JOY RIDE! CAB Zero Turn Mowing Lawn with Air Conditioning! BETTER THAN EXPECTED!

[@Kcolby47]

I found your observations about your dad insightful, and I agree wholeheartedly. I understand even more as I advance in years, there are things that I choose to afford, even though it may not make sense to others. In past videos I could appreciate how much your dad enjoyed his cab tractor. Sometimes it’s a blessing to enjoy the fruits of our labor, even when others don’t understand. Blessings.

[@paulciampa]

Tim you and Christie are so great together and truly blessed to share your lives with the community. May you both continue sharing what is truly true love for one another. My wife ans I just celebrated 40 years together with many more to come. Be safe and God bless

[@frankhartmeyer9841]

Tim and Christy of all the KZbin videos I watch I truly enjoy watching your videos. Great job. Have a blessed day.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Thanks for the kind words, Frank! Appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@RCPSU4]

Awesome mower! Anything to keep the dust down is a big help (I've got some allergies also). The cab does give something else for me, a way so nobody has to hear me sing.

[@ritterjon]

The longer I know you two the cooler you become! Enjoy that machine! Bring it up here next. *Keep on tractoring!*

[@FletchDoesIt]

That’s a pretty slick trick cab!

[@malcolmcavalier7849]

You can't beat a Ventrac for trimming around trees and dealing with hills. Each mower has something that it does really well, that's why you need several. 😀

[@JimFinlayson]

Quick zero turn story - I used to drive around in circles like early in the video. My wife said “why don’t you stripe the yard like the neighbors?” - striping cut 15 minutes off of my mow time of 1.5 ac mowable of 2 total ac.

[@randysavage8963]

Let’s get started . Thanks for the video Tim

[@Keith.Zielinski]

August in Indiana and that cab is gonna be worth it's weight in gold!

[@Doobie2100]

Great video Tim!

[@timraber6575]

I looked at those at the Equip Expo. They would also be great for a high end golf course. Thanks for showing this one too us.

[@johnspenn2172]

That's a good looking cab! Much better than I expected.

[@misterp158]

Awesome. Having mowed last week for 4 hours straight in the hot and dusty environment, I am jealous. Good Stuff, thanks for sharing

[@7pdude]

good approach with the unloading! way safer than ramps which can unexpectedly slip away or can make you realize they're too steep when you're already past the point of no return ...

[@eosjoe565]

Wow... you weren't exaggerating about it being expensive. A $22,000 mower with a $11,000 cab (without options or installation cost). I'm sure there are folks down south who would love the tinted windows and A/C. BTW... I couldn't help noticing you tearing up grass on a lot of turns by doing a true "zero turn". That is something that is hard to get used to not doing. I wish you would have shown INSIDE the cab and some more of the features instead of just watching you ride around the entire video.

[@Motoxr32]

Be nice if it had heat too!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

I think it will be warm enough in cool weather. Probably shouldn’t be pushing snow with it anyway….too heavy.

[@tretre1692]

My employer bought a $40,000 mower without a/c…. Hustler 109” i think it is.. I rather have that…

[@1194video]

I could just build a cab with ac added for around 2k for any mower if I wanted it personally

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Go ahead.

[@vollmarfarm]

I think a front mounted deck on a grasshopper mower would be a great candidate for one of those Curtis cabs. Great video. keep up the good work.

[@Totalyrediclous998]

The winner of the ice zero turn races. Tim. Very nice 994. Wish I had more land. But getting the 930r with the 54" MOD deck. I think the rear discharge deck would be great on your property. Great video both of you.

[@On_The_Farm]

A cab on Vinny would be awesome too. Nice looking setup though on the Deere.

[@bradolsen8629]

Tim that unit on your lawnmower looks more like something a beekeeper would use

[@jddriver9565]

that thing looks awesome!:) ohh Tim, Christy likes it, time to buy it!😆

[@JonsDailyHustle]

That cab would be essential for the larger open land area mowings

[@Formulabruce]

Please discuss the CAB AC INTAKE air filter maintenance, and or replacement, Thanks Tim !

[@TractorTimewithTim]

You can see the filter from the rear.

[@Formulabruce]

@@TractorTimewithTim Is it washable or cleanable or replace only? some places have lots of fine clippings and pollen in the air, TY

[@tucksmith8300]

Looks good Tim

[@PastorDavidFranklin]

Well done Tim and Christy. Nice addition with the air conditioned cab. Tim, didn't realize you where that tall. Hey great episode with the young men and woman (1) examining the hydraulic systems on the 1025's. Enjoyed.

[@tonywilliams424]

That looks pretty good😊

[@projectswithjw]

Since that engine as a matching AC compressor, Deere should really make an option to put it on 1025 / 2025 cab machines.

