CB radio/walkie talkie frequencies?...help

I'm thinking of setting up a CB radio in the tractor and guys on foot have a walkie talkie communicating back and forth, will that work? Or is there a certain cb I need for that? A CB in the tractor(skid steer) is easier to mount, and hang than a walkie talkie. Plus on some jobs I need to be able to talk to semis coming in and out. Any suggestions? In a perfect world I'd love to be able to hook cb with the radio in the tractor and would shut off the music when communication was coming in then turn back the radio when done, but I know that may never happen lol. Thanks guys!

You can get hand held CBs.

Oh awesome, ill check that out, didn't know that. Thanks. I know there's some hands free walkie talkies, something to that effect for in the tractor would be nice since I need both hands to keep on working, I hate stopping.

Haven't shopped for awhile but don't remember there being any CB/WTalkie combos. Along with the old cb I wound up with a Motorola WTalkie clipped to the dash with a remote speaker mic. Basically I wound up with two speaker microphones.

Only problem is that unit doesn't have the WTalkie frequencies.
Too bad Jordan's people aren't using marine band WTalkies.
They have a few good vehicle base units for them.
