I know some guys on TH-cam wonder if their videos help out their business, I'm here to say that 100%, from your videos, I buy all my parts from Messicks and I have a dealer that is 20 min away. Keep up the great videos Neil!
Wow. Huge moves for Curtis offering a cab like that at $3500. Makes me wonder why I’ve been turning myself into a yeti while blowing snow on my videos!
This cab at this Price may have kept me from going to my B2650 Cab. I love the factory cab on the B series, but this is the best looking cab I’ve seen so far on the BX series.
I love mowimg with the AC on! And you use it a lot,lot more than you think you would. At 55 and 60 degrees out (which sounds nice and cool) if the sun is out than that tractor turns into a little greenhouse.
💥 Great job going over all the details Neil! I think the Curtis advantage cab is appealing to a lot of people. Especially for guys like me dealing with the cold and snow. Keep on tractoring!
Great overview Neil! Pretty mild here in central VA, but I'd still like a cab some days and would definitely appreciate one with AC in the heat of the summer!
I wrap my Kubota B21 with clear vinyl from Joan Fabric, duct tape and a plexiglass front window. Then I use a pipe cut down the middle taped to the motor side vents so warm air gently blows into the cab.
Does the Advantage cab have defrost vents? Couldn't tell in the video, just looks like the heater on the side of the cab and that's it on that model. Looks like a good fit for someone like me that really doesn't need a fancy cab but if I get a snow blower for winter use a cab is really a must, and anyone who doesn't think so is free to come run the snow blower on my lawn tractor for a few minutes. The snow that blows back off the snow blower will quickly cover you in snow/ice and you quickly become soaked. A cab for a snow blower equipped tractor is a must....and the price point on this cab is about $2k less than the premium cab and honestly isn't much on the premium cab that would make much sense in spending the extra money on. In the winter the loader is off, and snow blower would be installed, so no need for those little doors to open up to access the loader release handles, and you still need to get out of the cab to store the hydraulic coupler/lines anyways. The new AC system is great, but pretty dumb design, if you have to run the tractor at full throttle or thereabouts just for the AC to work, its kind of pointless, many things don't require full throttle so the AC for the cost isn't something I'd care to waste money on since it wouldn't work most of the time for a lot of tasks I'd use the tractor for. By the time you add that premium cab, the AC, and everything else you want to have on your toy, you could buy a really nice pickup truck LOL. These things are getting really pricy LOL. I want one HAHA!!! Can you add a cab later on, or does it need to be done during initial purchase? I'd have to save money in order to buy the cab at some point this is why I'm wondering if it would have to be dealer installed when the tractor is purchased or if I could bring the tractor in at a later date and have a cab installed? Which if it could be done later that premium cab would be nice, except the lack of the rear window being able to open on what's suppose to be a premium cab is kind of a downer....not sure why they'd not have that feature on their more expensive fancy cab.
I wish KUBOTA would make a canvas cab for the B series that could be installed in the winter and removed when it warms up. Doesn’t need heat or anything. It just needs to block most of the wind. Keep It simple.
Messick's I would hope Kubota would not make a crappy quality enclosure. A canvas enclosure would be a nice alternative for those of us who can’t afford the extra 4K for the hard cab. Plus I like/need open station otherwise. I guess I might have to hillbilly a golf cart canvas to provide a bit of a wind break for the winter months. Lol
We build both a premium curtisindustries.net/product/kubota-b2301-2601-premium-cab/ and standard curtisindustries.net/product/kubota-b2301-2601-standard-cab/ cab for the Kubota B2601. Check out our site and contact Messicks for more info!
From our technical department: There is a cover put in place to prevent heat from being pulled out of the cab. The air is forced from under the cab and the sides of it to cool down the radiator.
The Kubota "Build My Kubota" site shows the deluxe cab list price as $4679. That appears to be without lights, wiper or heater. Those items appear to add another $1798 to that price. It also shows that the cab requires the installation of rear wheel weights.
I don't think they made any changes to the L2501 over the last few years. I think mine is a 2016 and I was looking at bigger tractors last year was comparing specs and actual size
There was some question as to exactly what years our cab would fit that particular model. We have since tested it and barring any major changes to the current model, it should fit. So if the tractor has been the same for x amount of years, it fits great!
Our BX80 is from 2018+, but we also offer other models for older years. Depending on the vehicle you have, we might have a cab for it. You can see our our full Kubota line at our site and contact Messicks for more info. curtisindustries.net/kubota-tractor-cabs/
We do still offer a cab for that model, but it is a soft side cab. You can see the specs on our site and contact Messicks for more info. curtisindustries.net/product/kubota-b2320-2620-2920-soft-side-cab/

Having a cab AC option for the small tractors should be a huge advantage for many owners
Mowing in AC!!!
I love mowimg with the AC on! And you use it a lot,lot more than you think you would. At 55 and 60 degrees out (which sounds nice and cool) if the sun is out than that tractor turns into a little greenhouse.

