cell phone cup holder mount on BX?

[BillK01]

Anyone using a cup holder style cell phone mount on their BX that they like?

As much as I dislike having my cell phone with me all the time - there are some occasions where it would be nice to have along when using my tractor. There seems to be about a million different cup holder style cell phone mounts but they all seem geared toward being inside a vehicle - not bouncing around on a tractor.

So I figured I'd check in with tractor owners that may have firsthand experience with one that seems to work well?

I'm all ears too. A cup holder is built in on my L4760 but I'm at a complete loss for a viable phone holder. I've tried two different kinds of magnets and yet another mechanical clamp style. You're right....the automotive designs won't stand up to the tractor's movement. Still looking for the right answer too.

Check out Ram mounts. I use the roll bar mounts with the awesome motorcycle cell phone holder. They make a whole lot of different bases and attachment points, and I know many people that successfully use them on dirt bikes. My off road Bronco is a much wilder ride than my Kubota, and my phone sits safely and comfortably in my Ram mount. I also use their tablet mount and others

On my L4240 I lay the phone just above the steering column. Fits perfectly. I often forget to get it when I get off the tractor 'cause it fits so nice.

I dont think I have long enough cord on the phone to reach out to the tractor

X2 on the Ram Mounts. I believe they call the cup holder mount "Ram-a-Can".
I use one in my truck, but usually just lay my phone either on the dash, or in a long narrow slot near my loader control in the tractor.

I use the rope mounted tool box to hold phone even drilled hole to run cable to cig lighter for charging

I leave my cell phone in the house. Theres enough distractions driving machinery as it is.

I have my cell phone on the tractor, not as a possible distraction, but as an aid if I need a part or help. When my phone rings I'm not required to answer it!

And I probably wouldn't hear it anyway.

Just to throw another option out there.

Instead of wearing on your arm, I'd strap it to the ROPs or grab bar. Slightly padded and water resistant, Incase you play in the rain too!

Good one...............

That is too funny Skeets.

Sound like us, moved in to a old farm house 2 1/2 years ago and have still no plugged in TV in the living room.

Cant hear it anyway!

In my pocket where it always is. Carhartt FR pants have a pocket each side just above knee, work phone always in one....

My cell phone (when I feel I might need communications in case wife needs to contact me or vice versa) is securely clipped inside my shirt pocket with bluetooth connection to the headset at this link.... https://www.ionaudio.com/products/details/tough-sounds

I typically listen to a radio station via an app playing on the phone.. I would also hear an incoming call... if important, (caller ID tells me who) I can stop and answer it.