[@charlesshapland1986]

I have too many obstacles that would beat that thing to bits on the mower, but if that was the way they built their cabs for tractors, style, construction, visibility, and AC, I would seriously consider adding one to my 4 series JD.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Agreed. Not sure why they don’t build an all glass cab with a/c for tractors. Likely cost.

[@tcmits3699]

SpaceX space suit, heat, a/c and filtered air. Haha, maybe even music

[@jagx234]

Another use case would be someone like my step dad that owns a lawn care business and rides a zero-turn for 6 or 8 hours a day. It would probably make more work possible since you kind of got to stop when you're out in the middle of nothing and its 90-plus degrees we've been doing it all day and you're mid-60s in age :-)

[@forceon959]

Just got ours in on the 1211 Kubota and did a first cut with it this week. Will take some getting used too. Biggest benefit - no more grass and pollen in my face while cutting. A/c seems ok. Mirrors kinda useless with how much they shake. And windshield reservoir in the way of the cup holder a bit if you use a bigger tumbler. That and the limiter where the a/c won't kick in unless your around 70% of throttle. Was gonna yank that swtich off but the mechanic said it might not have enough magneto power to charge the battery if I run the 1/c too low. Gonna jump out the swith/rod and see how much juice is being pulled. Maybe i can run it at 40% and still charge ok. if not voltage regulator might go poor. I think that got swapped along with almost the same alternator. But would be nice on a hot day to turn on the mower and get the cab cooled down before cutting - without having thr throttle running almost wide open just sitting there

[@ryanmortland795]

Tim and Christie, I got a z997r with the 72” deck for sale. Just under 300 hrs. Inherited a second 997 is the only reason I’m willing to part with it.

[@randywhatley9174]

I would love to see a comparison video of this mower vs. a cab tractor with a mid mount mower and talk about pros and cons and prices. Would a cab tractor be more economical? Also, an inside tour of that mower would be sweet! How do the controls for the ac work? Is it quieter in the cab so that you wouldn't have to use ear protection? Thanks for this video.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

It is not a sound isolated cab. Requires hearing protection.

[@Morpheen999]

I think for the money a setup like that costs, You can get a Compact tractor with a cab for pretty much the same money and have a lot more capability... Sure the zero turn is faster, but whats the rush once you have AC? :)

[@bjenkins803]

Thanks for the review. I'm considering buying a cab tractor to mow our property with but if I can save quite a bit of money I may consider a setup like this. Then I could keep my current open tractor for the big stuff. I guess the only thing to get used to is not being able to look directly behind you when needed.

[@jdfleetguy28]

Great video Tim! Even the very very expensive Cab Deere 1585 commercial front mower lets a little dust and dirt in, based on some of the video s by owners I have watched. I am still thinking I may buy a 1585 at some point, may trade one of my tractors for one at some point, whenever I get to the point I feel all the really big projects are pretty much done. I really like the Deere 1585 over Z9 even a Z9 with a cab, for one it has a steering wheel vs the levers, it has 4wd which in past ownership of a diesel Z9 they are terrible about getting stuck and they can't hold a slope worth a darn, so the 4wd is a must for me.

[@dropshot1967]

I have run the bigger john deere professional mowers and I was always happy they had a cabin. That meant I did not have to wear a dust mask. People forget that mowing in dry weather throws up a tremendous amount of dust that you inhale if you don't wear protection. I know people that prefer an open station mower and they do have advantages but I prefer a cab.

[@JohncMorrison]

Good looking tractor 😊

[@bradleymcclintock7771]

Nice awesome I love it 😊

[@Tapthatsugershack]

Definitely different. Looks like a Crain cab and I agree the cab would make it ride nicer

[@jonathansotheradventures33]

Great Video. I Have this same model of John Deere at my work. and I too make tractor Videos. Yet again Great Video, Keep it Up.

[@forcetenheatingfueloil3418]

Trying to get kubota to order me a diesel zero turn with one of these cabs. Lead time is pretty long for both right now. Come on Neil, get some in stock!

[@johnathanmorgan1146]

Tim, thank you so much for your videos they are entertaining and informative can you please do a video on the small Deutz tractors (if possible) I am looking at possibly buying one later and I like how you are not biased and tell the truth again thank you so much for your videos God bless

[@TractorTimewithTim]

How small are they? Last I checked, they were a bit large for our channel.

[@johnathanmorgan1146]

The one I saw was a 2030 e we had one years ago it was 45hp this was back in the 80s and 90s and I had recently seen that deutz fahr was coming back to the US if it is not possible I understand thank for the response you all have came along way from cultivating potatoes in your back yard 😀

[@turdferguson5300]

This is an unrelated topic but beneficial. I wanted more traction from my 920 zero turn so I heard the plastic hub rear wheels were the way to go. Have you priced those things? Rear wheels for the mower were more expensive than the Nitto tires on my truck so that was out. I came home and started letting air out of the rear tires. I found that 10 psi gave the mower a much better ride and improved traction. As long as the air pressure in both tires is the same it mows level. We live in the SE Tn. hills so traction is important.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Yep. Same is true on a tractor, bicycle, car, etc.

