💥 Excellent video! Love the angles and the clear explanation. This will be helpful for many. Appreciate the nice shoutout. Thanks buddy.
*Keep on tractoring!* 😁👍
Thanks Jon, I'm really happy overall with this cab for the money, gonna be able to finally enjoy plowing again and my pushbox should be a great addition as well. Thanks for your support!
Jon Ritter making you spend money now.. LOL
It’s the circle of tractor life! 🦁
He sure did! This is all Jons fault, haha. Its a good thing iv yet to have a wife! lol
Haha! Every time Mr. Ritter drives his tractor, he’s also driving sales somewhere in the industry! I have a Jeep (Just Empty Every Pocket) too, and I’m starting to realize that BX actually stands for Buy Xccessories...
Great video - every time I watch the Ritter Bit will Do channel I get cab envy!
Haha right?! How could you not! Those Curtis cabs are some of the nicest most well thought out cabs on the market today thats for sure. Thanks for watching Frank!
Great video. Looking at this as well for next season.
Would have been happier if it set itself and accommodates my lazyboy, but I’m quite pleased otherwise!
I’ve enjoyed your channel too, good to see you guys supporting each other.
Thanks buddy! Yah I agree with all the snow you get up where you live you could def use a cab like this! Great product for the money IMO. I saw the video where you caught your ROPS on your garage door, I must say I think EVERYONE has done this at least once haha, I know I have caught mine on my house cutter a time or two luckily I always catch it and stop before any damage is done tho. Thanks for your support!
I got this based on your recommendation on a comment on one of your videos (couldn’t find it after). You mentioned TTWT and I checked the video out, before making the decision.
On my BX 2680 there are some differences for anyone wondering-
1.) the grab bar on the left fairing had to be removed, not a really elegant solution there.
2.)The ROPS c-clamp also started cutting into the vinyl, so I had to remedy that.
3.)Our right doors are different, yours has a billow (I assume that it’s to accommodate your loader controls), mine just looks like your left door.
I have the windshield and wiper, but haven’t wired it in yet.
Fit and finish could be better, but really for the price and the fact that it can be removed for summer time it works. Overall I’m very pleased with it, so thank you for the recommendation (even though it was to another viewer).
Fantastic video as always, thanks!
Great man I'm glad I was able to help. Thanks for all your input and advise with this cab on the new bx80 series it is great information for viewers to have for sure! I think we are both gonna love the front windshield upgrade as it will not only strengthen the cab but will be much easier to see out of as well. I'm excited to get going on all of the cab accessory installs for you guys, its gonna make it feel much more like a factory cab indeed. And yes the cab isn't perfect but for the money IMO its the best cab you can buy hands down. Thanks for watching!
Awesome video man. I have a Curtis cab on my 2680 and love it. I live in Montana and it’s toasty warm in side but could be a little quieter
Thank Dan! Those Curtis cabs are bar none IMO and they are by far the best cab option for a Kubota BX if youv got the money. I'm glad to hear you like yours so much! Gotta love being able to stay warm and cozy in a cab while enjoying your favorite winter tractor work, its great therapy too! Thanks for watching.
Like your channel, your from upstate NY grew up in Attica myself. Have family that lives in Arcade. Really liked your snow pusher, you did a fantastic job on it.
Hey Todd thanks I appreciate it. That’s great it’s always cool to meet someone who grew up from WNY or who lives here.. I have some family in Attica myself and use to camp up in arcade when I was a kid haha. Where are you living now?
Great video. My favorite part of your 2nd Gen Dodge Ram Cummins truck is the steering wheel and also watching you drive.
Haha thanks Jeff! Hopefully there will be a lot more of that this summer!
I bet even without the heater, it makes working in cold weather very manageable. Working in the cold wind and rain takes all the fun out of Everything ! Can't wait to see the add-on's ! Thanks for sharing
Thanks Paul! You've got that right! So much of being comfortable when operating a piece of equipment is just getting the wind off you, once you can get the wind and elements off you it makes life so much better, cab heater or not. I am super excited to show you guys all of the accessories you can get for these cabs and how to go about installing them. Thanks for your support!

