On our old 50 hp Kubota I could see the forks fairly easy. But we just bought a M5111 and seeing the forks or even the bottom of the grapple is not so easy.

Started thinking about adding a camera on the front of the loader. Of course, if I'm going to add a screen, wiring, etc for a camera on the front...why not add a backup camera too?!?

Looking for recommendations. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

I'm thinking of adding a set myself, Front and rear. Only issue I have is I have an open station with a canopy. Someone had a setup on an open station but i can't find the post. :confused:

Placed this on my GMC truck - works like a charm.

The one i installed, the screen can be changed up and down and right and left.This is so you can use it on the front or rear,just by pushing a button.

Finding an inexpensive camera that image can be reversed is difficult. I got one that i use with an app on my phone.i set it on the back of boats with a battery and use it for backing them into storage. I wish i could flip image so i can use it for other things.

Yada camera system is available with 2 cameras and a split screen not very expensive but make sure everything fits-- by the way it is a wireless system images are very good

good luck

Tractor2017 - Can you post a link to the one you purchased? It sounds like you are happy with it's performance. Lots to choose from on Amazon.

Thanks
