How well does the air conditioner in a Kubota L series cab work?
I live in Central Texas and this time of year it is often too hot to work in the mid-afternoon direct sunlight. With a cab I might be able to save some work in the open fields for the afternoons and use the cab.
I hope to find a Kubota dealer somewhere nearby in the next few weeks with an L w/ cab, ask the dealer to start it up, and hop in and see how it feels. But in the meantime, what does the collective wisdom here say about the cab's effectiveness? How many degrees cooling below ambient can it achieve? And for others up North, how much heating can it achieve?
Finally, about how much power does the A/C use? I've always figured that a car's A/C takes about 3-5 HP to run.
Any other comments or drawbacks worth considering, besides the higher initial price increased maintenance needs of the cab equipment (A/C, etc)?
