Happy New year everybody! I got to spend the second day of the new year on my tractor moving snow while it was around 0 degrees Fahrenheit IN A CAB!
I bought this cab before Original Tractor cab released their dedicated BX23s cab design so I had to improvise on a couple of steps to make it work.
The end result kept me nice and cozy on a bitter cold day.
The temperature in southwest Iowa this day was around 0F and a windchill of around -6.
I was concerned with the glass fogging up without a heater installed but that proved to be a non issue.
Here is a vid of the install and a some clips of me using it. I am working on editing the video of me moving all of the snow.
I still have a windshield wiper that I need to install.
Let me know if you have any questions about it!
Enjoy!

I have the same cab. Dont worry about the new BX23S cab its likely the same as what you have except for different brackets. Heck the new model still wont let you use the backhoe! :rolleyes:
The free heater is junk dont wase your time. I put a Jeggs heater core in mine and its toasty in there. If you do put a heater in yours you need to block off the screen below the steering wheel as it sucks all the heat out of the cab. Theres removable plates either side of the battery to let air into the rad. Im sure you noticed the cold air rushing in from every opening! BURRRR! I had to make brackets from top rear of roof to the Rops below where it folds down so I can still fold the rops to get in the garage. Enjoy!

Great video !

Looks like a nice cab.

If you know, or have time, I'd be curious as to the height in inches. (from floor to the top of the black plastic roof)
I have to lower my ROPS on my BX2380 to get in the garage, but that slightly lower type of cab might be doable. (my garage door is lower than most)

TIA !
