I searched high an low and have only found the Sims option which is very high priced. Seems like there are other companies out there like Original Cabs but they don't show anything for Kioti. Surely there are options for hard and soft cabs by now.
Direction and pricing would be appreciated. Pictures would really be great.

Thanks...Makato

I wish... /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif The only one I've ever heard of is the Sims. I've been hoping for an update from KiotiKevin, he bought a Sims. Not sure how he made out with it. Others have reported that the Sims can be an aggravating experiance to install.
You would think that with the enormous popularity of the CK25/30 models that Kioti would offer a factory hard cab. hint, hint! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
If they did I'd grab one up in a heartbeat!

Sent a note to originalcab.com. Seems to be comprehensive for many tractors whether hard top or windbreaker but there was not Kioti. Possibly they will come back with something or look into making them.

Hi Guys,
As usual, I apologize for taking so long to bring people up to date on my last post regarding my new Sims cab. First of all, I don't regret ording it. It cost me a total of $2800 cdn including tax & shipping, not a lot of money in my opinion for a quality product. They shipped it right to my garage door. There was some problems with instructions ; I phoned them and they explained what parts I did't recognize and where they went. Some parts were missing and they sent them no trouble. I also had a couple of problems with parts that need modification. Keep in mind they rarely hear from the end user like me and Bill because usually dealers order them for customers and any modifications that are needed, are done in the garage without Sims or the customer knowing there is any problem in the first place. I believe my time on the phone with the Sims people has benifited the end user. As a result, the problem Bill had with the door handle not keeping the door closed is solved - they created a new one that fits very well. I also purchased a cab heater that needed modifications to some parts they worked them all out with me and even knocked a few dollars off to compensate. The heater kit is well worth the money. Everything you need is there, lots of heater hose, adapters etc. I haven't got all these things together yet because I haven't had the time (the story of my life). A lot of this stuff is basic common sense with at least being somewhat mechanically inclined and you have the necessary tools to work with and that's not many. I would highly recommend installing yourself if you enjoy being around your Kioti, like I do. If anyone decides to install this cab yourself I will be more than happy to help where I can. I read the posts almost every day, I just don't have the time to get into the diologue ( I wish I did). I will make sure I respond where I can help so don't hesitate. I can only speak to my CK 25 (ck30). I have lots of pictures. I'll post them when I can. Any more questions - just ask.

Kevin

Thanks for the info. I personaly was looking for a lower end funtional solution as 2k and given the issues doesn't quite fit the bill. I'm sure when I'm freezing this winter I'll have other thoughts.
Got a quick response (below) from "OTC" and it wasn't very encouraging.

We do not make anything for the Kioti line. Our attempts to work with
Kioti
to develop a cab, have all fallen flat (they are not interested).

You might try contacting Femco at 800-677-0898 or Valu-bilt at
888-828-3276.
One of these companies might have a universal cab that might fit your
tractor.

Good luck with your search.

Sincerely, Gary Vandagrifft
Original Tractor Cab Co., Inc.

I know what you mean. I have my ck25 just over a year and experienced the snow & wind in the face. I couldn't afford to get a cab right away, heck I can't afford it now but squeeked through anyway with the help of my wife. When your ready you will have a special appreciation for what ever type of cab you get. Good Luck and I believe you have chosen the right machine as well.

I checked out fremar.com who make enclosures for more industrial machines but they have a fork lift section that have soft cabs the fit over a roof. I requested some info on dimensions etc. to see if this could become an option with some minor retrofit effort. For me personaly, I'd like to find something that was easy on/off.

Thanks

While looking for a cab for the CK20 I am looking to purchase, I came across this website with cabs for a ton of different tractors.

<font color="red">www.cabdepot.com</font> - The link will take you to the CK25/CK30 cab page. Apparently it is a new product and there is no price available yet.

Here is a picture of the model for the CK30 and CK25

Hope this helps.

I believe this is the one KiotiKevin has installed but he would be better qualified to answer that. The picture is the Sims cab.
I have traded several messages with a rep from Fremar Covers and they appear to be interested in the expansiveness of the Kioti community. Hey, were talking about a $400-$800 option and based on what is on their site, the quality looks pretty good with options. To late in the year to get any fab done but this may turn into something for users and dealers next year since they sell through dealers. If you view their site, they acually have developed a couple 3 sided soft cabs for the other orange tractors L35 and L48.
