BX Curtis Cab Owners Help Needed.......

[Junkman]

Would the owners of the Curtis cabs that fit the BX series of tractors please post there likes and dislikes of the cab and how it fits your tractor. Have you had any problems that had to be resolved, or were not able to be resolved? Close up pictures of the cab from both outside and inside would be helpful. I have only seen one soft sided Curtis cab on the BX, and I don't remember much about it and that is my reason for making this request. How much room is there inside the cab and how close is the right side door when you are operating the loader control? Pictures of the heater and how it is hooked up will also be helpful I need/want a Curtis Cab, but I want to make sure that it is the best choice in the soft sided cabs. I don't care for the Sims design because of the "pocket" for the loader control and only one door, so that one isn't in the running. With Curtis only 30 miles away, I can pick it up and save on shipping also. Thanks..... The Original Junk /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I have a couple of pic's that I've gotten off TBN. I too would like to see some more detail rear pics of the Curtis, maybe the hard version too.

I have the Curtis Cab, and short of having a nice factory cab, it is a real improvement than no cab at all. I'm 6'4, and fit in the cab quite well. I installed an overhead radio that I do hit with my head from time to time, but that is my own planning that caused that. It is not air-tight, so I've stuffed fiberglass pink insulation in the drafty areas. I'm quite happy with it, but as I have said, a factory cab is sweet.

Thanks for the information. What is attached to the front loader arms with the 3 point top link? Looks interesting what ever it is......We love pictures..... thanks again.... Junk...

Junkman (and my apologies to those I've bored before with these pictures), I've installed a 5' blade on the front of the tractor. It was a 3PH set-up that I converted to fit the loader arms. I took the bucket cylinder off as well and used it on this set up as a power angle cylinder. I'll post a couple pictures here, just fire away if you have questions. At one time I had a blade both on the front and rear. I got "smart" and bought a rear snow blower which is great, but of course, I then needed a cab to keep the snow off me. You got to admire an understanding wife..........................

Junkman,
I have a soft sided cab on the Bx 2200 and the only issue is the fuel fill. A poor design-funnel required to add fuel.

Plenty of room-heater works great.

I was going to post some pictures of mine but Av8r2230 saved me the trouble. I've got more but I'm sure you you've seen them as they have been posted her before.

As for dislikes, I don't have too many. The fuel fill is awkward but I bought a little pump to go on my fuel can and solved that. It does seem to make the tractor louder on your ears, too but I use hearing protection.

As for likes, well there's too many to mention! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
