one reason I asked is, I cannot hear my cell phone ring...I do carry it when I'm operating in the field. I was wondering if a CB might be a better option.

Your phone must vibrate harder than mine, as I usually can't tell the difference between it and the normal oscillation of the tractor.

If you can't hear/feel a cell phone ring, doubt you'd hear someone holler for ya on a CB either.

I agree. I miss calls all the time.

For me at least, it's because my phone is in my jeans pocket. A CB would probably be heard. But sometimes I'd rather not be disturbed anyway. So I'll stick with the Cell Phone. :)

I picked these up for when I'm tractoring. They vibrate when the phone rings and are also great for listening to tunes from your phone. The mic does pick up too much noise from the tractor to talk on them with it running, even at idle.

They do require a phone with Bluetooth.

We connect an external speaker to the CB, it is plenty loud. I'll try to get a pic of the setup on our ford 3000.

Put it on vibrate and stick it in your pants



pocket.

I work in and extremely loud environment and many of my coworkers us those. Seem to like them. They sit nice against their collar bones under their shirt.

Just and ordinary $7 set of earbud headphones will allow you to hear that phone ring, and you can play music from it as well.. Not a whole lot of investment. They also act as hearing protection from the tractor also.
