Does anyone have a phone mount/holder that they can suggest?

I have an insulated lunch bag I strap to a fender grip. I carry my cold water in it. It also has a zippered pocket I slip my phone into. I have my music on the phone and play it through noise canceling headphones. The headphones are Bluetooth connected to the phone and I can also take a call if I had to.

This is my second lunch bag. The first didn't have a secure clip. I just hung it over the seat adjuster and kept my phone in my shirt pocket. Well, the bag fell off and, on my return path, I noticed shredded foam, material and cans strewn all over the field. At first, I thought what the heck is that? Then I figured it out. :oops:

I'm pretty cautious with my phone in there now. The bag is double strapped.

Edit: I assumed you were talking about while on a tractor. :unsure: I don't have a cab so no sun visor. ;)

Ram Mounts makes a wide variety of phone mounts. I use a cup holder mount in my truck, and a mount that clamps around an interior round bar on the door of the tractor.

I purchased this one and besides being a cup holder it will hold my cell phone. It attaches firmly to the grab handle on my fender. Now I have hot coffee or a cold drink when I am plowing on my open cab.

WeatherTech makes one that's not bad ... it does occupy a drink holder spot, so if you need that you're inconvenienced. Any number of suction or magnetic mount ones on Amazon, can't speak to quality.

I bought a cheap cordura pouch with a Velcro flap cover and a carabiner clip on it. I just clip it to the cable on the ROPs pin. Plenty of those style cases on Amazon.

You must mow a silky-smooth lot. I'd have my phone covered in my favorite beverage with something like that. I stop under a shade tree and grab a can of flavored water out of my pouch. I don't try to tractor with an open drink. Can't even do that on the new lawnmower with suspension. :D

I use a Yeti style vacuum cup with a lid and stainless straw. (Walmart brand, I don't always overspend like dictcg pointed out );). I don't do any mowing but a lot of wood harvesting and snow plowing, But when you have been looking for something for a while and find it, I tend to jump on it before I forget where I saw it. :)

I use a Weathertech cup holder in my truck. As of yet - I've never taken the cell phone out with me on the tractor. If I ever do - just use the Weathertech cup holder out of the truck. OR just put the darn thing in a jacket pocket. My entire life, so far, does not revolve around my cell phone.

A cell phone is good safety feature to have with you if you get hurt out there.

I agree with that but at the same time, in your pocket or under the sun visor (turned off) is just as good. I know when I'm tractoring, the LAST thing I want is to answer a cell phone (not that I could here it ring anyway...lol)

Yes - jyoutz - I know you are correct. And I'm pretty sure that there would be a response by "somebody". Hopefully - before the coyotes found me. Cell phone service is REALLY spotty out here. "They" tell me that the Emergency tab on the cell phone will ALWAYS get through. Hope I never have to find out............

You could always invest in a SAT phone which work anywhere, unlike a cell phone, but unlike a cell phone, you pay by the fractional minute for air time and the phones aren't cheap either. I have one but only use it for emergencies as it's not a cheap date. Not for yacking or texting your buddies, it for important stuff.

5030 - I have seriously considered a SAT phone. Mainly because my cell phone usage is so low. Last five years of cell phone usage - average 6 to 8 minuets per month. AND my cell phone is ALWAYS off - unless I'm using it. My ATT cell phone bill is $650 per year. It all sounds rather inviting - it's just that I'm hesitant about moving so far forward in technology.

I use this cheap, simple cell phone mount on my tractors.

I took the belt holder that came with my Otterbox case and removed the belt clip:

I glued two magnets to the back:

Then snap the phone into the belt holder and place it on any metal surface on the tractors:

Cost $3 for the magnets and about 10 minutes of my time.

I’ve taken a different approach and wear a chest harness from Hill People gear. It’s about 6” x 9” and has several zippered pockets. One for my phone, one for emergency med gear and one for a gun. Everything is easy to reach and it’s always with me, whether on or off the tractor.
I’m in the woods by myself a lot and like having this all on my person.

My RK 37 conveniently has a cup and phone holder with a charging port, on the right fender. But, I am always looking for a better phone holder for the truck. I use a cheap air vent model, but they only last a few months at five bucks a pop.
