Bad Boy air conditioning

[Batwingbadboy5055CS]

I have the 5055CS tractor and use the 12’ batwing clipper. My AC is almost worthless when it’s hot (90+) and sunny. If it’s cooler or cloudy it seems to work pretty good. Is there a problem with it or am I expecting too much? The cab is like a green house or more like a sauna when hot. What are your experiences? Thanks in advance.

I don’t own Bad Boy but my experience is similar, tractor cabs have a lot of window space so bright sunshine definitely cuts down the cooling effects of air conditioning.

Different tractor, but I have to keep the AC condenser and radiators clean as a whistle for my AC to keep up while bush hogging. I take a leaf blower with me and leave it beside the field when I know it is going to be bad. Back at the shop I use an air wand and a water wand to reverse flush everything occasionally. There are detergents to help break the schmoo up when it is time for a deep clean.

The greenhouse effect is a thing. Some guys tint their cabs. I wish I had some kind of window blinds like you see in heavy equipment.

Also you are sitting on top of the transmission which is sub 200 degrees or so while running hard. Engine fan is pushing heat back at the cab as well.
