MX Cab Question

[cold1313]

Any options that you wish you would have gotten with your MX cab?

My main concern is rear remotes. I currently don't have a need for them - I'm guessing these can be added on later, even with the cab on?

I don’t have an MX but it’s usually cheaper to have dealer do it when you purchase. I have 1 remote and wish I had gotten 2.

Air ride seat. I’ll repeat…air ride seat.

3rd function.

Well, I don't know if this will make you feel any better about your seat choice but i put 2200 hours on a l6060 with the factory seat and when it got traded for a new one i got the grammar air seat... and its no better in my opinion. The only thing about the factory seat is the springs started squeaking like crazy later on with no way to fix it.

Other than that, the tractor i run now is pretty much as loaded as it gets with 3rd function 2 rear remotes, rear defrost and wiper etc. All that stuff can easily get added later. The things I would avoid having the dealer install are a radio and work lights because they are easy and cheap to do yourself, rear defrost because the lines through the glass will screw up your vision if you do much 3pt work, and the air seat as mentioned because for the price it really doesnt make the ride any more comfortable. Just get a nice padded seat cover.

I like luxury of our air ride seat. Our JD has one of the real aftermarket Grammers and it is excellent. It gives a softer ride with good damping on rough ground. Air ride keeps my 70+ year old back in better shape and now I think that is real important. Although when I was younger different tractor seats didn't seem to matter much as long as it had one.

The Grammer air ride does have a downside. When I get on the tractor for the first time each day the seat height has sunk lower by about a foot. It takes running the 12 volt seat air compressor for about a minute to bring the seat up to normal height and inflate everything.

I have seen reports that Kubota's air ride seat is different from the original Grammer. But I've never tried the Kubota version so cannot verify one way or the other.

Adding rear remotes isn’t necessarily hard to do. But doing it on a cabbed machine will be a royal pain when running hoses just because you’ve got a lot of panels and bulkheads you have to mess with. The other thing is cost. Look at what it costs to add them with the purchase vs adding then via kit later, I think that will help your decision making.
