I have one on the Toolcat and the wife's Deere. Both of those are AWS and power steering. They can really be hand wreckers on a old tractor with mechanical steering.

They work great if you have to maneuver around obstacles quite a bit. Remember that with hydraulic steering, the knob will not stay in the location you originally mount it.

I wouldn't be without mine. Love it!

However if you do not have power steering you better not have one on there. It will break your fingers right now!!

Yep. I've had one for 21 years on my machine. Tractor Supply sells a few of them. I'm sure they can be found elsewhere. Really handy (no pun intended), especially when doing loader work, or mowing around tight obstacles.

stupid question--do you put it at 12 oclock or 6 oclock ?

I found a deal on ebay several years ago on wheel spinners. paid 28 bucks for 10 of the same kind that kubota brands as their own so everything has a spinner.

Word of advice is to pop the cap off the top and put a bit of grease or lube on the bearing or it'll rust and seize pretty easily.

If its a hydraulic steering tractor, it'll be at 6 when you put it on and at anyone's guess from then on. Personally I prefer 4 on a mechanically steered unit.
