CptDave; I've never saw a factory radio on a CUT, but I'm sure with enough research someone would have an aftermarkrt one. Frank. ....

If you go to any farm supply store or a 'big tractor' dealer they will have radios for tractors. Someone here has one shown in their photos, I just don't recall who.

Typically they are a weather-proof box which contains a radio, speaker (sometimes two) and a small flexible antenna and are intended to be bolted to the fender next to the operator.

In practice they are not great, by the time you turn up a cheap, tinny-sounding radio loud enough to hear it over the machine, it's not ...... soothing.

Most of my employees used the 'hear-through' type of radio headphones. They kill most of the extraneous noise electronically, they have a microphone built in which nullifies the abient sound while still allowing a voice, whistle or horn to come through, that leaves you with just the radio unless someone shouts at you. They are expensive though. The other, much cheaper, alternative is to just get a 'walkman-type' radio and put up with the other noise.

Best of luck. ....
