Ok i know its not the safest thing to do but i got an ipod and i have been listening to it when i go mow and man it gets me moving. Especially if i have fast songs on it. Does anybody else do this or am i the only jerk
Same here, I almost can't mow without mine on now, music passes time and I mow quicker with tunes.procut said:I have a set of peltors with an AM/FM radio. If I leave them at home it makes for a long day.
Same here as well, I think I'd go nuts without them.DLCS said:Same here, I almost can't mow without mine on now, music passes time and I mow quicker with tunes.![]()

Sounds good. Yeah you couldn't hear people telling ya you missed something.Bulletproof said:We discourage use on properties where people are in close range; however, large fields (bush-hoggin) are more than fair game
Haha, yeah... those are the ones we discontinue for next year!S man said:Sounds good. Yeah you couldn't hear people telling ya you missed something.
I use Koss earbuds with my IPod and they fit well inside my Stihl muffs. Great sound too.Roger said:What kind of ear plugs (buds?) are you using to hear anything. I considered buying something to listen, but tried a small radio with ear buds, inside my Stihl muffs. I couldn't hear hardly anything on the buds -- just enough to know if the audio was speaking or music. I don't want to spend money on something if I can't hear it anyways!
My trial was done while using my Exmark, 15hp Kohler (single cylinder), 36" hydro. Maybe other mowers are so much quieter that ear buds will produce enough sound to be heard. Or, was my trail flawed?
I use a portable sports Mp3 player (you need the sports version to keep it from skipping) and use KOSS earbuds, you can order extra foam-pieces from Koss, matter of fact you can order the buds as well, they are these here:Roger said:What kind of ear plugs (buds?) are you using to hear anything.

Only thing you have to pay extra attention because for one you can't hear anything so you rely on feel and sight exclusively, also be careful with the wires from the earbuds getting tangled, but run them up inside your shirt and the problem is minor.True Harbor said:I'm planning on getting a dell digital jukebox along with hearing protection/ built in radio. I was wondering though do any of you guys have problems wearing sunglasses, a hat, and the hearing protectors all at the same time?
