Hey from Big Sky Country Montana…Received delivery of my Curtis Advantage Cab about two weeks ago…Grandson Nick helped me assemble the main portions of kit. Only real issue was the plumbing and a different configuration at engine attach point…Resolved with dealer assistance - advice. Snow storms are returning this afternoon. Your video was a blessing from heaven…! 😊 Dave

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Glad to hear it

Hello from Big Sky Country Montana….My Curtis Advantage Cab Kit was delivered yesterday afternoon - 1/8/2024. The box was heavy!!!! Used my 1025R loader to maneuver in garage..You were 100% right on, material were professionally packed… Slowly, I unpacked; took about two hours…working last evening and bury early Next step is to start in one step at a time. By the way, your video is on my home and ready to view. David Great Falls, Montana

Hello from Big Sky Country - Central Montana. Here is an update relating to 1025R Curtis Cab install. All went well given the fact it was my first and only attempt at can install. I did replace radiator thermostat to 180F from factory 160F. I have had five occasions to plow driveways in -10F weather. Needless to say, I did wear winter attire. Totally comfortable in cab. While going through the cab install, I had a heavy reliance on your video; it was well done…I say again, thank you! I do hope Curtis made it worthwhile for you!!! God Bless Dave Great Falls MontanA

Glad it helped

Hi Brock! I recently bought the Curtis Cab for my 2032R. I watched this video countless times before and during the installation. The instructions from Curtis were good but watching this video helped tremendously, especially the wiring part. Really like the channel and thanks for this video.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Glad to hear it helped. Congrats on the cab

[@JohnnyBubbz]

Its nicer being out of the weather. Awesome job!

[@tweivoda]

My new Curtis Advantage cab is supposed to ship the second week of September. My new 2038R is supposed to be delivered next week. This video will help immensely. Thanks Brock for making this video.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Congratulations on your new equipment. Thanks for watching the video

@@RockhillfarmYT Brock, I tried to install my Curtis Cab on my 2038R and ran into a problem and wanted to get your thoughts. I hope my request is appropriate on your KZbin channel. If not, please ignore my request. You have a great channel. My 2038R has the Deere third hydraulic valve option which "stacks" the third valve on top of the hydraulic couplers for the front loader. The hydraulic lines from the pump to the third valve interfere with the Curtis "A-pillar". There is not enough room between the hydro pedals and the lines to the third valve to allow the A-pillar to be installed. I posted some pictures over at the Greentractortalk site. I have been thinking of replacing the hard lines with flexible rubber hydraulic lines with right angled connections to try to give me more room. Curtis Cabs suggested modifying the front A-pillar to make the necessary room. But for now, I can't install my Curtis cab. Your thoughts? Again if my request is inappropriate please accept my apology.

[@RobertSmith-yb5on]

Made call today to purchase an Advantage Cab for my 2018 Deere 1025R. Great video; you hit a home run! God Bless from Big Sky Country - Montana. By the way, in stock and shipping today. …-20 F today and through this weekend!

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Awesome. I’ve had mine for around three years and I’m happy with it. Not perfect cab but for the price pretty good value.

[@Banksplayz]

Woah. This is such a detailed video. Great process. My favorite part of the cab you chose was the Heating.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Thanks. I have been happy with the Cab

[@miloferrari5245]

Hi Brock, I bought the advantage cab from Curtis and found your video very helpful. The instructions that are sent with the cab are good,but it helps to see a hands on example. Thanks again for the video.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Congratulations on the new cab and thanks for watching

[@rodneyscrivner2504]

Great Job Brock, Curtis ought to use this video on their website.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

I’m all for that. I sent them all the footage

[@adamdaly5250]

@@RockhillfarmYT I agree! Your step by step approach is awesome! Being new to the tractor world, would be great to see you stepping through 10 hr and so in service on the tractor and implement, specifically the brush hog.

[@wlsteffen]

Thank you for the very detailed install video! Very easy to see how to install and wire. Thank you, wayne

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Thanks. I tried to make it easy to follow

[@maxfall2093]

Nice job! very clear and accurate with one very slight correction. At 46:56 you indicated all of the lights are connected in SERIES. The correct term is connected in PARALLEL.😊

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Thank you for watching and for the correction.

[@khtractors]

This will be very helpful for someone planning to install this type cab!

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Yeah, not much entertainment value for everybody else but I was hoping it helps those people

[@khtractors]

@@RockhillfarmYT if it helps one person do the job easier it’s well worth the effort of making the video!

[@kennethrini2932]

Great video and install Demo You gave Me a lot of ideas for My own attempt at adding a topper My Garage opening is only 81 inches high so I can't leave the ROPS up I bought a few of those hollow plastic EZ Go golf cart tops off of FaceBook Market Place for My 2 Tractors and 2 Riding Lawnmowers ( 4 for $80.00 ) I will have to make mine so I can raise and lower it to get in and out of My Garage Seeing the front frame assembly and the rear plates clamped to the ROPS have given Me a Great starting point for Fabricating something useable Thanks

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Cool. Good luck with your Build

[@peterkober6758]

Brock great job wish I had seen something like this when bought tractor probable would have did it myself God Bless All PaK

[@RockhillfarmYT]

It’s a good thing lower cost option

[@WichhartAcres]

Sweet! I love Cab Vids!

