Anyone ever try using a rear view mirror when using a scraper blade, convex or standard ? Love my new rear landpride blade but looking back sucks.
Don't know if this is the question you are asking. Here is convex mirror mounted on upper mast for 300CX FEL. Holes are already there. Use 3/8" diameter clear plastic tubing for perfect spacer in the smaller hole.

I have a mirror mounted just like CinderSchnauzier on the loader mast, and also have one up high on the front of my canopy. Neither are helpful for controlling rear implements. Just for backing up or seeing traffic coming up from behind on the road.

If you mount the mirror on the canopy the vibrations might make it hard to see out of. I operated a tractor with a factory installed mirror in the cab and it vibrated so much I had to hold the mirror steady to be able to see out of it.
One thing I have found with the convex mirrors is that they are bad for depth perception when working with 3 point mounted implements.
From your requirements, you might look into a ski boat mirror, probably 15" long by 4" tall with the right curvature that might work well. Go to a ski boat shop or online and see if that is an idea to work.