FOR ANYONE WANTING TO INSTALL THE ORIGINAL TRACTOR CAB ON THEIR KUBOTA BX23S YOU CURRENTLY HAVE TO USE THE BX2380 CAB ADN ALTER THE MOUNTS GOING FROM THE CAB TO THE ROPS SINCE THE ROPS IS WIDER ON THE BX23S.. HERE IS A VIDEO I FOUND FOR YOU GUYS EXPLAINING WHAT YOU WOULD NEED TO CHANGE OR ALTER
LINK: th-cam.com/video/AIoOKgjHZCA/w-d-xo.html
Thank you sir :)
looks great! You going to love it especially on those windy snow days. Word of advise since you didn't get the glass window and wiper. Carry a couple rags/towels with you to wipe off the front window. It will get wet and a little difficult to see out of from time to time. I had a soft cab on my JD X739 and it worked great, I just had to wipe down the from window from time to time. Great video as always. Enjoy.
Thanks man, Im super excited to plow in a nice warm cab finally this year. The fit and finish of the cab is amazing for the money im very happy with it. I just finished making an install video of the glass from windsheild and wiper blade so this wont be an issue but id have to agree for anyone who isnt gonna do this upgrade that they should keep a rag handy. Install video on that coming soon!
@@BiffsEquipment sweet!
I looked at one of these cabs for my 1026R a couple years back. Price was about $1000 from what I remember but with the added shipping cost and exchange rate to Canada, not to mention the extortion at the border for various fees it would have cost me a bit over $2000 CAD. A bit much for a soft cab. Bought a Milwaukee heated hoodie and an extra pair of socks for a lot less.
Haha that’s funny man cuz I bought my father a Milwaukee heated hoody too for when he goes out to plow he owned a 1023e and loves the hoodie since he also didn’t have a cab. I wish Original Tractor Cab would open a business out in Canada cuz your right about the shipping it can totally kill the good deal and I agree with you spending that kind of money on a soft cab would be crazy. Thanks for the comment!
the heater works awesome I've got one in my 1025r and it'll sweat you out I was plowing snow wearing a t-shirt
Great to know! So far the cab heater is def a nice little accessory specially for free haha, Think I'm gonna mount a small 120mm high static pressure Computer fan to the backside of the heater to help increase airflow across the heating eliment. The heater seems to make plenty of good heat but seems to lack a bit in air flow so im gonna see if i can fix that lol. Thanks for watching!
I purchased the same one last year. Used it all last winter. Very pleased with it.
Awesome! They are very good cabs and for the money you can’t beat them! I plan to re-install mine very soon, I also plan to do another heater upgrade for the cab so stay tuned!
Nice cab. I could have used one today.
Hey Bob, sure sounded like you coulda with the 14" of snow you told me you guys got! Best of luck out there!
Great video Biff! I`m sure this helped MANY people, whether it was with the installation, or maybe it helped them to decide to buy the cab when they weren't sure of it before.
Thanks Larry I hope it did! That was the primary reason for making these cab videos was to show people who may not have the money for an expensive cab that there are other options that work just as well and in fact have their own benefits to the expensive cabs such as the easy removability that this cab has. Thanks for watching!
Very nice narrated install video. Being in upstate NY, a cab is almost a must for winter snow removal. Interested to see what's left on the tractor come Spring / Summer. By the way, nice air conditioned jeans you were wearing.
Haha thanks man. Yes a cab in NYS is nearly a must in the winter thats for sure. Thanks for watching and stay tuned I got more install videos coming!
Excellent install video Biff! Very detailed and instructive. The push box turned out great - can't wait to see it in action in some deep snow this winter. And most of all - you have shelter and heat now! Have a Merry Christmas!
Thanks GP! I couldn't be happier with this cab thus far and I feel its gonna be a great addition to my new snow pusher. Thanks for watching and I hope you and your family have a safe and Merry Xmas as well!
Looks great. You did well being able to install that by yourself holding all the individual pieces.
Thanks Francis, it was def a bit challenging to do alone, would be a much easier job having a second hand thats for sure. Glad you enjoyed!
You have a sharp looking setup now! I have that heater on my tractor, of course no cab, but it’s nice to warm my hands up. I bet it heats that little cab nicely!
