Buying Advice BX2660 for B3000HSTCC, help!

I'll disagree on the radio..... I use mine all the time. Nuttin better than blowing snow or mowing listening to good music to pass the time. I also use the radio with the windows open while planting flowers or whatever, don't always need to be in the tractor to enjoy a little music. In my tractor vids on youtube, it is the radio playing in the cab, not music I've dubbed in. I will say that i'd opt out of the Kubota (Panasonic) factory radio though. Get the Kubota box and put any single din car radio in it. You can buy three times the radio elsewhere for what Kubota wants for their Panasonic radio.

One thing that's nice on the Kubota O.E. radio is you can get the National Weather Service on it. I don't know how many aftermarket radios have that.

I second that, the weather feature is pretty cool. My factory radio is an REI am/fm/cd/weather with 3.5mm aux in front and rca rear. Its a construction equipment build head unit. Its "tractorish" looking lol.

Can you post a pic of your radio setup? I agree the Kubota radio is way overprices. Even the mount kit is like 300+. You could go to lowes and get two L brackets for 15 bucks. From what ive heard, all B3000's come with speakers and wiring already built in.

These pics I had on my computer, if you need something better I can take more.

Thanks for the pics! Looks very nice. Did you install it or the dealer?

 

[Ductape]

Dealer installed when new. If I were buying tomorrow, I'd get the Kubota mount and go elsewhere to buy a decent brand stereo and install myself.

I would agree. I think they charge an arm and a leg just for the bracket! The mechanic said your better off going to lowes and fabbin your own L brackets. Will have to see.

Out of curiousity, when your headlights are on, do the climate controls light up? Is your tractor a B or something bigger?

Thanks!
