Steering wheel spinner?

Thanks everyone. You cracked me up. I thought one hand was for the cold "beverage" and you have to steer with your knees while using the loader.:crossfingers: Yeah, swmbo has already laughed at me for running into a few "unimportant things" with the loader. Takes some getting use too. :ashamed:
I thought I had it down with the bucket clearance... added a Piranha Tooth Bar and it actually reaches out an dings stuff even when I am paying attention! :confused3:

I once "accidentally" ran over some of her bushes and flowers, that were completely in my way and I had told her not to put anything there. Of course I did it when she was away visiting a relative at the time. The old 8N with a bushhog did pretty job...of course she did a number on me when she got home! Just about had to sleep in the barn for awhile...:irked:

Amazing what you can get done when the better half isn't around. No approvals necessary and no 'what the H E double hockey sticks are you doing comments'. I lose weight too!

I installed a spinner knob on the steering wheel of my B3030. I initially thought that it would be in the way. However, I found that it has been an asset, especially while being used when backing the tractor. If you install one, don't do what I did and get hung up on positioning it. Due to the power steering, the position of the knob always ends up on a different position on the wheel. If you position it at 9:00 o clock, it may be at 3:00 oclock next time you get on the tractor. One of my neighbors--an old retired truck driver--tried to remedy this problem on his old big Ford tractor--he installed three(3) separate spinners!

three spinners on my tractor...hydraulic steering ensures that the steering wheel wanders all over the place, thus just one spinner is never where you expect it to be.

one spinner on my RTV

DON'T get in the seat without at least one!
