Nice job of adding creature comforts while working!

Wine rack?

That antenna and those lights seem to be tree branch magnets for me and wouldn't last long without protection.

Nice! I'd ignore the stupid comments though.

I still need to add USB ports to my tractors but I do have the same Kenwood head units and Scosche tubular magnetic phone mounts in both of my cabs.

AR-15 scabbard,..... and toilet paper holder too?

..... and toilet paper holder too?

No need. I print off your posts on some nice soft paper and use that instead. A few sheets stuffed into a shirt pocket works well I've found. But you keep on ordering those Depends since they're obviously working well for you.

Slick upgrades. For the radio, did you require an additional wiring harness or was it plug and play? I'd like to upgrade to BT as well. I called crutchfield a while back but they were unable to verify if a harness was needed. On your phone holder, there appears to be no restraining clips that hold phone. Magnetic? My phone has plastic backing. What am I missing? Thanks.

Radio came with wiring diagram so I cut off old connector and put new connector on. The phone holder is held in place with two small bolts. I drilled holes in metal plate. If i were to add another hydraulic remote it could be in the way

I turned my antenna down, as I was concerned about limbs catching it.

Good idea, not sure I could have done that and it fit. Radio reception not great as compared to car. Guessing it’s the radio.

Just saw this Mods.....Great !!!! Awaiting delivery on a used B2650HSDC sometime 4-2-26. Glad I joined Orange before delivery, as my first Kubota. Already have lots of Mod Parts on the way. Got to get the Scotche phone holder. Here is one for your Cup Holder from Paul and Cathy @ Specialty Repairs, Canada. Beats reaching behind you.
He also makes a Metal Guard or the Roof Flashers.
This Kubota replacing my open '86 Ford 1910. Old Age and bad knees, to climb up on the old horse and shift, and blow snow.

I swapped out the useless 12V cigarette lighter sockets in both tractors for much more useful Bluesea Systems USB ports. Also, I ended up modifying both Scoshce holders to my liking. I removed the articulating aspect for a much more rigid and immovable mount. Tractors can make for a bumpy ride, and I found that the ball clamp system wasn't up to the task.

Also see you added an AMP high current 3 pin receptacle, next to the dual Blue Sea USB. What Ya powering up with that ? With the Industrial Machinery I deal with, use AMP plugs every day. Spotted that one off the bat.

Said the CELL PH. BALL Mount was NOT holding up with the vibrations. Fiqured that. I was looking at Scotche Bar mounts too, as my B2650HSDC doors have the Tubes. But too far a reach as I'm putting a Specialty Repairs Cup Holder on the Right Door Tube. The B2650's have a Pocket above the Speedo /Info Display, so I'm going to try this approach with this one. Does have a Wireless Charger, Cigar Outlet just to the left, this Cell mount has extendable shaft.......Time will tell.
Will invert the position of the suction base 180 deg., to face the B2650 dash pocket. Should put the phone above the steering wheel for a good view. Sides of this mount widen up to a said 3.5" for a Phat Phone.

I didn't add it, it comes standard on the M6060/M7060 and bigger tractors. I haven't used it yet and not sure what I'd use it for. Maybe a baler or something.

I have a lot of Scosche magnetic mounts in equipment and like the products and magnetic mounts, but yes, the balls didn't hold up to the vibration of tractor work. I cut the balls down, drill and tapped for a bolt, and now everything is rock solid. My phone can plug into the Bluesea Systems USB port if I need power so all is good.

I might eventually upgrade the speakers in both tractors and add an Alpine amp similar to those that I run in the Jeep and the F-250. The amps I use are very small and will work well in that application.
