BX-25 Rear View Mirror

[Tachdriver]

For some time I have wondered how I could mount a rear view mirror on my BX-25. I do a lot of backdraging on my road using the ratchet rake and always worry about an idiot behind, just sitting there waiting for me to hit them. Constantly looking back. SO I cam up with this mirror. It is wide view and crystal clear. "I can see clearly now" !!

Made with 3/16" x 1" flat bar. Two holes drilled in the FEL sticker and one 1/2" hole for the mirror. Painted Kubota orange. Now before you ask, yes it vibrates a little, I knew it would, but not enough to complain about. I could re-inforce it with a piece of angle iron, but it is not worth it. Also, before you ask, the FEL arm does not come close to it in full elevation.

Another fine Dubbs innovation....

Not a bad idea! I was on our private road yesterday and decided to back up when I looked, there was a car right behind me. Would they have let me hit them if I did'nt look?? Who knows! Now, you know!:thumbsup:

Pretty sharp. Hope you never see a T-Rex in it.

Good idea. I need one for my BX2660 because of those trees popping up out of nowhere as I am back dragging with my FEL.:laughing:

Very nice :thumbsup:

The mount for my mirror is a little bigger than yours. But as a side benefit I also get shade & a place to set my Stihl pole saw :thumbsup:

I'm disappointed, 4 posters and no mention of Tachdriver's sock in the second picture! He changed up on us and isn't wearing white this time.

Another great mod Tachdriver.

Wow, missed it. Don't know if it's us or him that's slipping. No white sock? How do we know that's really Tachdriver? :confused3:
