Curtis Industries Releases Air Conditioning for Kubota BX70 & BX80 Tractors
Curtis Industries, LLC has announced the release of a compact air conditioning system for the Kubota BX2370-1 & BX2380 sub-compact tractors. The system uses patent-pending “dynamic load control” software to precisely manage the vehicle electrical power, allowing the unit to operate on smaller vehicles with lower horsepower. The A/C unit features a stylish, low-profile design that is integrated into the vehicle roof. Easily accessible unit has fully self-contained refrigeration components and comes pre-charged with refrigerant. The Curtis air conditioning system installs in about two hours. A custom overhead console features 3-speed fan control, illuminated on/off switch and four, 360-degree adjustable louvers to circulate air throughout the cab.
