I generally wear ear buds when I’m brush cutting, but I hate that you can’t hear what’s really going on. Definitely can’t wear them when pulling trees. Have to be able to hear what’s going on with the loader and trees, so I decided to add some tunes to my tractor.
Built me a couple of plates to match the holes in my canopy bracket.
Welded some thin gauge square tubing to the plates.
Mounted up high next to the ROPS. I really wanted to paint it Kubota gray , but I didn’t have any paint so I just went with satin black. Actually think I like the black better as it matches the inside of the canopy and doesn’t stand out.
Added some marine Kenwood 6.5 to some enclosures I had from a previous project.
Mounted a cheap Pyle 400 watt marine amp behind the seat. I can still get the seat all the way back and it fits back there pretty well.
Got it all hooked up and it sounds ok. I obviously didn't have the brush cutter on, but I ran it up to 2100 RPM and I could hear the music just fine.

Sorry for the pics being out of order. I tried to edit on my phone and it just kept scrambling them up.

I really wanted a cab tractor when I bought this one, but I couldn’t justify the extra expense at all. Plus all the work I do around trees I would def have the windows knocked out of it.

That is very clever. I'd like to do that in my M7040 cab. It could use speakers and a better radio.

Wow nice fab job! Wish my tractor would clean up that good after brush cutting. Maybe the vibration of the speakers help shake the dirt off? . Self cleaning tractor would be helpful.
Glad you noted the safety aspects when dealing with trees.
Good job.

Yeah, I'm still on the fence about getting a cab tractor. I'd rather take the expense of a cab, and dump it into goodies for the tractor itself. But -- when it's cold, it's nice to have heat.

Decisions... decisions... lol

Buy the cab. You get the $$ back plus a faster sale if you ever want to sell.
I never wanted a cab but after I got one now I'll never be without one.
