I'm one of the few people that removed all the plastic cup holders from my tractor when I got her. Use those places for glove storage or whatever. I've been running tractors since the 60's and never felt to need to have a sippy cup of anything with me. If I am really working, I have a gallon or three of ice water with me...though... :)

Like I said though, I dont necessarily use mine for "cups"; just more of a catch all.

IMHO the cup holder on my M7040 HDC is very difficult for a disabled person such as I to reach. I keep telling myself I need to install one on the cab door post.

Good idea. That's what I did and it's the perfect place to have the cup holder. :thumbsup:

Na Jim. I don't sell them. They take me to long to build. Just wanted to show you that they can be made. The mug never falls out. It's in the perfect location and it's very easy to remove the mug and put back in. It's all aluminum construction. I added some photos, you might get someone locally to make you one?

I didn't build one but my 8540 narrow didn't have any cup holder so I mounted a bottle holder for a bike on the bar to the right of the dash. Open containers just spill so I only use containers with caps.