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Thanks I’m quite happy with the cab so far

[@johndeno562]

Neet job, looks great.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Thanks I love it

[@jimhaugh6851]

Very nice looking forward to the door options and a measurement from floor to roof top would be nice thank you

[@RockhillfarmYT]

The videos are coming next week for the other doors As far as the cab height, on mine it is 83 1/2 inches but the best way to measure it is height above the floorboard because your floorboard might not be the same height as mine I’m pretty sure they have that on the Curtis Industries website for every tractor model. On the 2038R and 2032R it is 60 inches above the floor board

[@tweivoda]

So Brock, I am installing my Curtis Cab this weekend on my 2038R. I would like to leave the ROPS folded so that I can keep the tractor in my garage. Do you think I can install the main supports posts (that attach to the ROPS) with the ROPS folded? If the ROPS has to stay in the upright position then I will have to intall the cab (and keep the tractor) in my pole shed. Thanks. Your installation video is going to most helpful.

[@p22070]

I would like to have the cab on in the winter, but remove to have an open station in the summer. Would this cab be an option for that?

[@TrapperSamm]

The only thing I would try is the floormat at around 8 minutes in. I would put the floor mat on top of the door frame because it's going to be slick if you don't.

[@NRFA21309]

Would this fit into a 7 foot garage door height? Thanks.

[@outdoorswithjim207]

Hey, what is the overall height with the cab?

[@EOTG_AK]

I'm curious how well that heater does to keep the glass from fogging up on really cold days.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

I’ve only ran it once when it was cold enough to fog up and it cleared in a couple of minutes It heats up in there pretty quick

[@mickey17y]

Are you able to keep your ROPS mounted Artillian tool box on the tractor after installing the cab?

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Yes. The video that I released this morning I cut down a tree and I have the cab and the Rops toolbar on. I think I may have shown that in my other video about the cab

[@MagmaTrevor]

Wow I was told from dealer the original tractor cab was the only one available. My Dealer definitely steered me in the wrong direction when it came to ordering my 2032r and Gator 835M Honor. Missing so many packages that I was told wouldn’t work that I see now totally do.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Yeah, this is a good well priced cab option. I have had it for a long time and I have a long-term review out on it. Spoiler alert I like it. I put out videos almost every day about what you can do with this tractor.

[@1fastcamaro]

Hi Brock! I received my New Curtis Cab for my 4120 John Deere Tractor It came in a stiff carboard box framed with wood. 6'H x 7'L x 1'-6"W. How did you go about opening it? Did you lay it on it's side or open in standing up? I just don't want anything to break in it when opening.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

It seems like laying it down would make more sense but I specifically remember doing it standing up. It was all pretty well packaged inside of there and we didn’t break anything Congrats on the cab

[@ChristyRoberts-f1l]

Why didn't you wire the heater to the switchbox? Why did you do direct to battery? I'm installing mine next week so need to make a decision.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

It’s been over three years ago, so I honestly don’t remember. It seems like we were just following the instructions that came with it Probably because it has its own switch in a convenient location. I’ve been really happy with the cab. Very durable.

[@ChristyRoberts-f1l]

@@RockhillfarmYT Ahh, got it. Thank you for the response. I enjoy the channel.

[@ElkCreekAcres]

This was a damn good thorough video Brock, I've been toying with the idea of cab, or an upgrade to a 3R with a cab. Not sure if I want to make that jump yet, price point on them is quite a jump. Is it safe to assume I could put a fan in this cab?

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Yes sir. I have 2 fans in mine It would be nice to have an air conditioner but you’re talking about a very expensive cab at that point. I’d love to have a 3046 with a cab but not ready to spend that money I tell people that this is like owning an older jeep. We used to have a jeep and we only put the doors on it in the winter. It stays really warm in the winter, and the rest of the year you have a windshield and a canopy basically so it’s not like it’s hotter than an open station. you actually have shade

[@JeffreyGordonTheTank]

Little confused about the rear window. Looks like to open it you have to break the tape seal that holds part of the mat under the seat. Am I seeing that wrong?

[@RockhillfarmYT]

You tape Velcro onto the back window and the mat is Velcro On the edges. You are simply undoing the Velcro between them. It’s done that way all the way around the mat so you can actually remove that whole back mat if you want to When I do the video comparing the different door options I will make sure to remove that back glass on camera

[@justinlane1287]

What is the height to the top of the cab from the ground highest point and can you still fold your rops down

[@RockhillfarmYT]

The Rops still fold just like normal. The highest point on my cab is 83 inches, but the best way to measure is from the floorboard Curtis lists height from the floorboard on their site for every model. On the 2038R it is listed as 60 inches. I measure it as 59 on mine

[@justinlane1287]

@@RockhillfarmYT okay I was just wondering if it would fit inside of a 7 foot garage door

Looks really close on my exact tractor, but I don’t have a 7’ door to check it with

Fir tree plugs

[@marlinkojak9882]

you leave the roll bar on you are not going to get in a standard high garage door with i think it is 80 in

[@RockhillfarmYT]

The ROPS will still fold and I think it will fit in a standard garage door. Don’t remember exactly how tall the top of the cab is

[@brandy2t]

You didn't show anything on the cabin sealing in the front.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

I’m not sure I know what you mean about sealing in the front. if you’re talking about the actual frame of the cab it’s got that big overhang I have a drip rail that prevents leakage. If you mean the doors they have the weatherseal already on them

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Or, if you’re talking about the front window it has a really thick weather seal on it and when you pull down on the handles it tightens down and compresses that seal.

[@Hossss1987]

You do know your shirt is buttoned up wrong?😊🤦🏻‍♂️

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Nope. It’s been a little while Since it was recorded thanks for pointing it out though

[@Hossss1987]

@@RockhillfarmYT it’s all good. Wanted to see if I can use the Curtis cab with a backhoe. Found a vid where the guy had to make a small mod for it to work ! Nice vid. Thanks

[@RockhillfarmYT]

There may be different versions of Curtis cab so that answer could vary but I use mine with the backhoe all the time. Actually the video that I put out today I was digging with the cab on Mine has an easily removable rear glass which makes it work. Let me know if I can help with anything else about the cab
