L47 cab options

[OntheRidge]

I posted this query once before with limited results, looking for cab options for L47 TLB. So far I have found 2, the Curtis hard cab, beautiful but out of the price zone at 10k, and this, at around 2k. Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

Yup, I have been searching for an hour, not many options. I was hoping someone here had the magical answer.

Other than DYI your options are very limited.

No magic answer that I know of. I have run a fair amount of equipment with Curtis cabs and they make a nice one. During the 60's and 70's when there weren't many cabs on tractors there were several company's that made them there long gone now. I have been around more than my share of tractors with what I would call plastic cabs. Wouldn't own another the plastic windows get scratched to easy. If it were me on that tractor I would build some metal frames put glass into them and have a tarp company make some panels to fill in for a door and between the windows.

The other option is to take the machine to an auto upholstery shop or a tent and awning shop and you them custom make a soft side cab. It may or may not be cheaper than the other options you have located.

I'm guessing not cheaper.

It depends. You already have a roof with 4 posts. I would think the tent and awning shops could easily make some strap on panels with plastic windows. Couldn’t hurt to ask.

If $10K is too much, sell your tractor and buy a model with an OEM cab.

There's no free lunch

I contacted Sims Cab Depot today. They make cabs for about any Kubota except the L47.
I asked if any could be modified for the L47.

Short answer. No

If you have a 'sun shade' aka roof, maybe consider just adding a windshield ?

I did that for my BX23S,just angle iron and polycarb BUT it STOPS the wind and rain and drizzle from beating me down ! 4 sets of nuts and bolts and it comes off in the Spring.

Worst part, only a few years ago the Curtis cab was just over $5k.
