08' Kubota L3240 HST /cab
Been moving snow with my L3240 /cab and can't seem to get all the windows clear from fogging up . I move the vents around and can get the front window clear and 1/2 of the doors but the two conner windows won't clear . Back window has the window defogger so that's not a problem. This is the first year that I've owned the tractor so I'm still getting use to it .Didn't know if anyone has the same problem with there's, or is this just normal? . I did noticed that there is a wire coming down at the top of each conner window , could they be used to install window defoggers on them to?

I found that turning on the A/C along with the heat kept the cab dry and the windows clear. I had the same problems as you until i figured this out.

Yup, dehumidifying does the trick.

I expect your air controls are the same as on the B3030, if so then make sure the selector lever above/behind your head is set to bring in fresh air and not just recirculate the cab air. If that still isn't enough then you might have to run the fan at a higher speed to move more air. Also, the selector lever that is adjacent to the temperature control lever should be set to the defrost setting so air will be forced out the small vents that point at the top of the doors.
The only time I have trouble with the windows fogging is if I have been cutting, splitting and loading firewood and am on the verge of breaking into a sweat. I try to avoid having that happen:rolleyes:.
If you are sweating and fogging the windows turn the heat down:D.

Thanks for all the advice! :DI never thought about the a/c or trying the vent to bring in fresh air :confused:. By the way,does anyone no just what the wires are used for thats in the top of the conner windows ?

If it has a cab, heater and AC, maybe surround sound? :)

JK, but might be for speakers a previous owner might of had a radio in it or more than likely flashing rear lights or flood lights that could be installed.

I was having the same problem with my L5740. Even with the A/C and vent turned on the windows were fogging up. I found that when I open the back window just a crack the windows would clear up almost instantly. All you have to do is just unhook the latch and it lets enough fresh air in to keep the windows clear.

We have about 12" -18" on its way this weekend so I'll get a chance to try out what you said along with some of the other advice I've been given ,thanks !!:D:D
By the way, Do you have wires coming down from the top conners of your side windows ? [these are on the inside of the cab] I do have a radio but the speakers are mounted in the top ,so I don't think that they have anything to do with that.

Perhaps you are talking about the wires for the defrost? Other than that I don't recall any other wires on either of my tractors.

Once you are warm & comfortable back off the warm setting setting and set to coolr air flow. Keep the rear vent set to fresh.
