Where do you mount your spinner?

Ditto.. and depending on the steering.. some full hydro steering units don't even offer much.. or any kickback from tire movement.
I also found that on my ex-NH 1920, that I could slowly move the steering wheel/spinner bck to 'top' position without affecting steering much.. reminded me of the 'balistic' settings on computer mice.. short quick moves yielded a big steering response.. where as very slow long movements give a very gradual steering response.

Okay- okay fellows. Seems you have the spinner use down pat. I haven't and will gladly turn my share of the spinner supply over to you. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Bah! Kids today and their newfangled inventions - what is the world coming to? Next thing you know, they'll want an hydraulic top link and a cab with refrigerated air.

Egon,
I had one on my old B7200. It was great, you just had to remember to hold on tight in the unknown territories. You probably don't have to ask how I learned this, although I never broke any fingers. (a few bruises though, until the brain starts to remember things like pain)

<font color="blue"> I used to think that way until I got one. I've been able to maintain the same number of fingers with no infliction of pain from my spinner. Further, since I just steer with my palm now, I don't have to worry about hooking my thumb or fingers in the spokes when I'm at the end of row mowing or making a lot of sharp turns using the FEL.

I'm thinking a lot like Gary on this one. I never had a spinner on my last tractor as it wasn't equipped with power steering so I was always cautious about feedback from the steering wheel on uneven ground. But after reading all the posts about them here at the TBN site I quickly added one to our TC-40D SS. The spinner in conjunction with the SuperSteer axle really makes tight turns a breeze using just the palm of the hand on the spinner.
The spinner position is never constant because of the nature of the power steering but that has never been a problem, you just learn to adjust hand positions accordingly.

Hold on tight - thats the problem - there are those moments when all is going well - then one of those little holes and things turn real quick.
Maybe it's because years ago I got to drive employers no power steering 4x4's on constrution jobs that entailed backing up and running at problem hoping you could get thru. Remember thrashing two front ends in two days- mechanics were not happy. And thats not counting the exhaust systems I left in the mud after a D9 pulled me thru.

I'm with EGON on this one, I decided to stay away from spinners after being taught the hard way on a All Us Chompers /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif grader. The steering wheel was mounted strait up and down so the spinner could contact hands, legs belly, arms whatever. It did. Just turn the wheel with the palm of your hand. Power steering makes spinners obsolete IMHO.