Keep on tractoring!
A RITTER BIT WILL DO +1
Don't you have an oem cab?
@@bombidude Yes but it cost 30% more
bombidude I do but for guys like me that are currently dealing with freezing their hind end off. A cab is a great investment.
Keep the BX videos coming!
Nice job Neal fantastic info for anyone looking for a cab, winter is almost over but that’s why kurtis has AC too!
"It gets cold in the northeast, particularly in the wintertime..."
Not bad, really! Looking forward to the a/c video, for sure! 👍
Great overview Neil! Pretty mild here in central VA, but I'd still like a cab some days and would definitely appreciate one with AC in the heat of the summer!
Nice jobs always Neil and a great investment for cold weather states.
Curtis cabs, made in Worcester Ma, they do a nice job
great video. just bought my first Kubota 2380. switched from JD

More BX videos pls! :)
Hey! Off topic but what's with the nice 70 series New Holland behind you doing?
AC would be nice in the summer but I can’t see needing the heater in southern Oklahoma.
-6 with 3 feet of snow on the ground as I'm watching this video in ND. A cab with heat would be nice on a day like this
Thanks Neil always quality input from you...how does the cab affect a backhoe during the warmer months?
nice cab, i have an older l3010 with a curtis cab on it, its a soft side wish it was a little better. Also wish curtis still had parts for it.
I wish KUBOTA would make a canvas cab for the B series that could be installed in the winter and removed when it warms up. Doesn’t need heat or anything. It just needs to block most of the wind. Keep It simple.
Not a fan at all. Terrible for resale. Poor quality.

I have a 2601 opened cab and the snow doesn’t bother me as much as the wind does. A cab would be great.

Do they have one for the BX2360 ?? The loader valve is where the heater is on that one.
What does assembly and installation run if done by your dealership? Can it be done DIY?
Cool are they available in Australia
A/C... Florida...yes, please!
Does the radiator fan still pull air from the cabin into the radiator and then out or do you swap fans to take outside air and blow it in the cab?
From our technical department: There is a cover put in place to prevent heat from being pulled out of the cab. The air is forced from under the cab and the sides of it to cool down the radiator.
Wind protection is HUGE in cold wind.
And then there's keeping off rain...
hey need I'm in a high crime area of canada so will the cab doors lock?
They do indeed!
@@CurtisIndustriesLLC they lock ?
@@freelanserns187 Yes, our doors are lockable.
@@CurtisIndustriesLLC thanks a lot
Very helpful video!!! Thanks
Do you guys sell front fenders for the bx series?
Does this replace the ROPS frame?
Our Cab fits around the ROPS, no need to remove it.
How high is this cab from the ground? My garage door only has an 80” clearance.
Our Cab is Under 7 Foot Overall Height
Curtis Industries LLC ok thanks. I assume, that’s when it’s on this BX2380 with it’s standard size tires?
@@andrewandron7087 Yes, the standard size. If your tires are bigger, that could change the measurements.
How much is the oem Kubota cab?
Good question! Neil.....? 🤔
30% more I guess!

I see they make a cab for the L2501, but is it only for the yr 2016 model?
I don't think they made any changes to the L2501 over the last few years. I think mine is a 2016 and I was looking at bigger tractors last year was comparing specs and actual size

Hey Neil, Do they market that cab for a 2017 B2650 ROPS?
Yes. curtisindustries.net/product/kubota-b2650-b3350-all-steel-cab/
Looks good, but checked web page and only fits 2018 and up BX, rest of us out of luck
Oh crap. Mine is a 2011.

We do still offer a cab for that model, but it is a soft side cab. You can see the specs on our site and contact Messicks for more info.
curtisindustries.net/product/kubota-b2320-2620-2920-soft-side-cab/
What about using the backhoe.....?
Unfortunately this cab is not backhoe compatible, but the OEM cab also by us is.
Will it fit on a BX25 with a backhoe?
We make a cab for the BX25D & BX25D-1 models that is backhoe compatible. curtisindustries.net/product/kubota-bx70-25d-hard-side-cab/ Contact Messicks for more info!

Does it fit on a BX 1880?
Yes
I'll take one if you want to write it off. 🤔🤔🤔
The style is a bit too boxy for me. Maximizes space but doesn’t fit with the BX’s sleek lines.
My Kubota BX cab (By Curtis) cost us around 10 000$. You Americans always get things cheaper. I am so Jealous. LOL
Frankly, that Cab looks like crap.
Hahahahaha who cares what a tractor looks like??? Its a tractor, made to work!
?? Built quality?? Style??? Functionality?? Please be more specific about what you object to so we can understand better the shortcomings you see.
Compared with what....? 🤔
It would look better if the doors were black
