So far so good.. I use it more for seeing behind me when I'm near the road, it also helps some seeing my back blade..

Interesting use. I'm curious, how helpful a camera is on the front bucket? Usually you're already looking in that direction. Unless you're trying to see how close you are to a curb? I have a backup on mine that lets me see my hitch which my view of is blocked by the cab, but I never thought of putting one on the bucket.

fatjay, I wanted to mount a camera on the front to better monitor snow plowing on the driveway and roadway, once we get snow again, heck its almost going to be 60 today......

I want to put one in the front to make tree excavation more accurate (less messy) and to be able to see exactly where the auger point hits the ground on my hydraulic auger. It might also help me get closer (but not too close!) to the deck or the side of the barn when I'm clearing snow away with the FEL (ie, backdragging it out to where I can get to it with the blower).
