Kubota M4-071

If you are happy with the factory Jensen and 4 inch Clarion speakers okay. The difference with the true rms wattage in the Kenwood head unit, (also Bluetooth, Android auto, multi colored display, quick EQ, seperate bass, mid and treble adjustments, Pandora etc.) is night and day while driving the JL Audio 6.5 seperates. I am very satisfied with head unit and speakers. They are certainly adequate,  however, I am ordering a JL Audio powered 10 inch sub to go behind the seat. Partially because the bale monitor plug is right there with three prongs (battery, ground and keyed) and partially because I want it. I'm mowing 40 acres for myself and I'm advertising to mow 50-500 plus acres for profit. I enjoy listening to music while mowing... Currently 140 hours.

I ordered a Kenwood head unit with 22 watts rms to each of 4 speakers. I used two due to the fact that there were only 2 speaker holes in headliner. I ordered JL Audio C-2 6.5 inch speakers with crossovers and seperate tweeters. I cut out mounting holes over the factory 4 inch holes. To seal the 6.5 inch speakers to headliner I had two 3/4 inch wide solid rubber gaskets made 1/4 inch thick the precise diameter of the included cutout templates. I removed both B-Pillar covers and cut holes about 1 inch below top bolt holes, so the tweeters could be flush and at my ear level on both sides. I placed crossovers up in roof area behind main speakers.

Apparently the electronic servo looking unit was shown to me by dealer on his tractor only. His 3rd function was a Land Pride. I guess my brain remembered that image and thought it was in my kit.  To be clear, there is no servo looking unit in my kit. I'm guessing some type of controller is already on board. There are wiring harnesses and other assorted wires terminated in clip fasteners. Also, the new joystick loader controller with 3rd function buttons has the wires neatly tucked inside the joystick. I haven't seen that on any other 3rd function system. I will add that the entire kit looks complicated to install.

I picked up my Kubota manufactured 3rd function valve kit Wednesday September 30th. Looking over the kit I see powder coated brackets, to mount quick couplers on loader cross member, and to mount hard lines to inside loader arm. The actual valve is very heavy and both the valve and electronic servo unit look absolutely first rate. There is a completely new joystick with switch buttons in it. It all appears to be first rate. I will be installing the system soon. Updates coming. Stay tuned...
