Put Some Mirrors on My Rig

What a difference this made, two side view mirrors, and one rearview mirror under the canopy.

I love mirrors. Took me a little trial and error to not whack them out of alignment when bush hogging - LOL. They don't work at all for some guys doing heavy woods work.

Will do! The one under the canopy, I took a piece of angle iron, cut, notched and drilled it out, and was able to use the two bolts coming down through the canopy and the square tubing, and bolted it on there. Then I centered the convex mirror on that, really like it.

The other two are magnetic placed on the FEL frame.

You're right, they are nice, til they get whacked out of alignment. That's one reason I put the one under the canopy. Now I can back the brush mower under trees, back the tractor to anywhere just using mirrors. Better than turning around for sure.

I use relatively inexpensive and easily obtained Jeep wrangler mirrors:

Amazon.com

They articulate and fold out of the way when necessary and not too expensive if they do get busted.

I mount them to the FEL frame with a couple of pieces of angle iron:

When installed this way, they also make a great handle for mounting & dismounting the tractor.
