A friend on mine has a one year old 100hp Kubota tractor and it get so hot in the cab you can't stand to drive it. The windshield glass gets so hot you can't touch it with your hand. The A/C works fine but won't begin to keep it cool. Is this normal? Does Kubota make some kind heat shield? Any Ideas?
Inside of cab is Really HOT??????

Yep, model would help, our M8540 cools fine.
Some people tint their cab windows to cut down on radiant heat.

Check both heater hoses at the bottom of the cab and see if the are hot. I have found a couple that the heater hose water vavle is not shutting off. The heater will over power the AC.
Cabs are naturally hot. Best advise I can offer is tint the windows. Even just 35% will help and it really doesn't hurt your night work. All my side windows are done in 20% and nearly my entire windshield is done in 35%. I ran out of tint so my back window only has a strip across the top but it still makes a big difference.
Other thing is keep the condenser washed out good and make sure your cab air filter is clean and sealed properly so dirt and trash can't get in the system.
