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 LX20 Series, 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.
Fall: Comfortable Harvest and Hunt
During the demanding activities of fall, comfort is crucial. Cabs with advanced temperature control systems, like the spacious cabs available on the Grand L60 and the L60LE series, maintain a comfortable environment inside, which is essential during the long hours spent in the field, woods, or yard. And as fall mornings and evenings become more crisp, a heated cab can provide extra warmth and comfort to operators.
Kubota’s RTV- X1100C – the first utility vehicle in the industry to offer a factory-installed, climate-controlled cab – is a great option for completing a variety of fall jobs outdoors. Built around a unibody frame, the cab incorporates highly efficient heating and defogging functions, as well as antennas and speakers for an optional radio, keeping you dry, comfortable, and informed, no matter the weather outside.
Winter: Warmth and Security
Winter’s harshest elements, like sleet, snow, cold, and wind, can be ruthless. Cabs equipped with heating systems – like that of a dealer-installed BX Series cab – help shield operators from bitter cold and precipitation. Navigating snowy and icy conditions while performing winter tasks – like plowing snow – are completed in comfort and security in a heated cab.
All-Season Advantages
Beyond seasonal defense, Kubota cabs are designed with comfort in mind. Adjustable, ergonomic seats and controls allow operators to customize their environment for maximum comfort during long hours of work outdoors.
Another key feature is noise reduction, which can help prevent distractions from the operator and lessen operator fatigue. This is especially important in the construction sector. Learn more about the benefits of construction equipment cabs and how they can meet business and operator needs.
