Thanks Chris, Entertaining and very helpful. I have some more research to do, can't decide yet on the RK25 or the TYM T25, pretty much the same tractors with a little bit of difference which I don't know yet. Maybe Price. I'll be looking forward to up coming videos.
The speakers should spin around the same as the work lights. I tested mine and enjoyed them but also found them a bit distracting as I'm still kind of a newbie. I'll probably use them if I ever start doing more monotonous tasks. No, there's not much bass but with all the tractor noise it's hard to tell.
@@TryNewThings They rotate on the speaker/light side of the mount, not the ROP side. They rotate downward and have about 180-190 degrees of rotation before a stopper prevents the wire from twisting further.
Hey Colby, not aware for ROPS mounted option from RK. I know the RK25 and the TYM T25 are the same tractor and I had watched this video from Tony's Tractor th-cam.com/video/PHYM_Y1NHOI/w-d-xo.html where he installed some TYM Factory LED ROPs lights. I honestly looked for those on both the TYM and the RK websites and came up empty handed and ended up buying a set of lights of Amazon th-cam.com/video/E05QThpIrd4/w-d-xo.html and they worked out pretty well for me. To sum up - they could very well be an option on TYM, however do not believe they are an add-on option for RK at this time.
Hello there Al, thanks for the question. I'll tell you how easy it was for me. I have an I-Phone, not sure if that makes a difference. With the tractor on, I went into settings / Bluetooth / Looked for a new device to connect to that I had not done so already. On my phone it came up as "TRACTOR", hit connect, and I was done. Now every time I'm on the RK25 with my phone, it auto connects when the tractor is turned on. The range of the Bluetooth is not far (that is a little irritating at times), and if you jump off the tractor and walk a few yards it will disconnect, then reconnect when you get back to the tractor. So if I'm playing the radio through the speakers I typically just leave my phone in the wireless charging slot so I keep a constant connection even if I'm getting on and off the tractor.
That is not good news. Did you use them a lot? After the initial “cool my tractor has speakers phase” was over I went back to ear buds anyways due to having to blare the volume to hear over the tractor.
@@russellbailey5237 If you are still under warrantee, it should be covered. I had an issue with intermittent connectivity for a couple days (worked it self out somehow), and when I called my sales rep he told me he could send me a new one (under warrantee), but after it started working again I did not bother. There must be a USB module in the dash someplace, and that is what he was going to send me a replacement part for.
Sounds pretty good. Would you consider a video of speakers on with engine running at various RPM?

Thanks bgarr for the feedback. Do they rotate all the way at the speaker, or at the ROP?

This is irrelevant to the speakers, but on the manual it shows 3 of the led light on top of the roll bar. Have you seen any options for this?

How do you pair the cell to thebspeakers

My speakers blew within 6 months and less than 40 hours.

Mine malfunctioned in under 50hrs.
They connect but then the light on the dash starts blinking....
Any advise on that or how to replace?
