Real men don't:

1. Eat quiche.
2. Ask for directions.
3. Wear sunglasses, they squint.

No, the radio would be a distraction for me.
However, if in the future, I need a radio, I'll
jury rig something.

I recommend getting the install kit, but the factory radio is ridiculously overpriced. You can get alot more stereo for $100 elsewhere. I find I use mine all the time, even when doing things like spring planting. The tractor is always nearby, windows open and tunes on. Sure makes the time spent doing chores go by faster.

Save your time & money. You won't be able to hear it that well if running an implement at rated speed due to engine noise and hydro whine. It really has to be cranked up.
It was a fun project for me to do, but I really don't get to enjoy the radio much if really using the tractor for something.

Really? Admittedly, it's not like listening to a stereo in a passenger car, but I use mine all the time while snowblowing and mowing. Usually some rock for blowing, something a little more wellow for mowing. I feel the noise levels in my snowblowing videos are pretty accurate. You do have to get over the noise of the tractor, but I really enjoy the tunes while working.

Maybe you are just too old?? :laughing::laughing:

When I had the headliner partially removed to install the rear work lights, I took someone's advice (maybe you, Ductape?) and put some foam rubber behind the headliner mounted speakers.
There was some improvement. In fact I had the stereo on while snowblowing twice in the last few days. I could hear the stereo OK, maybe I was expecting just a little too much before. With the tractor's inherent in cab noise levels, the stereo experience shouldn't be expected to be first class. It is what it is. A tractor running at over 2,000 RPM's to power a snow blower, not a living room.
Got no reason to complain when the temp is in the teens and I'm enclosed with heat and music while doing snow removal. :thumbsup:

With regard to high engine noise levels inside cab my dealer told me Kubota is coming out with a quieter, improved version of the B3030HBSC {might be called the B3000HSBC.}
Anyone know anything about this?

Would be nice if they offered a soundproofing retrofit kit.
If not...
if Kubota is able to add more soundproofing to the new cab, couldn't we add soundproofing to B3030HSBC?

What products could be used, and where would they be installed to provide more soundproofing?

Thanks

The new B3000 is due out pretty soon, though I haven't seen any actual date they are supposed to hit the dealer's lots. I have not seen any info on anything Kubota has done to make them quieter. The 3030 is definitely not as quiet as the Grand L cabs....... i'm sure it's a cost / benefit deal on Kubota's part. How much do they want to spens to make them 'X' decibels quieter when they are the only manufacturer to offer a factory cab in that class tractor anyway. I'm sure they don't want to make them so expensive as to make them unaffordable.

As far as adding some sound deadening material yourself....... you will find different options anywhere higher end automotive stereo components are sold (Dynamat, etc.).

Does anyone know when new B3000 is supposed to be out? Thinking of a B3030 w/o cab , just wanted to know if I should wait.

I hear by spring, maybe March / April ? Though I haven't seen a single 'spy photo' nor any photo from anyone who works at a Kubota dealership who has been to the dealer shows. The has been talk of the B3000 since last fall. I would expect a tractor largely the same as a B3030 with some swoopier sheetmetal and a more compact loader with more curved arms.

Are those file photos of a 3030? If that's the B3000....... I'm disappointed in Kubota. It's a 3030.
