underneath and around your seat…kabota still has storage issues. As mentioned already you’re going to have to add a toolbox of some sort. For all the good things that kabota is known for…..storage isn’t one of them. Good luck
Bummer on the window gord. We have broken a few in the skidsteers you will find glass forever!
