From my experience, If a car or van driver sees a tractor creeping out of a side road or field they actually accelerate to try and get past before the tractor gets out in front of them! It’s not that they don’t see it!While cameras are good for front mounted equipment you don’t even need to go through the expense of that. My Dad put a wide angle lorry mirror set on our front weights set at 45 degrees so you can see around a corner from the cab. Simple, cheap, and saved plenty of near misses over the years. I would hate to drive around with any front mounted equipment without any blind spot aid and in my mind It’s irresponsible of us farmers to think other road users will see us creeping out and move/stop. Like with the BMW and front mower above, that was an accident waiting to happen.
