Dave, Did you go to the right site KIOTI - run ahead of the pack! you have to look at the DK series tractors for a cab. they have been making them for years. Mine is a 2001 model and fit and finish are great. I have almost 600 hrs and it still looks and runs like new. The cab is great the A/C will freeze you out I had it on yesterday while bushoging and had to turn it on low. Go to google and do an image search of ( DK Kioti tractor ) and you will find plenty of Kiotis with cabs. Keep looking you will find what you want. Have a great day Frenchie.

Freezing out has not been a problem with my 45, difficult to get it real cold in the cab. I also had problems with the heater, put in a new thermostat but that didn't cure it. Wallace checked the temp going up to the cab and the water temp wasn't warm enough to do a good job.
On the plus side the cabs are built like tanks, functional, with all controls within easy reach. Not overly spacious but built in proportion to the size of the tractor. I have a feeling that front visibility in the new cabs are a big improvement over what I have.

My 55 seems to do well in hot weather. I've had it overload and the pressure relief valve go off, I think was related to clogged condenser. Other than that it keeps me cool and dry. Haven't done much in really cold but I've never gotten cold. A cab really does help fatigue wise, I also like the lights and run at night quite a bit.

thanks frencie for the info. kioti does indeed have what i'm looking for. they even have some options that kubota has that i was willing to give up with a couple of other brands. hope i can go see one soon. have contacted a dealer and waiting for a response. like the telescoping 3pt arms, hyd transmission. thanks again
