Cab and heat for the BX2350

I'm getting older and like warm things now. Who sells a heated cab or has plans so I may make it?

Curtis cab makes one that I find pretty comfortable. Www.curtisindustries.com. It runs about $3,400 installed.

Do a forum search and you can find a number of options. There's essentially a few different cab options available in the US/Canada from Laurin, Sims, Jodale Perry, and Curtis. The Curtis cab is probably your cheapest option. (If you're based in Europe, then other options exist.)

Here's a good starting thread with pictures of several of the cabs installed on the BX2350:

I always like to go low tech and el cheapo when possible. Get yourself a cab and then look at heaters for golf carts. They are gas heaters that run on little LP tanks. I just saw one listed on a golf site for $80. That might be the ticket. In reality, a cab really raises your surrounding air temp without any heat. I find that most times in my cabbed B3030, I turn the heat off because I'm too hot.
Good luck.

Tektite (out of Canada) - makes a pretty slick looking cab for the BX tractors also.

After looking for something at a decent price I gave up and built one. Real glass and heater that runs off the engine coolant for around $1,200. I made it in sections so it can be removed in warm weather.