Thanks man, the heater is not bad for a free heater, it has no problem getting hot but the fan is a bit lacking so I think I'm gonna wire in and mount up a 120mm high static pressure computer fan on the back side of the heater to help increase air flow over the heating element.. This should help drastically with how fast it can warm the cab up. Thanks for watching!
All I like that push box great job makeing it
This is a great video, I like how you show the actual install of every brace, nut and bolt. Been waiting for awhile to see a video this detailed on the OTC. Well done.
Thanks Karl, glad you liked it. I agree there were no good installs to go off of on the Internet, none that really explained it well enough which made my install kinda tough, but that’s why I wanted to make sure mine was well detailed that showed everything. Thanks for watching!
The cab looks great . That video is so helpful for anyone else who wants to install one . Love the channel. Keep up the great work and God bless you Brother.
Thanks man! Glad to see your still around and doing well, I hope you and your family have a blessed and Merry Xmas!
Great job on both the cab and the snow pusher, looks OEM 👍🏻.
Thanks Chris, I appreciate it buddy!
Congrats on the new cab buddy. Looks awesome. I just pulled the trigger and bought a bx23s today, after watching hours of yours, among others videos. Before I got it home today, I got a side job with it. Lol
Congrats Jason! That's funny you got a side job already before you even got it home, they are AMAZING side work tractors.. Easy to maintain, easy to haul, and small enough to work almost any job! Let me know how you like it in the coming months!
Great job, I'll be waiting for the accessories! My L2501 is just too tall to have a cab and get under my 7ft garage door. I've been kicking around trying to make my own, it'll just take a nice -15 degree day with wind to push me into trying it. I too would want it easily removable. You're gonna love tht snow pusher!
Thanks man! Yah that is an issue a lot of people have including my father with his john deere 1023E where depending on the tractor, The Cab may stand higher than your garage door will allow.. One thing to note is that I'm actually able to lower my ROPS even with the cab on and it even states that its ok to do in the manual.. The ROPS mounts just help to sturdy the cab even more but if I'm being honest I don't feel having the ROPS mounts on at the end of installation is necessary. If you do go with this cab I would install the ROPS mounts to start with and then once the cab is built and all bolts are tight then I would try removing the ROPS mounts and putting down your ROPS to see if it would then be able to clear your garage door.. Every tractor is a bit different tho and the cab for the L-series may require the ROPS to stay up but its def worth looking into. I was originally planning to build my own cab too but then after taking a second look and seeing how tight many of the spots would be to run the main frame (since I have a sub-compact tractor) I decided not to as I felt it would take me most the winter to complete lol. Thanks for watching and lmk what you end up doing!
Yeah I think I'd be able to keep the rops down, but it's the overall height, my L2501 site tall to begin with. Even the Curtis cab that sits lower than my rops when up, is still a couple inches too tall. As I sit on my tractor going in and out of my garages, my head clears by 5-6" so thats all I'd have to play with for a roof. I'd be close to hitting my head inside. I was maybe thinking of an open top wind block, then I get thinking, if I get cold, go in my heated garage, have a coffee, go back out. Lol.
@@ironheadbiker ahh I see. Yah you may be stuck with the only other option then which is building your own. I’m sure you could do it tho there are lots of other cab build videos on TH-cam.. iv seen nearly every one of them cuz I spent 2 months searching videos when I was gonna build mine then finally opted out lol. Let me know what you end up doing I’d be curious to know.. until then stay warm out there!
Yeah I just checked, and my buddy "Country Living with the Harnish's" put that same cab on his L2501. I had him measure it and it was just a couple inches too tall. I had to go back and look at the manufacturer name and yeah it's the same as yours. Then I searched his comments and yep he measured for me and it was like 85" in front and 82 in the rear or something like that. Plus now with my tire chains I'm tht much taller. Oh well, custom time we go
Well I got home and got to "work" with my tractor clearing snow I thought would've melted, but it hasn't gotten as warm as it was supposed to here in Wisconsin. I love my snow pusher, but today I got an idea for a removable back drag blade. I don't like the ones that go on top like the ones good works tractor sells, the HLA. when you curl all the way forward your cylinders are at their weakest point. I've seen many guys break their cylinders hitting stuff as they back up, so I don't wanna go that route. But I had a revelation looking at it today for a back drag idea WITHOUT full extention of my cylinders. I wish I had your skill in welding, but mine will get me by. Gotta scrounge up some materials and then I'll be rockin.
