Conquering the Elements: The All-Season Advantages of Cabs

Whether you're working the land or navigating rugged terrain, facing the elements on an outdoor job is inevitable. From the sweltering days of summer to the frigid cold of winter – with unpredictable rainy weather in between – equipment operators need reliable protection to help maintain productivity and comfort.

Enter, climate-controlled Kubota cabs. With a diverse lineup of cabs for tractors, RTVs and construction equipment, Kubota can help you fend off the elements and work until the job is done, no matter the season and what mother nature has in store.

Spring: Resisting Rain and Avoiding Allergens

Everyone knows that spring weather is unpredictable. Operating equipment with a cab can help eliminate the guesswork of weather forecasts, offering peace of mind and protection from cool, rainy days. Enclosed cabs can help reduce exposure to springtime allergens as well, making them an invaluable “sidekick” in enhancing comfort and reducing allergy-related side effects that can hinder efficiency. Kubota's full-size gas utility vehicle, the Sidekick, has a dealer-installed cab with optional heat available, making it the perfect companion for seeding and fertilizing, spring calving season, and building fences on those cool spring days.

Many Kubota tractors are available with a climate-controlled cab, like the MX series. During the spring planting season, using a tractor with a cab can help ensure that fields are tilled, fertilized, and planted on time, rain or shine, hot or cold, day or night. The wide, spacious MX series cab features a flat platform with plenty of legroom, tilt-steering, air conditioning and heating, easy access and use of operator levers and controls as well as the ability to accessorize it to fit your needs.

Summer: Beat the Heat

The stifling heat of summer can be a major setback when working outside, but cabs equipped with air conditioning provide refreshing relief. This key feature – available on the, for example – can help mitigate heat-related illnesses like heat stroke and exhaustion, allowing operators to work effectively. The LX20’s factory-installed cab also includes a 4-pillar design with rounded glass, offering plenty of space, and panoramic views of your surroundings—providing excellent field of vision along with the comfort of the cab.
