For you fellows with no cup holder

   / For you fellows with no cup holder #21  
I have been to Italy and was told the same thing. They never use the cup holder while driving. The odd thing though is there is a bar at each rest stop and it is very common to see people pull over to have a beer.

Well at least they weren't drinking while driving.

Yes but they have better drivers too. When I worked in Germany I had a car with GPS. If I went over a speed limit it would tell me "obey the traffic rules" in a stern female voice. lol.

Course you don't see the skid marks and barrier rubs like we do here in the US.

You can get cup holders as an option in Germany.

As to tractor cup holders look at some of the marine style holders. Will hold up to the bouncing and weather. Most bolt on and self level.

I use a Camelbak. Holds a couple of quarts, insulated, convenient.

I need a drink holder with a cover on it. Something you drop a can in and slide a cover over to keep trash and bugs out. Nothing like taking a drip of Pepsi with a grasshopper in it.

I used a Frontier document holder. Used another for my fire extinguisher.

Guess it wasn't this thread, but in a similar thread, a Kubota owner noted that his right fender's built-in cup holder was loose... mine was as well, to the point of wearing off the paint around the cup holder's edge where it constantly wiggled. After re-finishing the area, I put some U shaped soft vinyl glass gasket from a cheap triple track window frame around the opening, and it was perfect for tightly holding the cup holder when it was snapped back in. It's in the details.

I put one of these on my fender, the magnet keeps it locked on unless I hit it with a pretty substantial branch. Holds everything from a yeti tumbler, koozie, or just a plain bottle. I'm pretty happy with it for the price.

Here's mine.
Added an expanded metal screen to the ROPS on my Mahindra 5525 for backside protection when mowing.
The screen is a convenient mount for a magnetic cup holder.
Screen is attached to the ROPS with hose clamps.

Yep that cup holder has a small hole in the bottom that accepts a piece of 1" pvc pipe. It ships with a chunk of PVC with a magnet attached to it. You could make any other attachment you wanted with PVC.

Nice! This gives it a slight interference fit and helps to grip it. I will try this with mine as it tends to come off with the cup, when I take a drink...Annoying it is! :confused2:

Good tip and thanks. :thumbsup:
