Just bought my first tractor, an 886. Am going to use it for haying, mainl baking and some cutting. I noticed that there isn't really a spot for wiring to run out of the cab besides going through the back glass or the door. Anyone have any suggestions? Will have a baler monitor and a gps in it and would love to not have a million wires everywhere. Thanks!
 
im sure there is a spot by the hydraulic levers or such place for a cord to go through. it can be made neat and tidy. if not you can drill a hole in cab where required and use a grommet with a cord. do your plug in outside of cab. you can buy wiring cord with as many wires as you want.
 
on right side of cab, opposite where the ash tray is on left side, there is a flat panel held with a phillips head screw. maybe 2"X3" or so. if you remove that, there is a nice big hole that leads to outside of cab above rear tire.
 
Which engine is in yours, 358 or 360? I have had both still have one that had a 360, now has a DT414. They are good all around tractors.

You beat me to it. LOL
 
Yes, that spot on the right is one place to put a monitor. Also you should have square bars on either side of dash that will hold monitors and run the cables down under the dash and thru the opening in there where the wiring goes to the fuse block. My '86 is not handy so I cannot tell you EXACTLY where I ran it, but that is the general idea and you should be able to figure it out. I much prefer a monitor that is in my normal field of vision..forward..than on my side.
 
My 886 is my feeding tractor and raking tractor, but I do have gps (for fert spreading) and satellite radio in it. In both cases I mounted them inside to the right from corner cab pillar, tucked the wires in behind it, ran the wires down and out through the corner of the flip up step above the battery (where the corner meets so it doesn't mash the wires), and then back up that hollow cab corner on the outside (zip tied to the coolant lines to the heater) and out at the top to the roof. Never had any problems. It helps that I always get in on the left side (most of my other tractors are Deere) and I have a joystick loader control so using the right door isn't convenient.

You will love the tractor. Except for those stupid doors and vertical steps. The cab sure feels less claustrophobic than the soundgaurd cab from Deere but it is louder I think.
 
I'm also use to Deere cabs so the chances of the right hand door getting used are slim. The previous owner put larger steps and a handrail on the left hand side as well as a door shock. Makes it much easier to get in and out. Figured the right hand side would be a good cooler spot LOL.

Those door shocks are really good for keeping unwanted visitors from pestering you when you are trying to work.
