I put in a radio and subwoofer. it was easy to remove the roof cover to run the two RCA cables. Sounds so much better with the little 6.5" powered sub. The worst part was running a wire to the battery but with some thinking, it worked out well. (fused at the battery terminal) New speakers as an upgrade since they are now two way changed the audio dynamics. Love the sound. I do not like earbuds and/or anything stuck in my ears so this was my only option. Since the roof cover was off, I installed a couple of amber flashers on a switch for when roading to get fuel. (Fuel station is down the road) The slow moving sign had to get relocated down a bit since its factory height would not clear the 8' shop door. This required a notch on the sign to clear the rear window when open. I tried to load a video but I guess there's no option to do so.

I have a radio in my Kubota and unlike the home radio where quality audio output is desired, the tractor radio with it's small speakers sound a bit 'tinny' but I don't care as it serves it's purpose just fine and in reality I don't turn it on often anyway. I'm more concerned with safe operation and doing the task at hand that listening to a radio in the first place. In reality for me, just a distraction. It does have a built in clock and weather band I do look at and listen to infrequently.

absolutely agree about the distraction part, tractor work and partying should be separate

Partying??!!! LMAO. There's no room to dance in one of these! I worked the entire day in pure comfort. Loaded a 40 yard dumpster from a previous homeowners debris/burn pile. Loved every minute of it. Put 8.6 hours on my new tractor. Has its scratches to prove it. Love my machine and the radio sure makes working alone pure joy. Distractions would be playing with a phone while working or watching a video... Neither of which I am interested in.
