All-Weather Cab Protection for Kubota BX Series Tractors

Your Kubota BX tractor can help with mowing, snow removal and land care. Yet the weather can make each job hard. Rain may soak your clothes. Snow can blow toward the seat. Cold wind may chill your hands and face.

So, Cab 12078 adds a shield around the operator. The hard roof helps shed rain and snow. Clear panels help block wind. Plus, you can still see much of the work area through the windows.

Rain and Sleet Protection

Wet weather can make tractor work less pleasant. Rain may soak your coat in just a few minutes. Also, sleet can sting your face as you drive.

The hard roof helps keep rain off your head and shoulders. Clear front, rear and side panels help block wind-driven water. So, you can work with less direct exposure.

However, this cab is not a watertight room. Some rain and wind may enter through gaps near the tractor frame.

Snow Protection for Winter Work

Snow can blow back toward the seat when you clear a drive or path. A snowblower may send snow into the wind. So, the operator can face snow from more than one side.

Cab 12078 helps block much of that blowing snow. The roof adds cover from above. Also, clear panels help you see the path ahead.

Use only snow tools that fit your tractor and cab. Then, check all tool and control clearance before you start.

Cold Wind Protection

Cold wind can make a mild day feel harsh. It may blow through your coat and gloves. So, a cab can help cut direct wind around the operator.

The enclosure helps shield the front, sides and rear. Yet it has no built-in heat. Dress for the weather and keep fresh air flowing.

Shade from the Summer Sun

The hardtop can also help block direct sun from above. So, it may add shade during warm weather work.

However, a full cab can trap heat on hot days. Keep enough fresh air in the cab. Also, stop work if the air becomes too hot.

Know the Limits of Weather Protection

A cab can help shield you from common rain, snow, sleet and wind. Yet it cannot make severe weather safe.

Large hail, strong storms and flying debris can cause harm. So, stop work and seek safe shelter when storms move in.

Kubota BX1880, BX2380 and BX2680 Cab 12078 Features

Fully Enclosed Hardtop Roof

Cab 12078 has a firm hardtop roof. It helps shed rain and snow from above. Plus, it forms the top of the weather enclosure.

The roof can also block direct sun. Yet it is not a safety guard against falling limbs or debris.

Clear Shatter-Resistant Polycarbonate Windows

A clear view helps when you work near trees, sheds and fences. So, Cab 12078 uses clear polycarbonate window panels.

These panels help block rain, snow and wind. Also, they help you watch the space around the tractor.

Polycarbonate is a tough plastic. However, grit can scratch its surface. So, clean each panel with care.

Two Hinged Doors for Easy Access

Cab 12078 has two hinged doors. One door sits on each side of the cab.

So, the operator can enter or leave from either side when safe. The clear door panels also help with side views.

80-Inch Cab Height

Original Tractor Cab lists a cab height of 80 inches. So, check overhead space before you drive into a shed or garage.

Tire size and tractor setup may affect actual clearance. Also, check for low tree limbs.

Lightweight 70-Pound Cab Design

Cab 12078 weighs about 70 pounds. So, it adds weather cover without the mass of a heavy factory-style cab.

Yet the cab still needs the correct mount hardware. Follow the installation guide for safe assembly.

Optional Glass Windshield

The standard cab uses a clear polycarbonate windshield. However, an optional glass windshield is available.

Glass can support a compatible windshield wiper. So, check the correct windshield kit before you buy.

Optional Electric Windshield Wiper

Rain and wet snow can block your front view. So, an electric wiper may help clear the glass.

The electric wiper kit is an optional accessory. Check its windshield and electrical needs before purchase.

Optional Mirror Kits

Mirrors can help you check the space beside and behind the tractor. So, a mirror kit may add useful views during work.

Yet mirrors do not replace a full check of the work area. Always look before you move.

Optional Light Kits

A light kit can help you see in low light. So, it may be useful for early or late work.

Use only compatible lights. Also, check local rules and tractor electrical limits.

Optional Screen Door Kit 12207

Warm days may call for more fresh air. So, Original Tractor Cab offers Screen Door Kit 12207 for Cab 12078.

The kit has right and left mesh screen doors. Plus, the mesh can help keep insects out while air moves through.

See the Kubota Cab 12078 Screen Door Kit 12207 for warm weather use.

One-Year Manufacturer's Warranty

Original Tractor Cab lists a one-year warranty for Cab 12078. So, review the full warranty terms before you buy.

The warranty does not make the cab a safety structure. It remains a weather enclosure for the operator.

Kubota BX1880, BX2380 and BX2680 Cab Fitment

Does Cab 12078 Fit the Kubota BX1880?

Yes. Original Tractor Cab lists the Kubota BX1880 as a fit for Hardtop Cab 12078.

The BX1880 is a small diesel tractor. It can help with mowing, snow removal and land care. So, the cab adds useful weather cover to the operator.

