Home-Built Cab Makes Kubota Cozy

Home-Built Cab Makes Kubota Cozy TRACTORS Cabs With plywood square tubing Lexan glass and a nice paint job Bob Holt built a cab for his Kubota tractor that keeps him cozy when he plows snow in temperatures as low as 20 degrees below zero He has an electric heater inside but rarely uses it “I needed a cab and wanted to buy a Kubota cab but the price was hard to justify so I built my own ” says the Colebrook N H resident He used thin wall 1-in square tubing to build four sections for the frame The back section fits on the roll bar with nutserts and he bolts the other frames together He built the walls and door out of 3/8-in plywood and used Lexan for the windows He welded a 6-in hinge on the tubing to hold the door Holt notes he removes the Kubota roof assembles the cab and replaces the roof in about 25 minutes He only uses the cab in the winter for plowing snow and hauling firewood The rest of the time he stores the cab sections inside a building Protected with good automotive paint Holt expects the cab will last for years; and it only cost him about $400 “It works great ” he says “I know a guy with a smaller Kubota who wants me to put one together for him ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Bob Holt 30 Holts Ave Colebrook N H 03576 ph 603 494-5596
