Magnetic mirrors

[jyoutz]

I am considering these to mount to my loader uprights. Any experience with these? Do they stay put or fall off?

Not sure on the ones you linked. It would depend on the strength of the magnets. I got ones like this and added my own rare earth magnets.

I assembled my own using golf cart mirrors and the largest magnets that would fit. They still can be knocked off easily if bumped the right way.

I made two from Amazon, like in your Amazon picture, double 95lb magnets, "Solid", & half the price. The Amazon ones you showed did not get great reviews. I put mine to the inside of the ROP when going thru trees.

The magnets I used were the strong Rare Earth magnets, 1 1/4" diameter, I installed a removable 24" LED light bar with 8" arms, one magnet on each bracket, had to bump it up to the 150lb, 1.65" diameter magnets to hold that secure. I attach that to my ROP also, My L47 came with accessory bullet electrical plugs so I put the light bar on front or back as needed.

Those are just the low cost golf cart mirrors someone added magnets to and is charging way too much! Make your own!

FWIW I used mini welding clamps with some cut-up inner tube in between to keep them on - I knock them out of alignment here & there but haven't come off once in the last year

I used golf cart mirror of about $15 pair and some neodymium magnets. Eight or so magnets were <$20 and I used 2 each one each mirror. Used SS to attach to mirror. They've been on the tractor for a couple of years and never have knocked them off. Have had them moved a bit, but very seldom. Movement is not a problem.

Did the same as D2Cat, probably stole the idea from him, LOL.
Golf cart mirrors $11/pair, 4-pack magnets $16. These magnets aren't the strongest, but they work.
Mirrors, Magnets

Knocked one of the mirrors off clearing some brush, was fine until I ran it over. Oops!
At least they're cheap enough I just ordered another pair.
