I'll be the guinea pig. I'm going to have the dealer install one on my Kubota L6060. It'll help with working in the heat, but also help keeping the dust and insects off me.

Yea, I was wondering what the current draw was. Can't put a fan that big on my ZTRs. That is a heck of a current draw. Maybe too much for most open station tractors and if you have a cab with a large alternator you don't need it.

This Ventrac just passed my trailer cutting grass at the power plant I'm working at. Looks like it has one on it.

I did it again. The cooling fan I added to the B worked so well it was time to upgrade the "lawn mower". Now the location of the ROPS hinge poses a significant problem. The fan has to mount to the top half but, can't mount to lower half if you need to lower the ROPS. After significant mental...

I wonder how loud that fan is. I know my shop fan drives me nuts