That's my only complaint with a snow pusher is the loss of a back drag like I can with my bucket, but I think this solves that.
Great install. Looks really simple! I can't wait to hear what you think of it after some use in the snow!
Thanks man! I see you have a cab for your little John Deere.. Which cab is that?
Fine install can't wait for the heater install we have 2370-1 with a curtis cab heaters not the best when below zero
God Bless
PaK
Thanks Peter! More videos to come very soon with possible PROMO code!
Hey man it’s Christian Restivo from silver creek, I just wanted to say great video that install was very good I enjoy install videos I hope to do some more this winter on all my Harley’s 🤟
Hey buddy, nice to see you here on TH-cam! Didn't realize you had a channel as well ill certainly check it out. Glad you enjoyed the video, stay safe out there buddy!
@@BiffsEquipment yeah man your mom showed me your channel! I enjoy it dude great work makes me want a tractor and I don’t even need one 🤣
Wow that's a great little cab and with the money you saved you can buy a new pair of Jeans.
Good job, the pusher came out great. You got some skills.
Thanks Rick! I was really happy with the way it came out, I ground down and softened all of the edges and wire wheeled off all of the weld spatter and I'm glad I did because the pushbox came out silky smooth after paint. Thanks for watching.
@@BiffsEquipment yes, I've been watching and I'm a pretty fussy guy when it comes to detailed work and that pusher came out awesome. We don't have the same name tractor, but I know quality work when I see it. Congratulations.
@@rickpacheco8864 Thank you very much Rick, I'm glad to hear you liked the quality of the pushbox I made. I'm very OCD and like things to be as perfect as I can get them, as the saying goes.. "If your not gonna do something right then don't do it at all" right? Thanks for your support!
Biff's Equipment yes, I know what you mean about the ocd, I’m even worse. I call it cdo, that way it’s in alphabetical order like it should be. Lol keep up the good work.
@@rickpacheco8864 haha CDO that’s funny as hell. Sounds good buddy have a Merry Xmas!
heyhey Mike Nice job. I have wondered how well one of those cabs would hold up in my extreme cold here in Alaska. The only thing that I can see that would bother me is that I wouldn't be able to drop the ROPS after the install. Can't wait to see what else you got coming
Thanks man, Love your videos as well! Its amazing how much support there is in the TH-cam tractor community. As for the ROPS mounts, The manual actually states that the ROPS mounts can be removed safely if the ROPS needs to be folded down and it should not have any affect on the cab. The cab is rock solid even with out those 2 cab mounts so I suggest looking into it to see if it would be the same for an original tractor cab on your tractor but I believe it is. If you do end up trying this cab I would install it fully like I did and then at the very end once all the bolts have been tightened remove the 2 ROPS mounts and then drop your ROPS and see if it will fit under your garage door.. I was lucky enough to build my shed door JUST tall enough to where my ROPS just fits under the header with 1/8" to spare while its in the top position but I agree most people don't have this tall of a garage door so having the ROPS able to fold down is a must. Thanks for watching and keep me posted with what you end up doing, all that snow that you get you could certainly use one! haha
Totally valid concerns, I was sent to Alaska for training and the wind was a shocker. I was 200lbs of muscle and carrying full kit, but your sustained winds didn’t give a damn! Very humbling.
I know that Original Tractor Cab states that the vinyl panels have to be removed if the tractor is to be transported by trailer. I would certainly give them a call if before purchasing one if I were you. On my setup, there are stress points where the vinyl is under significant tension.
Nice Job! I just placed my order for my B2601. Thanks for sharing this, just what I was searching for. Dave
Very cool! Your gonna love the B2601! I have always told my subscribers that if I ever upgrade I’ll mostly likely upgrade to the B2601. They are the perfect sized tractor in many ways.. small enough to still get in tight areas and do tight jobs but large enough still to be efficient on the larger jobs. Let me know how you like it!
