Mirror to mount on loader arm bracket? John Deere 5075E without cab

[jccndakota]

Hello: has anyone mounted a rear view mirror on the top of the loader arm on their tractor? I'd like to look behind me while mowing or discing. I look over my right shoulder while adjusting the attachment height. It would be nice to glance at a mirror on the left side instead of turning my head all the way back to the left. There's a hole at the top of the loader arm mount. Good Works Tractor company sells a mirror and bracket designed for this, but I don't see any reviews.

Thanks, JC

Hard to say, my tractor came with mirrors on both sides.

You're in NC but you have N Dakota in your name? Interesting.

At our local farm store they have mirrors that would also work. I’ve got one on mine, rectangular in shape that works well. Can’t remember where I got it though.

They sell mirrors with very powerful magnets that you can slap on the loader arms. Mine work great and don't move at all when placed.

Having been in the trucking industry for years, I had a bunch of mirrors laying around. I ordered a couple of serious magnets with a sheet metal bar between them. Attached the mirror and I can stick it any where I want. Have to be careful, as some places don't like to let it go!
I made another one for a friend who uses his on the loader in order to back up an enclosed trailer into a shed. Turns out he uses it in his JD cabbed mower even more!

Can you provide a link. Many of the magnetic mirrors aren’t good at staying attached.

Cool. I grew up in SD, not far from the border. Uncle lives in Minot now.

I bought these magnet mirrors $18 Pardon Our Interruption... and with the FOPS (4 post canopy) mounted the mirrors inside near the top of the front pillars - works great and are out of the way

I also bought a pair of these - and they work GREAT. Never a problem with them falling off or moving around.

Yep, mine look exactly like that, but I think I paid
$40 per pair. Think yours are half off LOL!

If I recall correctly, I think i got the link to these from a post you wrote?

I used readily available and easily replaceable Jeep Wrangler mirrors. I bolted them to the loader supports using angle iron brackets:

They articulate and easily fold out of the way for woods work.
