Does anyone who has bought the L6060 "50th Anniversary edition" know if it is supposed to include the radio?

The dealer I'm working with seems to be nickel and diming me. I know it is NOT included in the normal Grand L6060 but I think just like the quick hitch it is supposed to be standard equipment on this the tractor and no one said anything to me about it costing extra. They charged me an extra $600 for the quick hitch that is supposed to be included with the 50th Anniversary edition, said they had "removed" it from the price. When I first looked at it @ on the dealers lot, at that time I am SURE it had the Jensen standard non-Bluetooth radio. Today they just delivered the tractor, and that radio is gone. They are telling me it's an additional $350 for the one with Bluetooth. That is pretty pricey for a radio. I know I got a good deal on tractor itself over 15% off, I know I overpaid a bit on the implements, but I was ok with that since I was getting such a good deal on the tractor and they are in business to make money. Now I'm starting to feel like this is a little ridiculous. Even if I call them out for it supposed to be included I'm sure I'm going to get the... well we removed it from the price spiel.

If I'm wrong and it is not standard equipment on the 50th Anniversary Edition... What radio do you folks recommend? The Jensen Heavy Duty either the JHD36a from the dealer or? I don't want the cheapest thing out there especially if it won't stand up to the dusty hot/cold environment of being in a tractor's roof at the same time don't want to spend a ton when I can just use Bluetooth earbuds.

I will be happy to post pics later. I took delivery this morning but then had to get into work.

Not sure about your specific questions on what's included.
Dealers only got 1 afaik? My dealer kept his for personal use.
I have a kenwood in one tractor and an alpine in the other.
Both bluetooth. Ordered from crutchfield & harness adapter from ebay.
Haven't had any trouble with either. I'm a former professional car stereo installer. I would put the difficulty at about a 1 on a 1-10 scale. As long as the factory harness isn't cut I wouldn't sweat it.



This is the unit I have and it has been great. About 320 hours in the tractor so far.


Enjoy your new tractor!

Congrats on the new tractor!

I can't speak about "whats included", however I have always had good luck with Crutchfield was well. Their harness adapters make install a breeze.

Call Kubota and ask for a list of standard items that are on the Anniversary Edition. You need to know the original factory cost to know if they deducted anything. If it was on the tractor when you made the deal for the tractor, then it should be on the tractor now. Personally, I think that the dealer is playing games with the "we removed it from the price", but they didn't say that they were removing items from the tractor when you made the deal. I only wish that the Monroney Label law covered tractors and you had a "sticker" that showed everything that the tractor has along with the individual price for each item. Best to read your original sales contract, and ask for a detailed explanation on paper if you go back to them.

I just purchased the anniversary model and it didn’t include the radio. I bought it sight unseen so I don’t know if it was supposed to be included. I was told I could get a radio much cheaper than a dealer radio. I bought one on Amazon for $125. Just now have to figure out how to install the plug and play.

All of my "plug and play" harness's from Crutchfield were very easy, If they make one for your tractor here are the directions.

Step one..........Plug one harness end into OEM harness, then plug other end into radio.....

Step two.........Turn radio on......

Done.
