BX25 Cab offerings

Jeff H · Apr 28, 2012

Does anyone know if Kubota still offers the Jodale Perry built, Kubota BX6730 cab?

Does anyone know if it will accommodate the backhoe on a BX25 with or without modding?

Does anyone out there in TBN actually have one?

Does anyone out there in TBN actually have a Laurin Eclipse cab on a BX25?

Does anyone out there in TBN actually have the new Curtis 1KBX25AS cab?

Can anyone share pics of any of these models? Looking for some nice pics from real owners, not the low res stuff that is on the manufacturers sites.

Seems to be allot of talk about cabs, many pictures of nice home made cabs, but little in the way of first hand accounts of these cabs on TBN.

Thank you in advance.

The above cab does not appear to be a Jodale Perry, Laurin, Curtis, or Sims.
Nor does it appear to be home made.

I have Googled ad infinitum with no luck.

Can anyone help to ID it?

Yup... sign me up for one of those buckets :thumbsup:... that looks like about 18 inches or so.

according to google translate, the guy built the "cabin" himself and he looked to laurin cabs for an example. also he says its a 16 inch bucket he was using to fix clogged pipe.

If that is a home built cab, it is very nice craftsmanship. I wish I could see it in person.

I hope this BX25 owner finds tractor-by-net.

This video shows the cab even better.

Well if Mr LeBlond's cab is home made and not available, back to my original question.

Do any TBNers out there actually own a Laurin, JoDale Perry, or a Curtis 1KBX25AS on a BX25?

If so can you share pictures and anecdotes?

Thanks

Couldn't comment on any of those, but as Barnone mentioned - Sims has a cab for that model ( soft or hard doors ). Couple pics on the (page). Sims employee here (new to TBN) - I can answer any questions you might have

For anyone around New England, there is a used BX Curtis cab on the NH CL .... or at least there was a couple days ago.

Hello All
Happy Thanksgiving
Just checking in and asking again, does anyone out there in TBN actually have the new Curtis 1KBX25AS cab? Would you be willing to share your experience?
Please an I am not asking for the link to the manufacturers website, I can find that on my own.
Thanks

As it just so happens I just upgraded to a BX25 with the 1KBX25SS a couple of months ago. My old BX2200 had a Curtis cab as well. I realize that the cab you are asking about is the "hard sided" version but the rest of the cab should be pretty similar. I am impressed with the cab over all and personally I wouldn't bother with the extra money for hard sided as the soft sided doors come off very readily if you want extra. I think the only weakness the cab is going to have from what I can tell is that the rear curtain snaps to the frame which leaves air gaps all around the edges. Other than that the cab is very well built and very roomy feeling. I'm short enough so that the pop up top isn't really a benefit to me but it works real easily. I haven't used it in the cold yet so I can't yet say how the heat works but the heat in my old cab was adequate and this heater has 5000 btu more so I'm assuming it will be better. One more thing I should mention is that you will need to fill the fuel tank through the back curtain, or at least that's the only way I can see to do it.

Hope this is helpful.

Thank you for your reply. Yes the rear curtain is something that I am concerned with. I would rather see a removable rear panel with a glass window. What is the purpose of the octagonal cover over the fuel cap?
Thanks

You know, I really haven't got a clue! LOL. I agree with you, a solid panel would be nice. They don't offer it though. I thought I might get a roll of foam weatherstripping tape and tape around the snaps to seal the gaps.

Here's a couple more pictures. If you want more info or pictures of something specific let me know. The brochure and online site leave a lot to be desired I found.