@@BiffsEquipment A friend of mine has a BX but with the 4 acres I have I thought it would be better to upsize. It is a beast! I have a 60" tiller for it and tilled 1.5 acres with no issues last summer. I just purchased a flail mower for it and it is the biggest bang for buck accessory so far. I have even used it for stump grinding with no issues. The cab came today and it will get installed this weekend by me. I have some mod ideas for it as well but need to see it installed first.
@@davidbormet5485 very good man! Yah anything 4 acres and over is starting to push it with a sub compact. I only have 3 acres total myself but 1.5 of the 3 acres is not very accessible yet as I been slowly clearing the land with my BX since I bought the property. Sounds like your gonna love your new tractor, should be a great fit. Keep me posted how things go with your cab!
@@davidbormet5485 very cool man! Glad to hear your liking it thus far! What stump grinder do you own? I plan on buying one in the spring
@@BiffsEquipment I didn't buy a stump grinder. I meant that I used my flail mower for trimming down the stumps to 1 inch above the ground. I have the hammers sharpened just right that it basically acts like a chain saw cutting away the stump. This is done very slowly and works great! Great addition to cutting anything and saves on a rotary mowers wear and tear.
Great job!👍
Excellent video! Very well explained for us more challenged people LOL. Looking forward to see the push box in use and all the cab accessories!
Thanks! Now we just gotta get you an Original Tractor Cab for your John Deere 1023E!
Hi Mike! A Ritter Bit Will Do mentioned your channel so thought I would come by and check out your content. You look very skilled with your tractor FEL. Subscribed and Liked! Watching all these tractor channels has me pretty stoked to get my first tractor soon. Waiting on our new house build to be complete on the 9 acres we just bought.
Awesome man! That was super nice of Jon to do that shout out and I'm glad you told me he sent you! Which tractor are you gonna buy have you decided yet? Let me know when you do!
@@BiffsEquipment Kubota or Branson are what I am leaning towards. model not sure on yet.
@@HomeWithTheBuffingtons absolutly go with a Kubota hands down. Branson makes good machines but my naibor has one and he can’t even get parts for the damn thing and it’s not even that old. He’s broken his hydraulics somehow in his 3 point hitch as well as the spline coming out of the trans for the 4x4 and he has called and tried everyone and he can’t get parts for it so it stays a 2x4 now with a 3 point hitch that’s held up with Rachet straps I kid too not lol kubota will ALWAYS have parts available no matter what and Kubota hand picks their own engines and trans for all their tractors and equipment so it’s perfectly matched.. it’s not a motor from one company and a trans from another and axles from another like most company’s do. Plus nothing beats a Kubota engine, they are one of the toughest engines out there and put out more torque per HP than other engines in the same class.. I would def suggest Kubota, when their warentee is better and customer service. Branson makes good tough tractors tho don’t get me wrong.. but I feel they aren’t in the same league as Kubota just my own option.
Go over and check out “Messicks” TH-cam channel, there you can learn SO much about Kubota tractors and anything you want to know about them. There is so much great content on his channel and you can learn lots of great technical stuff even if you don’t own a Kubota or decide to go with one.
@@BiffsEquipment it is like a 95% to 5% decision. I pretty sure I am going to go with Kubota though.
Nice video! Only thing missing is the 10% off biff promo code .... lol. A cab is near the top of my wish list. Looking forward to your next video.
Funny you mentioned that! Promo Code coming soon! Stay Tuned for next video where I installed my glass windshield and electric wiper kit. Thanks for watching!
Biff! Looks great! How well does the heater work for you? Think I'm gunna pull the trigger on this myself
Very good video...... very informative and I think I might be getting a cab now. Kevin
Thanks man, You def should, if you buy this cab I can promise you wont be disappointed for the money. Initial install can be a little tough but there are plenty of install videos including my own that will help with that. Once its installed it can be removed in just a few minutes which is a HUGE plus for this cab. Let me know if you get one!
Dude, everything is looking great, really nice job on your push box
Thanks Cale!
Looking good! Can't wait to see some snow plowing vids!
Thanks Jimmy! We got some snow yesterday, enough to where I had to plow all day at work but the the temp warmed up and by the time I got home all the white stuff was about gone haha. Sooner or later we will get more tho! Thanks for watching.
