Remote Camera for Viewing Front-End Loader Operations

[fluttersmith]

Large Kubota cab tractor obscures view of bucket or attachments when near the ground - where you really need to see operations. Does anyone have experience using rear-view or front-view automotive type remote cameras and 7" remote screen to solve this problem? Requires "real" image looking forward, not "mirror" image.

I could use something like that. On my MX5100, it is really hard to use the forks on the front for lifting pallets because I totally can't see the tip of the forks. The stupid seat safety switch makes this worse because I can't stand up for a better view.

Yep, that thread is the one to read. I am in the process of adding front and rear cams with that same exact hardware.

I have the Cab Cam front and rear mounted heated(thermostat controlled)cameras that
are hard wired and I love them because they are so simple to use and program.

The cab cams have an on screen scale gauge with a red stop line which is a must for
backing to hitch up my dump trailer.

The monitors are very easy to use and the systems also have a wireless
remote control to use as well which is standard equipment at no extra charge.


You can purchase a wireless remote camera system from them too.

The systems support up to 8 cameras if needed.


All you would have to do is decide where to mount it after having someone in the cab watching
the remote feed while the other person has the camera in their hand.

The camera if equipped with the shutter should be placed where it can operate without being
damaged by a falling object or have a spot where a piece of channel iron can be welded on
the frame of the loaders forklift attachment or for that matter mounting it on the engine hood
would be even better to protect it as the loaders arc of movement would reduce the chance of
it being damaged by something falling over the top edge of the bucket..

I have had the cameras for almost four years now and I will never be without them again!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am one that installed a backup camera for snowblower operations.
The display and camera set me back about $60. or so from China and it has 2 inputs.
I tried different cameras that I had on hand and the display handled all of them.
The display had all sorts of programmed options such as reverse, guide lines on/off, wide/narrow flip image,brightness, color etc etc.
Since I did not trust the on/off switch I added a toggle on the +12volt line.
Images are as sharp as you would want and better than I expected for that price.
Downside is wires are just enough to carry the amperage hence very fragile. Also caseing is plastic and not rugged for tractor environment however one can always create a metal 'box' (like 3 sides) for added protection.
While I only installed the back up for snow blowing I will add a front camera for loader and fork usage in the spring.

Back up camera used facing forward have the image reversed.

You can change the settings on some monitors so it will not have a mirror image.
