Finished installing my cab on my 2014 kubota X900 the other day. Ordered my Boss V Plow from Joe Jr at Red's Garage in New York on Friday. So I am now waiting for the V Plow to be shipped and will install as soon as it arrives. Will send pictures as soon as I install the Plow.

As many have stated it would of been better to order all at once, but I wanted to pay as I go. If I had to do it over again, it would be all at the same time.

Bottom line though it will be a little nicer pushing snow this winter.

Except for having firewood ready, I'm not ready for winter. :(

The RTV doesn't get anything special but need to put the blade on the tractor.

Lawn furniture, clear gutters of leaves, store equipment, winterize engines... all needs to occur.

Started yesterday opening areas into the woods to push snow. Last year we had a lot of snow before I bought the 900 and I fought finding places to push it. I now have a lot of run out room.

The good news, now That I'm ready, we'll probably have a normal winter with much less snow.

BTW, It's nice to be able to throw a chain around an 8-10' oak log and just pull it where you want it. Couldn't do that in the past with my ATV's, gotta love the 900 RTV.

My RTV does not see much use in the winter time. I do need to replace the 11 pin connector on my plow and pickup and I will be ready for winter. Just fixed the window in it last week. The road salt took out the metal channel for the rollers after 17 years. Damn plugs and harness will be $250!!:hammer:

Tom B,

Here are some pictures of the cab you receive if you don't order it with the vehicle.

Really nice looking cab. I can see where I would put a few knots on my head due to the pneumatic cylinder location!

Looks great..... Kubota should buy those pictures from you. They are better than any I could find from them.

Was at my dealer on Monday they told me the cab I received would be the cab you would get if purchased when ordering new. They said the x900 doesn't have a "cab" option when purchasing. You can get the Curtis cab as a aftermarket option. That is what I have.

That is one nice looking set up. I wonder if that is a better way to go than ordering the 1100 with a cab. I bet it would end up costing more in the long run and no air conditioning would be the only other thing. It sure looks well built.

I believe it is a toss up, the 1100's have more features, I just didn't want to spend that much. The cab is very heavy duty, the doors will come off in the summer. I do however like the roll down windows on the 1100 series. The guys who have shown their 1100's have some great looking vehicles, but I am happy with mine.

That's a good looking cab. Like your pup we have a wiener dog along with a gray towel that thinks the passenger side belongs to her also.

I start drooling everytime I see your setup. I had the Curtis Cab on my 2008 900 and was overall pleased with how well it was built and all the benefits it gives for winter use.

Nice mirrors.

And of course the Boss is there so no alarm system needed.

Very nice.

It seems fine to me. I see a couple of little gaps by the front of each door, nothing a little weather stripping will not seal. Also mine came with a piece you put in the front compartment to seal most of the air that comes through the front grill. (not all, but most). The OEM heater that I bought works pretty good also. It comes with 2 defroster vents and 1 vent to go into the cab. That vent is situated beneath the instrument panel.