I can wait to see the soft cab & crazy sweet pushbox you built in action. Your pushbox is the nicest I've seen, better looking than factory.. I'd buy one it looks beefy. Did you get the big snow storm on 12/17? Would really appreciate feedback on both as I take delivery of a new BX2680 on January 7th. We just got 36" of snow West of Albany @1375' of elevation. I have 5 acres with 800' driveway.
Hey Sean thanks for your comment, as of right now we really didn't get much snow, the big storm just missed us and we only got about 4", I went into work at 3am and plowed all day and by the time I got home it had warmed up and 90% of the snow was gone. Wow its crazy how much snow you guys got! My brother plows snow for the state and he actually got called out to NYC right near where you live I'm assuming, he's been out there for the last day or so plowing like a mad man. I'm really glad you liked the way the pushbox turned out man, it was a lot of work but is gonna be well worth it when it comes to plowing snow this winter vs. just using my bucket as I did every year prior. Your gonna love your new Kubota BX and sounds like you have the perfect size property for it! You'v got a HUGE driveway by the sounds of it so I would def look into getting a pushbox and even a snow blower for deep snows like you got yesterday. I'm excited to continue to show you what these little tractors can do and all of the useful implements that help make them that much more versatile. Iv got a lot of new stuff coming for the channel in the coming weeks that I know your gonna love so stay tuned! Congrats on the new BX2680, stay safe out there!
PS. This coming summer if things go right I'm gonna build a nice big work shop with a concrete floor either off my shed or a whole new garage all together and would like to start building and selling some of the things I make for the BX, If I do this ill surly let you know! Thanks for all your support.
Great installation video!
Thanks Sharon!
Turned out nice ! You like it for sure !
Thanks Joe!
Really great video, very clear and concise. You did an excellent job on that pusher box, looks great! I was wondering where about you live, I know in a previous video you mentioned you live near the lake and in the snow belt area. Are you in New York, I live just west of Syracuse, on the edge of the snow belt? Looking forward to seeing that pusher box moving snow!
Thanks a Ton Paul, always nice to meet other NY'ers on here! I live about 45 min west of Buffalo, NY. Your not super far from me. I have yet to get any real snow this year but when I do ill def be making a video for you guys! Stay safe and have a Merry X-mas!
Thanks Biff, looking forward to those videos. Haven’t really had any heavy snow here, just 4-5 inches from the last storm. Stay safe and Merry Christmas 🎄
Congrats, Biff! I have a BX2370 with a Curtis cab. It has a windshield wiper that is great when the snow melts on the front window. My heater burned out as it was fed by hot water from the block. I was out when we had the 4' of snow and I was post-op from open heart triple bypass surgery. I was very careful not to put tension on my chest and rip the sternum apart with the stainless steel wires. LOL How is that heater working? One review said it didn't put out that much heat. Cheers, Bob
Hey Bob, wow i sure hope you feel better soon! The Curtis cab heater will def put out more heat then the heater I have, but the Curtis heater is also a lot more money. Your heater most likely didn’t “burn out” the fan inside it more or less just quit working I’m assuming.. you’ll have to check for power using a volt meter to see if the heaters power wire is getting 10-12v.. if it is then it just needs the blower fan replaced.. I just had to do the same thing to the fan on the Curtis heater at work on our John Deere Curtis cab. If you don’t have power to the heater then you need to check for a bad wire or a blown fuse.. these heaters are very simple.. all it is is a mini radiator that the coolant travels through and heats up.. then there is a fan behind the mini radiator that blows through it warming the air from the fan as it passed through and out of the heater box. Best of luck let me know how you make out. It took me about 20 minutes or so to replace the fan in our Curtis heater at work once I had bought a replacement fan
@@BiffsEquipment Hey Biff, thanks. I'm doing great, no pain and progressing with exercise. IMPORTANT! for everyone... if you start experiencing a tight chest that radiates up into your neck (with or without pain),get to your local ER (skip your primary care clinic). You will be treated as a Code for heart attack and a load of tests run. That's how I found out I was a dead man walking. It started in August just walking up my driveway and getting the symptoms above. It was an Angina attack. If I hadn't gone to the ER the next attack would have been a heart attack according to my cardiologist. It DOESN'T matter your age. I'm 75 and was in good physical health so it was a surprise when they found out I had 3 coronary arteries 95% blocked.
