Great cab. Nice unit.

T33? You pilot those golden oldies? Always loved the looks of them.

Thanks guys, just one night of this made it worth it for me.

I was about to do the curtis cab install myself. Looks not too hard to put together.

But dealer would only take off $300 if they sold me the cab compared to them installing it. For $300 I am letting them do it.

Once i see it with the doors and back off I will see if I will keep the cab on all year round - or take it off in the spring and put it bac k in the fall.

My dealer wanted to charge me $700, so I did it myself and used the money to purchase all my add on lights.

Someone sent me a PM, on how do you use the backhoe with the cab on?

Here is the picture that sold the tractor for me. The back wall comes off and the roof tilts up for head room. We all know that the seat rotates backward for backhoe use.

Just came across this thread, and when I the tractor cab roof lift up, I immediately knew where they got that idea from. When I was discussing a cab for my BX22 with them, I sent them a picture of how someone on TBN had modified the cab for a BX2200 to fit onto a BX22, by raising the roof in the rear. They told me at the time, that to have the roof panel raise up, would effect the structural safety of the cab, and they would advise against it. I bought the BX2200 cab anyway, and since I am not that tall, the roof isn't a problem for me.

Not really designed for easy on and off
