I am most likely going to mount a curtis or sims cab on my Kubota for next winter. I use the Kubota to plow a large condo complex & I am constantly back blading a half inch off cars, buildings & garage doors etc. I am wondering if the cab with effect my view at all with the blade? I am constantly hanging my head a little to the side to get a clear view of the edge of my blade. Any input would be helpful.

Based on our experience, other than being able to stick your head out over the fender, there is very little difference with or without a cab.
That may be different with cabs that have large pillars or areas of sheet metal instead of glass.
The visibilty with the factory Kubota cabs is excellent, both doors and the front window have indivdual vents to keep them clear and the two back corner windows and rear window have electric defroster strips. There are wipers front & rear. The rear corner windows flip open for ventilation and the rear window flips up wide open. The factory cab also includes A/C which can be run to dehumidify the air in the cab, and there is a fresh/recirculate air intake selector as well to further help with dehumidifying.
Just as a point for thought, our fleet is a mixture of factory and aftermarket cabs, mostly just because they only bring in so many cab-equipped units in any given year. Dollar for dollar, the factory cab is a better deal IMHO. You get a better cab for nearly the same money, and get the 'extras' as a bonus.
If I had an existing tractor I was thinking about putting a cab on, I would seriously look at selling the existing unit and buying a new, factory cab equipped unit.
These units hold their value so well it is amazing how little it sometimes costs to upgrade to a new unit.
Best of luck.
