Your videos bring joy into my day. You are upbeat and obviously love talking about tractors, and i love learning about them. Well done.

@ritterjon 4 года назад

Thanks Brian, glad you enjoyed it! Keep on tractoring!

@kentskogerson9589 2 года назад

Thanks for that! I am looking at a bx23s locally, lucky to have found one. The one reason I didn't take it home yesterday was the dealer was not familiar with the Curtis cab. I found your videos yesterday and now sold! I will probably have to wait for it but as long as I can get a cab I will purchase the 23s. I have been doing snow removal on my property (5 acres) for 30 years...now 75 and have never done it comfortably! Always a raging snow storm with reduced visibility and frozen when I'm done! I'm going for it! Nice videos series and thanks for sharing!

@botabob 4 года назад

A really nice cab. You don’t need a cab until you do. I don’t generally plow when it is snowing, but when you need to leave for work and it is a wet snow or drizzle, you learn that a cab would be a nice addition. Cheers

@ritterjon 4 года назад

Or even if the wind is blowing which is frequently does around here. I enjoy being on the tractor without my fingers and toes freezing. Keep on tractoring!

@rvnmedic1968 Год назад

I have a Curtis cab on my BX2370 and love it. I take the doors off in the Spring/Summer and put them back on in the Fall. I need a rear view mirror and found one on the Curtis web site. That's the next mod. You do some great vids. PS: we had 4' of snow last week. I left the FEL on the tractor to see how that would work and it was good but I had huge banks of snow on the sides of the driveway. Wouldn't have been a problem with the usual amounts of 6-12" at a time. Cheers, Bob (45 miles NE of Syracuse, NY)

@JeepinMaxx 4 года назад

Great video tour of the cab, nice explanation of the airflow. I always new about the engine & cooling, but didn't realize the advantages it provides with the cab on. I like how quick the doors come off - just like my Jeep!

@ritterjon 4 года назад

I’m not sure Curtis new about that cool air flow advantage when designing the cab. It sure worked out well however. I’m very pleased with it! I miss my Jeep! 😁 Keep on tractoring!

Thunder boom!!! Most sub compact tractors are reverse engine. The JD1025R does have the forward engine. Love the cab.

I the Kioti is set up similar to the Deere which surprises me kioti is very similar to Kubota in many ways. Are the LS and TYM both reverse air flow? Keep on tractoring!

@khtractors 4 года назад

That was some great demonstrations and explanations of the cab! I hadn’t ever thought about the reverse air flow helping pull air in the cab! I have 3 days left and then back to school. Had Google trainings all week this week so I’ve been behind on watching RU-vid!

@jh9855 4 года назад

Nice video! I almost bought a BX, but decided on the B2650 HSDC. Both great machines. I previously owned a John Deere 3320 and had a Curtiss Cab that I would put on in the fall and take off in the spring. After 13 years of on and off I had enough and decided on a factory cab. Keep up the videos! They are so useful and make me smile.

@brianelias2994 4 года назад

I like my cab too but my little pet peeve with that air flow is when I’m rototilling. When it’s dry out and I’m kickin up dust guess where it goes. Sucked through the windows or the back when it’s open. After tilling 1 3/4 of a acre. Me and the inside of the cab are pretty earthy lol. Have to keep the side windows closed, back window on and just leave the roof open. Dust doesn’t get that bad. Or when it’s really hot out just take the doors right off. Believe it or not I get less dirty. Still can’t beat this thing during the winter. Blocking off the rad sure helps keep it warm inside when it’s bitterly cold out. You have to do me one favour thou Jon. The big rubber seal between the cab and the left hand side fender has to be fixed on yours. Back off the screws that hold the back plastic to the door frame and tuck it up in there where it belongs. It’s been annoying me ever since you got that tractor lol. Mine showed up the same way and I fixed. Carry on.

What’s not clear to me is how the heat gets to the cab fan system. Is it electric or hooked into the engine coolant?

It is hooked into the engine coolant system. If you seen the two hoses running up in the cab when I was showing the radiator and fan you’ll see what I mean. Keep on tractoring!

I wish the Curtis Premium cab looked this factory for the JD series. I ordered the one for my new 2025R and I wish it had cleaner lines.

@thall6076 4 года назад

Why I like the bx the air flow is opposite than other manufacturers, my brother has the john deere 1025R and I played with his other day and his exhaust blows on your feet and in your face, iam no fan of it, excellent job kubota for doing things different!!!

@ritterjon 4 года назад

I don’t know why John Deere decided to do that. I’ve been on one myself and you’re right. Have hot air blowing on you in a hot day doesn’t make it very comfortable. Tell your brother he needs a Kubota! 😁 Keep on tractoring!

The New Holland workmaster is also a reverse fan I've been tractor shopping for a while I want a subcompact with a mower loader and front snow blower I think I'm going to go with the New Holland I like the Kubota but I do not like that treadle pedal (the forward and reverse pedal) I like a side by side pedal like the rest of the manufacturers have

@ritterjon Год назад

I do have this issue and I guess it’s something I’ve gotten used to. I also wish it would rest vertical instead of the top. A suggestion I might apply would be an additional toggle switch to stop it either at the top or side. I would if a different windshield wiper arm with a bend would help at all. 🤔 Keep on tractoring!

@eosjoe565 4 года назад

It appears like when you open your hood, the grill makes contact with the brush guard (@2:06)

@ritterjon 4 года назад

Yeah, I guess it does, there is some plastic molding there that keeps it from scratching. I'm not crazy about the new 80 series grill guard. I like the guard on the older series better. However I do like the way the hood opens vs the old style, trade-offs I guess. Keep on tractoring!

@CorkeryCoop 4 года назад

It’s not the best design. If you don’t pull the brush guard forward, the headlights will press against a plastic edging and push the brush guard forward. Eventually that will leave scuff marks on the headlights. If you pull the brush guard forward before before opening the hood, it doesn’t make contact.

I'm not sure how old your cab is, but I'm curious if you have noticed any wear and tear on it yet? I had my dealer install a hard cab on my Polaris Ranger UTV, and after a couple of years cracks started to appear in the hard plastic(s) that make up the cab and doors. My UTV is used on a farm, so the conditions are harsher than the suburbs, but I'm curious if you think that it will last the life of the tractor?

I ordered a BX23S with cab, mower deck, Terra King MCS, and weights from Messick's. It was delivered almost a month ago and broke down during first use after 15mins. They came and picked it up after a week and have now had it 3 weeks. Still not fixed and have already made the first payment. No loaner or compensation. Second guessing buying a Kubota. They are saying it was a radiator problem during cab installation. Dealership is reporting Kubota doesnt have a fix. Surprised though knowing you have similar setup?! Any suggestions?

Think I may get a blade for the tractor though, might be of more use than the snow blower, and I don't think I'd better try a snow blade on the my lawn tractor, I don't really think the hydrostatic transaxle would handle pushing that too long.
