Cheap Bluetooth tractor radio

[Macsky]

Any recommendations? Radio is kaput, are any of the suspiciously cheap ones online any good or do I need to spend £100+?

I put one in a tractor. Works fine but no Bluetooth. Was a USB but doesn't do much.

I remember having that mistake in the pickup, think it was something like 4x5w

Are the speakers easily replaceable? Like usually a generic size(Valtra)? A decent pair would probably make a fair difference

If I can change them anyone can pop the covers off, remove the four screws and either measure them or take it with you to Halfords. They should be on connectors but if not ask the guys in store for crimp connections.

makes a huge difference, you probably have paper cone speakers at the moment, the woven fabric gives a much better sound quality

Should be. Biggest job will be matching the size.
I ordered some surface mounts. Hopefully just screw them on. Iv a old loader though so looks isn't any concern.

I replaced all speakers in both my tractors makes a big difference. They’re usually 5.25” or 13cm iirc. Have suck a set of 6x9s in one tractor

I put in a decent make second hand one and use a Bluetooth adapter like this that you can use in any vehicle with a lighter socket.

Vote for one theses. Best thing out. I had one which worked thought Aux so not as handy but same principle. I used to carry it in my lunch box so I was always prepared what ever machine I was driving. Made many a day in sprayer more bearable. The factory fitted radio only worked driving east west.

This is the A23 version and is much better than another model I had,sold by different sellers but all use this exact photo.

I have two very similar Kenwood radios in each tractor, one might even be the same. I like them.

What's it like with the 6x9's in. Where did you place them in the cab?