[@lcee6592]

A very awesome product. Have to say those cabs reminds me of Bot Wars! lol. Would definitely be worth it for less dust, pollen and cool air!

[@halsnyder296]

I'm amazed at what you flatlanders call "rough"! 😂

[@watershedoverlook]

I like it. (Can't afford it, but I LIKE it!) 👍

[@jonathanfrantz8384]

As a person with allergies but finds mowing enjoyable this would be a great addition. Unfortunately you have to go big with the mower in order to get a cab.

[@stevenmcintosh3303]

Great video. I'm more interested in the zero turn than the cab tho.

[@lakewooddr3586]

This is dope 👍🏾

[@ryancronin1488]

I can’t wait until we get our new cub cadet pro z 700 zero turn mower, because we need to get our grass mowed before it gets out of control, and Tim, if you want you can come down here to East Tennessee and cut some of our grass for us

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Would love to!

[@AdamMuhle]

Air conditioning in April. Lol. We had a high of like 41F today. 😂

[@buckhorncortez]

You need to put a Zglide front suspension on the zero turn and do a review of that modification.

[@rcguymike]

Idk if you'd be up for it but I'd really be interested in you trying the green works electric mowers, they have a commercial line that's fairly expensive too if you have a lot to mow

[@JCWren]

Looking at your mowing overlap at 18:15 vs 18:30, looks like you're overlapping about 12" on the 18:30 pass, but not on the 18:15 pass. Was that intentional?

[@eshott2935]

I would love keeping the sun, dust, and random branch to the face. Great idea and I ca see becoming more mainstream. Especially when you think of the huge 144” zero turns being built.

[@joeydepalmer4457]

I would love to put this style of cab on my old John Deere Saber lawn mower (even though it is no longer a riding lawn mower)

[@BossPrepping]

this just proves how soft we have become.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

I be like being soft!

[@markwinnicki8802]

hi Tim I can really use a John Deere mower like that with that cab hey ol buddy send me one of them bad boys

[@liltaz1225]

i wonder if you could buy an aftermarket cab and use one of these a/c systems with the 2038r? I know john deere doesn't make and a/c cab for the 2 series tractor but i really won't to try to make it work. how hard could it be haha?

[@heartland96a]

It would be interesting to see how they installed the drive etc to power the AC

[@Oscar-mc8gj]

And we still have snow on the ground!

[@brianfrye5016]

I could totally see that setup for a city or municipality, or a golf course. We put several hundred hours on a zero turn mower a year. Being out of the sun and protected from the dust would be sweet. The only thing that would make that better I’d if it had a 96” cut like the commercial Toro does.

[@harleythrelkeld7587]

i see tim writing a hefty check lol

[@iowaoliverguy]

I have several very steep hills, that thing looks very top heavy.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Funny thing is, it doesn’t ‘feel’ too heavy at all. I tried it on some slopes off camera. Did not notice much if any difference. Of course, I am not a ZTR expert.

[@JohncMorrison]

My dream tractor 🚜

[@TractorTimewithTim]

It is quite nice!

[@golfaddict75]

13:05 She thought about running over you Tim! 😂

[@michaeldugger6964]

❤❤❤❤❤❤SWEET!! did a quick search for ventrac all i found was discontinued cab

[@TractorTimewithTim]

They offer a cab, but it does not have A/C. It is for snow removal.

[@wink9970]

TTWT should have tractor allowances between trees. Its Fundamental!!

[@JonsDailyHustle]

I'd love to get my hands on a big zero turn with a cab like that

[@TractorTimewithTim]

It is really nice!

[@rodstanley881]

I own a zero turn mower John Deere 930 m it’s a very rough ride the next day I am sore I mow at least 6 acers of grass

[@drayne3750]

Tim, how does the cab perform when you rip a huge fart?

[@Thecowboy1950]

Yep tractor time with Christy

[@derrickdrew17]

I think a 72" will be ok if you cutting light grass but with only 24hp you try to push it in deep grass it just dont have the power. My last city i worked at has 3 JD997 and we can lug it down with a 72" deck and they are over 35HP.

[@Jjason601]

He driving it like a old riding mower🤷🏼‍♂️just enjoying the air

[@raceneely8185]

Do you still have this? Would love to see an update. Considering it. Tired of grass blowing on me when mowing. Figured it might work for mulching leaves in cold weather too. Although prob getting close to the 1585 factor cab mower?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

I do not. Intended to do one more episode on it, but ran out of time.

[@stromxtc2033]

How about a follow up video with in cab footages, decibel level, HVAC controls etc.

