This page shows the different cabs that they offer.

It looks like 1,000 euro converts to about $1,375 US dollars. Not sure we can use this as an accurate idea of what that cab would cost here since the price they show on the base machine (without FEL) converts to well over $19,000.

When I go to the website, it shows 3990 euros for the cab.

My dealer was $12,200 for a 2023 with loader and $15,200 for a 3033 hydro with loader.

Thanks Olympus - I'm not sure I can justify the 25% jump to get into a G3033H. Especially knowing that the J2023H will probably do everything I need.

Yep, which would convert to $5,500. My point was that the pricing displayed on that site probably isn't an accurate representation of what something like that would cost in the US.

would the skidsteer 4-in-one bucket 54"(390 lbs) bucket from Everything attachments or would that be too heavy for the J2023H? thanks

You can only use a skid steer style bucket if you also add an adapter, which adds more weight. With the adapter the set up would be pushing 500 lbs and that would need to be subtracted from the loader's capacity. Depending on what type of material, you may or may not be able to fully use the capacity of the bucket.

Wish your dealer was closer to me.

That would be in line with what I was told about putting too much load out front and up high. It could cause the tractor to become tipsy - like tip over forwards. Imagine having a similar setup with forks and a heavy load on it up high. Whups! Tail end of the tractor is now up in the air. Not a pretty sight to see I'd expect. Bit embarrassing to the operator even if they didn't get hurt. :ashamed:

I couldn't either. That's why I went with the 2023.

I commented on the LS Facebook page about the cab. Hopefully they'll respond to me.

Looks like I may have to upgrade. Had a kubota l4310hst and was looking for skidsteer 4-in-1 capability and backhoe. I was planning to have a backhoe on the ls 2023h if that would make a difference... Looks like I may have to upgrade.

Me too - maybe now they'll start selling them here since 2 guys asked about them! :thumbsup:
