Radios, CBs, and cccessories for agricultural work

Working in agriculture means handling heavy machinery daily, but it also means being outdoors and often in isolated areas. Therefore, one of the main necessities, especially for those working in groups, is to have communication tools that facilitate work. How?

• Through rapid and immediate communications

• With tools that do not distract attention and that do not discharge quickly

• Overcoming the limit of telephone coverage, which can often be lacking

The solution for those working in agriculture is therefore to equip themselves with a radio, like CBs, to communicate quickly and speed up the production process.

But what are the best radios for your tractor or your agricultural machine? Let's see them together!

CB Radios That Make Your Life Easier

Every farmer's need, especially during the harvest season, is to best organize work flows and make production fast and effective. To do this, it is necessary to have a well-coordinated work group and be able to exchange information in real time. In this situation, a CB makes a difference: the message reaches all workers, and communications do not overlap. If previously getting communication to everyone took several minutes and also depended on telephone coverage, now in a few seconds you can communicate with the whole team without taking your attention away from the work you are doing.

Now let's see which are the most suitable CBs for agricultural work.

Midland 88

It is the most versatile radio from Midland because it adapts to all DIN compartments and can be attached to the dashboard glass with a convenient suction cup. It also has an integrated filter to eliminate unwanted noise, so it is perfect for communications even in loud noise situations. It has a universal 12/24V power socket, as well as a large, color TFT display with clearly visible indications, which is very convenient on work vehicles.

Alan Sessantotto

An icon that needs no grand introductions, as it has written the history of mobile communications. The Alan Sessantotto is reliable, robust, and high-performing even for the most professional communications and delivers impeccable audio thanks to the Noise Blanker System and the Automatic Noise Limiter. Just know that it has been the most beloved CB in Italy since 1983!

Alan 42DS

If your work is very dynamic and you need to carry the radio with you to communicate not only inside the cab of an agricultural vehicle but also outside, then the ideal choice is the Alan 42DS, the portable CB. It is light, weighing only 220 grams, and can be used in any situation. Among its various functions, it also has the EMG for immediate selection of the emergency channel.

LUX 1500-S Antenna

To always have top performance, the LUX 1500-S antenna is the ideal choice to install on your agricultural vehicle. It is a broadband antenna that automatically lights up when the radio transmits, does not require any power supply, and is completely waterproof, therefore perfect in every season of the year. The antenna is compatible with all the CB models mentioned above!

The Hands-Free Communication Kit

When working on agricultural vehicles, the main thing is not to divert attention from what you are doing, primarily for safety reasons and secondly, to not interrupt work flows. Radios are already valuable allies, but the ideal is to be able to communicate hands-free, without ever taking your hands off the steering wheel.

For this reason, we have designed a hands-free kit specifically for professionals who can never divert their attention from what they are doing. In this case, communication becomes even simpler because the controls are on the steering wheel. The kit consists of the Dual Mike with 4 or 6 pins and the Dual PTT button. The Dual PTT is a Bluetooth button that you install on the steering wheel very simply. The button connects via Bluetooth to the microphone, which can be placed anywhere in the cab: it does not need to be close to the mouth, because it captures the voice even at a distance without losing sound quality. In addition, with the dedicated CB Talk app, you can manage voice equalization and echo.

Thanks to CBs and the hands-free kit, you have the freedom to focus only on your work, Midland takes care of the rest!
