Mirrors?

[tacticalturnip]

Thank you for taking the plunge, however; I'm sure there are many who will inevitably read this thread and find out a magnetic mirror might not be for them.

I wholeheartedly agree, as these were not the $27 units from Amazon, but the $89 ($$$) from 5ElevenDesignz. I might look at removing the rubber/plastic covers from the magnets, (designed to protect paint) as these might really be limiting the magnet attachments. Items form TSC and Amazon do not have them.

I have a modest size (2.5 x 8) semi fish eye mirror mounted to the front roof support - right where you would expect it to be in a car or truck.
Works great. Nothing exceeds turning around and looking at the critical stuff. But a good mirror can reduce the constant look behind when grading or mowing etc.

Magnetic mirrors (Pair) | 5Eleven Designz, LLC

1 pair of magnetic mirrors for compact tractors, lawn and other equipment. These have super strong 100 lb neodymium magnets with a vinyl backing to prevent damage to the equipment's finish. They measure 5.5" wide by 7" tall.Folding resistance can be adjusted with a turn of a nut. The folding...

These are something I'm considering for my Kioti; previously I'd had a set from All States Ag Parts mounted on brackets from BoltOnHooks.com and they worked great. I definitely am missing having mirrors, it makes backing into tight spaces a lot easier.

Did your CK not come with them? My CK3510 came with 2. not megnetic, but still 2 very large mirrors.

Not a good pic but these are what I put on my B so I don't have to turn around when blowing snow with the rear blower. I had got them from a company golfcartaccessories.com but I don't think they are in business any more? Or at least that don't have the same web site.

But I did see these mirrors on Ebay for cheap. I think they were only around $20 Canadian each.

Nope; the SE models come with mirrors, the standard CK10 do not. I added a bunch of options, but left out the mirrors. Looking back I regret it, especially as to add those mirrors looks to be a pain in the arse. It looks like the mud shield they mount to is welded to the operator platform at the base.

Are you talking about mounting to a canopy roof. If so could you post photos of your setup and the mirror information?

That looks like a nice setup!

Ayuh, which is why I should have got them, lol.

Its just a piece of tube stock welded to the front support. Something similar could be done to mount OEM or 3rd party mirrors.
