Cab Radios

[TimP]

Hi All.

I am close to buying either a used B300, or a brand new B2650.

Can anyone tell me the Radios they install in the Cab version has a "USB" input to allow you to hook up an ipod or other auxiliary device?

If not, are you all installing another type/brand radio yourself?

BTW.. what exactly is the make/model do they install at the factory or dealer?

Thanks !

It's not a Kubota but my Branson has a Kenwood in it with the USB,
I'm considering changing it out for one with Blue Tooth hopefully with a mic input for my phone.

Hi Lou.

Thanks for the info.

I may be better off, if I buy a new Kubota, to buy a radio of my choice to get the options I want.

Regards.

Hey man- I have found the factory stereos to be lacking. I went to best buy and bought my own speakers and a bluetooth stereo and been rocking it for 5 years with no problems. It has a usb connection too but I never use it. Had to take off the roof to install it...

Hi schucksters.

Thanks for the info.

I read on another post the same thing about having to remove the roof of the cab to get to wires or something.

That sounds like a daunting project.

Pretty sure Messicks have a youtube video showing how to do it, and had a cheap Chinese unit that fits the bracket exactly.

I bought a radio on ebay for my B2650. All the wires for the install are right behind the pop out radio panel. Didn’t have to remove the roof.
I searched for Kubota radio on ebay. The shorter ones fit right in.

PaulL2,

Thanks for the info. I'll search Messicks' site..

Thanks for the info. That's more reassuring.

I don't know if I'm ready to remove a roof to install a Radio.

I put a radio in my B2650 cabbed tractor but find the whine from the transmission overpowers the factory speakers. I could upgrade the speakers but it’s not really a priority as I only use the tractor occasionally.
