B2601 and BX2380/BX23S Model Cab Options!
✦
Overview
A dealership walkthrough comparing two cab options for the B2601 and BX23S: an Orange Aftermarket soft-sided cab (~$2,000, $2,500) and a Kubota-branded Curtis hard cab (~$8,000, $9,500). Covers installation time, heating performance, structural differences, summer usability, and a few quirks like the tricky hood latch on the hard cab. Useful for B2601 or BX23S owners weighing winter cab upgrades before buying.
