The Wifey Wants A Rear View Mirror on Tractor

Don, if your box bladeing, don't you need to sit sideways so you can see where your going and whats going on with the box blade? Mirrors aren't going to help with that.

That's the whole point. I want to sit forward so I can see where I'm going, and use the mirror or camera to see what the box blade is doing. Sitting sideways is a pain in several regions, especially for an old man.

Green Acres .........Here's one I put on my B2710. (4"Convex from NAPA auto parts).
Notice, I can see my fender and BH stabilizer leg./forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
Hopefully I can prevent snaging the BH on something when threading
thru trees & obstacles or tight quarters /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Junkman, I bought one of those backup cameras (with reverse image so it looks just like you were looking behind you) for my motorhome but haven't installed it yet. Maybe I'll try it on the tractor first to see how it does! If I do it, I'll post some pics. I'm afraid it will get ripped off though as I don't have sense enough to stay out of the woods. John

I have a Yanmar 1500 with the mirror option. I will try to get a picture of it and post it. But let you know that the mirror is diconnected (worn out and need sto be replaced) and the tractor is partially dissasembled getting ready for new paint.

Hear is a pic of what I've got...without the actual mirror which mounts at the top of the "stalk" bolted to the side of the engine.

I haven't tried one out, but won't the vibration make it almost impossible to see anything in the mirror.
