Kubota LX3310 cab, JD 4310, NH 575E cab backhoe, JD F725, Swisher 60", etc.
My LX3310 cab is loud but bearable with normal pedal operation. Set the parking brake or engage the cruise control and I need hearing protection. Max speed in medium range with the cruise control set will hit 103dB. I put some mat pieces in but didn't go as far as doing dynomat and it made no difference. That is because all the super loud noise is being transmitted through the linkages.
The radio is useless. I use the 3M work tunes bluetooth hearing protectors.
I have considered ordering some linkage parts and redesigning them with bushings but I don't think I will really take the time and trouble when the headphones solve the problem.
I don't know what oil mine had in it but changing to UDT2 made no difference in mine.
I bought my tractor used and test drove it with the mower and cruise control engaged so I did know of the issue before I bought it.
