Rear view mirror

[Swampcollie]

do any of you have a mirror(s) on your tractor?
I think it would save me a lot of turning my old bones around to look.
I have an mx5800 with an oem canopy.
Looking for suggestions.
Thanks

I guess depending on your situation, a back up camera may be worth considering too.

A mirror on something like a sunvisor would work well. Then its adjustable.

My L3560 came with a mirror on each side. Very sweet. It has a cab so that's probably why.

Look on Ebay for golf car or golf cart mirrors. They are oversized and can be mounted easily to a tractor with simple brackets....and 2 mirrors are like 20.00

For a mirror that gives a good field of vision and is relatively small, look for a boat mirror. They're convex. I put one on my Polaris side by side and it works nice.

Here's an example of a cheap mirror, easy to mount.http://www.ebay.com/itm/Boat-Rear-V...id=100005&rk=5&rkt=6&mehot=ag&sd=302225898863

The B7100s had a factory rear view mirror option. Could not find a pic of the mirror, but here's a pic of the mounting holes in the hood.

Sounds like you're looking for something to see the work behind you. What I did probably won't work for you then. Also with vibration you might not be able to see much detail anyway, mostly just shapes, and that vibration is going to be magnified at the front of the canopy.

What I did was mount a mirror on the top of the loader posts. This was only to see traffic behind me when on the road.

Mostly i want to see if the area is clear when i back up. I have a LOT of trees. Also watch for vehicles and machinery. I hardly ever get out on the road with it
