Stereo in skid?

[bobcat863turbo]

I was just wondering how many of you guys & gals use a stereo in your machine? Can I just run that right off of the battery or does it have to be in the wiring harness of the machine I understand bout the fuse block and would probably run a decent in line fuse. Any and all comments appreciated. Corey

If you tap into the big orange cables i believe this is constant 12V, others have done this. I even remember someone that had the headset style ones, it worked to cut down on noise and was a radio too. Just an option.

I have an old Bobcat, so I picked up a set of ear muffs, with a built in AM/FM radio. It works pretty well, and is a simple option.

Our S650 Bobcat came with a radio. Sound quality is ok but not fantastic. If you used an mp3 with radio, ear buds with ear muff hearing protectors over your ears, you can turn the volume way down, and sound quality can be as good as the quality of the ear buds you get. That's my 2 cents worth.