[@BobsOutdoorActivities]

Cool video. I own a John Deere Z540m with 54" deck. I love it. But I feel every bump in my yard. I will roll my yard twice this Spring. Zero's are great, but their overall ride... as you mention. Also the blow over of grass and debris onto my feet and legs is bad at times. But the speed I can mow :-))) I look forward to the next video. PS: My Zero is just gas :-( haha

[@jackbrunner4126]

It must sure be hot in Indiana. You are being so careful with that cab that you are driving so slow you might as well go back to a lawn tractor. I usually am moving a lot faster on my zero turn. I can’t remember getting too hot. I always assumed it was from the breeze.

[@certified68crazy3]

You have to remember we as a population have become more ( Delicate ) than in the past. LOL.

[@BossPrepping]

this proves how soft we have become. this is ridiculous

[@thomasrose6880]

It’s somewhere around 29,900$ for a Ferris 3300 series with a Curtis cab I believe

[@coltknight3945]

I love riding my zero turn

[@charlesmartin8047]

You're right about the ride. My neighbor has the Z735 and my 1023e with a finish mower on the back rides much better.

[@mattbarker7739]

That's a great setup, just wondering if it's actually cooler in the cab then just running a fan tho

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Oh yea!

[@shanes481]

11k if anyone's interested. Sounds great for some rich guy.

[@jordankash1456]

Does the cab make mowing slower at all, or is the cab light to where it doesn't matter.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

No, it does not make mowing slower.

[@carpeinferi]

As someone who mows wearing a N99 respirator most the time a cab would be nice even if it didn't keep out all the dust.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Oh, it keeps out most of the dust.

[@helloeveryone906]

Look like there's enough room for a flat screen TV 😂

[@jamessmith2668]

I've always said that in Texas don't buy any vehicle even a riding lawn mower with out air conditioning

[@stromxtc2033]

$32,000 ( w diesel), but if you are a contract mower in some form or another (employee retention etc), could be something to consider.

[@unclealansyard5176]

I wished the zero turns had bigger wheels to help the bounce you were saying

[@jaywuchner9342]

On another subject, what are your thoughts on the Summit T25 tractor?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Why do you ask? Don’t you trust the used car salesman from which you heard about it?

[@barelystablefarm7151]

@@TractorTimewithTim 🤣🤣🤣 well to be fair Tim you did buy a Johnny from him! LOL. I wouldn't mind his business model IF his prices were not insane. You can find just about anything he sells much cheaper elsewhere. It's not like he provides service after the sale..

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Many years ago, he traded me even. Since then, I have wised up.

[@MikeD1199]

Seems like he covered his thoughts on generic off brand tractors on another video.

[@RealJeep]

What a perfect Florida open field mower. However, I'd bash the cab in the first time I got too close to my many trees.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Will be interesting to see how tough it is.

[@markpontes4457]

Vinny runs an 8ft mower with same hp so it should handle a 6ft no problem!

[@kevingebert4316]

Wow it's awesome but thankfully they don't have one for my hustler super-z because it'd cost as much as mower itself. I'll just have to keep wearing masks for allergy season.

[@mikebreazeale2563]

I want one of these asap! What is the status on this unit? Thanks for sharing...

[@TractorTimewithTim]

This particular one? It is still here, but may go to a trade show later.

[@michaelfinney2160]

Nice but too costly for most folks unless you still want to mow and have health issues where this cab and a/c would really help you. Looks like the mower deck doesn’t flex side to side as much as some 60 inch decks. Stay cool, have a Blessed Day

[@MustangsTrainsMowers]

Next it needs a heads up display.

[@GrampysTractor]

They needed to add the suspension to the front wheels and that would have taken some of the bumps out too. You can't complain about tree limbs too much since you trim the height of low branches to the mower you use most of the time not what you're testing out. Your yard is looking great, too bad the grass up front didn't make it through the winter.

[@charlesshapland1986]

Tweels would also make a huge difference on the ride, one of the best options I ever added to my Z.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Tweels not supported with this cab. Remember, tweels have very specific weight rating.

[@in-oq3sx]

For lawn care operators, I'm surprised there is not a cab sprayer setup. To keep out the weather and away from chemicals

[@jaxturner7288]

Can’t apply any liquid products and very few granular ones during any real weather like rain or high winds so the professional applicators out there aren’t concerned with equipment performance during inclement weather.

[@ronniejenkins4633]

I am guessing that you will get to use the zero turn probably the summer, having the you tube channel helps, I think that is a good idea, if you can afford it, I personally don't have deep enough pockets to get a zero turn, I can buy a good used tractor for the price of one of those, I would check one out though, good video.

[@jdmastertech]

We got a customer with a 1025r with cab. Has a window ac and a Honda 2000 to run it