Back to my dead heater. The low and high speed settings work, I felt the incoming hose after running for at least 15 minutes and it was cold. The Carhart jacket and warm gloves work. Sorry for the lengthy reply but I hope you and your followers get a chance to read it. Best wishes for Happy Holidays for you and your family. Bob
Very nice, in shit weather you will love the cab.
Got in bit of conversation with good works tractor regarding his newer video. All of sudden he talks positive about Kubota, strange switch. Guess he is nothing but salesman, money talks aye.
Brad
Grand L6060
Thanks Brad, I think I can def get use to snow plowing in a warm cab now that for sure! As for good works tractors its funny you mention that cuz i noticed that too.. When he first started he was all about John Deere and that's when he sold Tractor Time With Tim his new 1026R and now he seems to be becoming a huge Kubota fan. I do understand tho I mean if your a salesman you want to broaden the spectrum of your customers and I get that...or maybe he's now just starting to realize that orange is better than green ;) lol
Great video veryyyy well done thanks.
Thanks Steven! Hope it helps lots of people who decide to purchase this cab.
Looks good great video
Nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
So how good does the heater work? Does it keep you nice and toasty or does it struggle?
I can’t remember which heater I had in this video, I’m guessing your taking about the electric heater that came with the cab? If so the heater worked but not very well.. it worked decent for a hand warmer that’s about it.. it can take the chill off in 40 degree weather but anything under that it can’t keep up.. I have since then swapped the heater out for a radiator style heater that uses my coolant system snd it is MUCH better.. keeps the cab pretty warm now. I have a full install video of that heater on my channel if you want to check it out.. just look for “cab heater install” I think it’s called
Can't see paying over $4000 for the Curtis Cab so will probably get this one next year. I do want the safety glass and windshield wiper plus the heater they offer. I do have a small question about the heater though. The Kubota cooling system blows the air from back to front and Curtis Cab solves this problem with an addition part to keep the warm air in the cab. How do you keep the warm air from the Ceramic heater from being sucked out into the engine compartment. Thanks
Thanks for the comment, I think a lot of people would agree, you just can’t beat the price of an original tractor cab, cheap, nice, and effective! Iv been loving my cab every winter and havnt had an issue yet with it, keeps me warm when I plow too that’s for sure! The heater that comes with the cab tho is terrible.. that electric heater all it does is draw tons of power and won’t even warm your hands really, I suggest going with a heater core style heater instead like I ended uo doing.. below I’ll give you the link to my second heater install video.. also I’ll give you a link for a recent video I just did of how to block off the radiator screen for a cab.. in the video I show you a great way to block it off to keep more heat inside your cab

@@BiffsEquipment Thanks for the info and will definitely check out your videos.
@@kagnewmp12 sure thing man!
Excellent demonstration!!! I just bought a BX2680 and am interested in this cab. Question, is it possible to lower the ROPS with this cab on? I see that you have to attach to the ROPS but I have to go to places with height restrictions. Would I have to rig something up for the ROPS to lower? Thanks!
Hey Nick thanks for watching! It is actually possible, infact they mention right in the instruction manual that if you want the ROPS to be lowered just remove those 2 C-clamp brackets and drop your ROPS down as usual. The ROPS mounts to my knowledge are only there to help sturdy the cab but in my opinion they aren't even needed. Hope this helps, let me know if you get one!
@@BiffsEquipment Awesome big guy! Thanks so much for the info and will do! Love the videos boss :)
After you loosen the set screw in the little collar that’s welded to the door how did you pull that rod out of that little collar? I cannot for the life of me get that pulled out.
Never mind, I got it
I've been thinking about getting a cab, but what is the measurement to the top of the roof? I have to go through a regular size garage door.
Thanks.
Hey Ted, I can’t remember, the top of the cab on my bx2370 sits about 5” lower than my ROPS I believe. Let me know if you need more info and I’ll try and measure it for you. With a 7’ high door you should be ok
Sooo I just picked up a used OT cab 1.5yrs old just like yours #11970 for 650.00us glass windshield heater and wiper. I will be putting it on a BX23s, hope it fits... If not I can easily sell it, it's worth the chance. Do you think it will fit?
