steering wheel spinner knob

[lman]

stupid question--do you put it at 12 oclock or 6 oclock ?

It won't matter if you have hydrostatic power steering.

Neither, my tractors are both hydrostatic steering so it can wind up most anywhere.

Mine are both from a local truckstop and are the 'girlie' knobs where the gal drops her top when you use it...

Variety is the 'spice' of life.

Used to use them on old backhoe. New tractor has such great power steering I just use my palm and around we go.

Not sure why you would want it with power steering. We had them on the old tractors and they were very useful but we also occasionally had sprained fingers and wrists.

I have one on my tractor and love it for loader work or any precision maneuvering. I bought it at Tractor Supply for about $15.

If you have hydrostatic steering, it won't matter, because it will move around. Only directly linked steering would stay in the same place.

It was the first addition to my LS.

I love having a steering knob. When your doing hay it makes turning back in on a row much easier than having to spin the steering wheel by and and gives a general reference on when your wheels are straight again. I also like it for loader work as you can keep one hand on the loader controls and the other on the knob. Palming a wheel for hours on end gets old fast. Anything to make life easier when spending hours on the tractor is worth it.

It is annoying how the know ends up in random spots due to full hydro steering.

I have one on my Kubota. Use it a lot - even with the power steering.
