When I upgraded from my Ford 1700 to my current Kubota M6040 - the experience with using the new loader only confirmed that I needed to practice. I'll bet I spent 4 or 6 or more hours out at my "waste dirt pile" scooping, dumping, approaching etc, etc until I felt comfortable with the new tractor.
For me there would be soooo many times when a camera system just wouldn't cut it. Working in the rain or snow or moving dirt that was/is extremely dusty. Using the grapple to push into a pile of brush, without damage to the camera system.
It all boils down to practice - knowing where your bucket/grapple is, how to approach a potential load, when/how to curl & lift, coordination of the tractor forward/reverse actions etc, etc. I think if I had to watch a small monitor, worry about sun glare off the monitor, etc - I might begin to experience sea sickness.
Many times technology will not be a substitute for practice & experience.