Very cool man, that’s a great deal for sure.. the only thing that could be differnt is the rops.. but if you have the backhoe then the Rops should be the wide rops so you should be good to go. The -1 bx has the skinner Rops or some bx’s that don’t have a backhoe.. do you know if the guy you got it from had the wide rops or not? Cuz depending on what he had is what he prolly used from the kit cuz the kit comes with either style rops whether it’s the wide or skinny rops so odds are he used the proper parts for whichever one he had and then tossed the rest.. that’s gonna be the only real difference I think is where it connects to the rops.. you also won’t be able to use or have your backhoe on once the cab goes on but that’s ok cuz you don’t really need a backhoe in the winter anyways
I looked on their website and didn't find anything for the BX 23s. Do they have one available. Thanks mate...
You have to buy the BX2380 cab for your tractor.. You just wont be able to use it along with your backhoe.. It will have to be one or the other that's the only reason they don't list your tractor as it wont work with the backhoe attached. Best of luck!
Maybe some pants man lol 😝 👍🏻👊🏻 hopefully it doesn’t freeze up the windows to much.
Thanks man, Time will tell!
@@BiffsEquipment ya. I just figured with all the welding your knees will get sun burnt 😜
@@msclawnmaintenance funny you say that cuz typically I’ll get a nice roses red sun burn on the side of my leg which was exposed.. lol some day I’ll get a new pair of jeans just for you.. only issue is they stopped making the jeans I like so I’ve been on the hunt for the last year for new ones 😂
I like that cab! I looked at their website which states it WILL NOT FIT BX23s... Any idea why? I understand it wouldn't have backhoe access (out the back), but if I only wanted the backhoe on for ballast, wouldn't the cab still fit?
The cab actually will fit the 23s the only thing is that the tie down points or brackets that go from the cab to the ROPS wont reach so you will have to bend or tweak them a bit to get them to fit.. I have actually seen it done and it works out quite nicely.. If I can find the video i will reply with the link. I would get the bx2380 cab and you could def make it work like others have.. The ROPS is the only difference and honestly you really don't even need the ROPS mounts but they do help to sturdy the cab. Hope this helps!
Here you go Dale I found this video for you of a guy explaining what you need to change or alter to get the bx2380 cab to work on your bx23s

@@BiffsEquipment Thank you! I'm a bit of a fabricator so I was pretty confident it could be made to fit. Appreciate it!
I noticed the cab covers the fuel fill. How do you get around it?
It does cover it I guess you can say but all you gotta do is open the right side door and you can very easily access the fuel cap form there so no worry's. Thanks for watching!
What is the overall height?
Who makes the Cab? How well does it stand up to high winds? Thank you.
Hey Jean, the Cab is made by "Original Tractor Cab" and they say the material can last a lifetime. It can withstand roughly 40mph winds but they suggest not trailering the tractor with the cab all in-tacked they recommend you remove the vinyl when trailering down the road. Thanks for watching!
@@BiffsEquipment Thank you! I checked them out. Not certain if this is the year to go for this cab. I need to do an extension on my garage before I put a cab on the tractor, but it is nice to know this exists!
where do i order a cab i have a bx23s
For the bx23s you actually have to order the BX2380 cab, the only reason they say it wont fit is because the ROPS on the 23s is wider like mine so the brackets going from the ROPS to the cab itself wont fit.. what you have to do is manipulate and bend them a bit to make those 2 ROPS mounts work aside from that it should be a direct fit. I will be talking to the company tho to hopefully have them fix this issue soon. Thanks for watching!

Try to get more views, you will be able to get a new pair of pants, maybe sell your tractor
I already get plenty of views, I have new pants also , this video was years ago when I first started my channel, I appreciate your concerns about my clothing tho 😂👍🏻
That cab looks like garbage
It’s not suppose to be a show peice, it’s suppose to keep you warm and out if the elements and does so being one of the cheapest price wise cabs on the market for what you get. Most aftermarket cabs don’t look great.. even the metal Curtis cabs look very strange on some tractors including Kubota and John Deere tractors alike.. IMO the only tractor cabs that look “good” are the factory glass cabs installed during the assembly of a new tractor by the maker.
maybe should have spent a couple bucks on jeans
Haha, Where's the fun in that?
