Thanks. Read the blog. Laurin is working on a design for the L47, as per email from them this AM.

I added a Lauren cab to my L39TLB this past spring. Didn't get a sense of interest from TBN. Had some issues, but made adjustment. If seriously considering Lauren, let me know for my feedback. Rob

Thanks Rob. Waiting to hear from Laurin regarding their fabrication, shipping costs for the L47 cab.

Whelp.....called a Curtis dealer. Got a price on cab, rear panel, and rear remote adaptor plate. Price included shipping, and installation. Thought about overnight, and called dealer today to order. He called back about 10 minutes later, and told me Curtis cabs will be in production next year. WTF?

 

[mikester]

They probably build them after they get ordered. My Laurin cab took 8 weeks...that might explain next years production of your unit as we are already half way through November.

I know that my BX25D is a lot smaller than your L47 but I have a Curtis Cab on it and am very happy with the fit/finish, use, etc. I installed it with some help from my Dad and leave it on all the time, just remove the doors and rear window for the Spring/Summer/Fall.

He told me they were in the process of moving into new, larger space for fabrication. Supposedly to be in production sometime in December.

Thanks for the lead. The guy sold it 3 yrs ago, and doubted it would be able to adapt to my new tractor.

Sorry, ...

people ought to police their listings after sales.

A good friend of mine is one of the floor boss' at Curtis and yes, they are moving one town over and into a new larger facility instead of several old brick buildings that they operate out of now

Curtis told me two days ago they are already moved and in production as we speak. If I placed order right now it would be ready for shipment end of December.

This works for me. You can try 803-603-2824 (Phiillip) to see if any more soft cabs are available.

Parked in our Equipment building, just waiting for snowflakes. I have a manual windshield wiper on order also.

 

[RichM752]

Ordered today, 4-6 weeks for delivery. The dealer I purchased tractor from, took over a month to give me a price on equipment, but would not commit to final price including labor. Another dealer gave me final OTD price which was 600 cheaper than "my estimated" cost from original dealer. You snooze you loose.

Did you get heat and ac?

 

[RichM752]

Heater,defroster, and wipers, but no A/C available with unit.

 

[Peter 315]

Doors come off ? no ac will be hot in the summer

Yep, I'm hep to that. I'll explore cooling options after winter. Remove doors, open windows,circulation fan, and perhaps tint windows. And I usually quit working by 11AM or 90 degrees, whichever comes first.