Does Cab 12078 Fit the Kubota BX2380?

Yes. Cab 12078 also fits the Kubota BX2380. This model offers more engine power than the BX1880.

Does Cab 12078 Fit the Kubota BX2680?

Yes. Original Tractor Cab lists the Kubota BX2680 as a fit for Cab 12078.

The BX2680 has the most engine power of these three BX models. So, it can serve more demanding tasks with the right tools.

Check Your Tractor and ROPS Setup

Cab 12078 is a model-fit weather enclosure. Yet tractor options may affect fit.

So, check the model, ROPS and mount points before purchase. Also, review the cab guide for the correct setup.

Front Loader Clearance

A front loader may move near the cab frame. So, check the full range of loader travel.

The loader arms and controls must not hit the cab. Also, never remove factory safety parts to make it fit.

Backhoe and Rear Tool Clearance

A backhoe needs room near the rear of the tractor. So, do not assume Cab 12078 will fit with a backhoe.

Check with Original Tractor Cab before use with a backhoe or other rear tool. The cab must not block safe tool use.

Kubota BX1880, BX2380 and BX2680 Cab Installation

Typical 3-to-4-Hour Installation

Original Tractor Cab lists a typical install time of 3 to 4 hours for Cab 12078. So, plan enough time to check all parts and mounts.

The time may vary with your tools and experience. Also, added tractor parts may affect the work.

Read the Cab 12078 Installation Guide

Start with the full cab guide. Then, lay out all frame parts, roof panels and hardware.

Follow each mount step in order. Also, check that both doors open and close with ease.

Find the Kubota BX1880, BX2380 and BX2680 Cab 12078 installation manual on our installation manuals page.

Check the Doors and Tractor Controls

The cab must not block pedals, levers or steering. So, test each control before use.

Open and close both doors. Also, make sure you can enter and leave the tractor with ease.

Clean the Clear Polycarbonate Windows

Dirt and grit can scratch clear plastic. So, rinse off loose dirt before cleaning.

Use a cleaner safe for polycarbonate. Also, avoid harsh chemicals and rough cloths.

Check Cab Mounts and Door Hardware

Loose hardware can cause wear. So, check the cab mounts from time to time.

Keep the door latches in good shape. Also, look for worn or torn weather panels.

Prepare the Cab for Open Transport

High wind during transport can harm soft cab panels. So, follow the cab manual before hauling the tractor.

Remove panels if the manual directs you to do so. Then, store them in a clean and dry place.

The History of Original Tractor Cab Company Since 1939

A Farmer's Idea in 1939

Original Tractor Cab began in 1939. At that time, farmer Stanley Williams needed more cover from harsh weather while he worked.

So, Stanley made a cab for his own tractor. It helped shield him from rain, wind and cold.

Other farmers soon saw his new cab. They too had to work in bad weather.

So, they asked for the same kind of cover. That first cab became the start of Original Tractor Cab Co., Inc.

From One Cab to a Family Business

Stanley knew how hard farm work could be. He also knew how cold and wet the job could feel.

So, he kept making useful cab designs. More farmers saw the value of weather cover.

As demand grew, the company grew as well. Yet its main goal stayed much the same.

Help people work with less harsh weather on their bodies.

Original Tractor Cab During World War II

World War II brought new needs for goods and supplies. So, Original Tractor Cab changed its work to help the war effort.

The company made backpacks and other needed military goods. This work showed the range of its manufacturing skills.

After the war, the company went back to making weather covers for farm and outdoor work.

New Cabs for Lawn and Garden Equipment

Outdoor machines changed as the years went by. Lawn tractors and snowblowers became more common.

So, Original Tractor Cab added new products for these machines. The company grew beyond its first farm tractor cabs.

More homeowners and grounds crews could now add weather cover to the machines they used.

Sunshades for Warm Weather Work

Cold weather was not the only concern. Hot sun could also make long days hard.

So, the company added sunshades to its product range. These shades help block direct sun from above.

As a result, Original Tractor Cab could help more operators through the year.

Three Generations of American Manufacturing

The Williams family carried the company forward through three generations. Each generation brought new ideas and products.

Yet the core goal stayed the same. Make useful weather covers for people who work outdoors.

Today, the company makes hardtop cabs, soft enclosures, sunshades and cab parts. Plus, its products serve many types of outdoor equipment.

Made in Arlington, Indiana

Original Tractor Cab is based in Arlington, Indiana. We take pride in our long history of American manufacturing.

Our products help farmers, homeowners and grounds crews work with more comfort. So, we keep making weather covers for the machines they use.

Cab 12078 Carries on the Tradition

The Kubota BX1880, BX2380 and BX2680 came long after Stanley made his first cab. Yet the need for weather cover remains.

Rain still falls. Snow still blows. Cold wind can still make work feel long.

So, Cab 12078 brings that same basic idea to these Kubota sub-compact tractors.
