How do you address a consumer need to have a stereo installed in a Skid Steer when there's no room for it. You could redesign the skid steer to option a stereo indash as well as room for a set of speakers or you could let electronic manufactures do what they do best. Identify a need and design a fix for the problem. No room indash so make a surface mount work instead. Hence enter the era of surface mount stereos. This new style of surface mount radios was introduced a few years ago from a Premier manufacture ASA Electronics. Sold under the Jensen brand. This brand has since set the bench mark for all surface mount radios. So much so the major players Bobcat and John Deere as well as others have made the JHD910 their OEM offering. Why is the JHD910 such a good fit for these manufactures?

What's included
The radio will work with a 4 or 8 ohm impedance per channel. Example; if you have 4 speakers that are 4 ohm each you would hook them up in a series connection. This will give you a 8 ohm impedance for each channel. If they were hooked up in parallel they would be a 2ohm load which is not recommended. Wrong impedance causes the radio to overheat and distort.
The Jensen JHD910 has proven to be a very versatile stereo. Works great of course in a skid steer but will also work where a rugged waterproof application is needed. Examples are lawn mowers, motorcycles, atvs and rtvs. If your vehicle works with 12 volts and you want a radio on it, take a look at the Jensen line of surface mount radios.
