Have been looking at used machines and a lot have cab and heat I would like air also. Is it possible to add air to a machine that has just heat?

Anything is possible, it just depends on how much you want to spend.
I have an S150 that i don't believe had the option of air, but it has it. Looks like it was a factory kit as it was an option for other models.
There was a style that mounted to the roof of the cab, there were hoses that went to the compressor. Simple to install, but a unit like that could be costly.

Tazza, Thanks for answer. I thought someone might have added air on this site. Guess I will call some dealers and find out what is what. I know it will cost but to me it would be worth it. Ron

Tazza, For information on adding air to skid steer. Called dealers and found out that a kit is available to add air to a skid steer. New Holland told me around $2200 if they do it. You can buy kits online for around $1700. If you are handy it can be done in 4 to 8 hrs. So price from NH is not too bad if you can't do it your self. I am looking at a used NH 2008 L170 with heat. A kit is available for it. Ron

Glad you found out they are available for your machine, $1700 seems like a lot to me, but for all the parts, i guess it's not that bad.
