Camera mirrors, had a lorry delivering today and he had some fitted, looks a good job, would save breaking so many glas mirrors in narrow lanes.

You don't want to break the camera / stalk off on a lorry i can assure you ! Put it this way, 50 replacement mirrors would buy you *one* camera unit.

Because they're expensive enough as they are.

Please don't give the designers ideas, looked what they've lumbered us with already...

A camera on the back end of it would be a useful addition to the usual amount of mirrors, etc.

With the cyclist shenanigans you see about it won't be long before new laws come in preventing them from filtering up the inside of trucks.

And you can get a mirror to see you through the day more or less anywhere if you break one. Is it right that people who wear glasses are struggling with them ?

Guy at work has two trucks, his has mirrors, his Dad's new Merc has camera's, his dad doesn't like them

Had a few in with cameras instead of mirrors, yet to meet a driver that prefers them!

A magnetic wireless camera to put on back of implement would much more useful.

I had one on demo, they are good as it follows the trailer around corners but wher you can lean forward to look in mirrors and get a different view, your always looking at the same picture with cameras…if that makes sense

I’m pretty sure we do retrofit kits for tractors, il look

On flat roads its fine, but when you start on rough ground the vibrations on the camera cause an awful picture! not sure I would want it on tractors...

Saw the cost of a replacement Hyundai car wing mirror camera jobbie, 2600 great British spondoolies...
Some things are worth spending on to make your day easier, but really!...

Why aren't modern tractors fitted with a usable toolbox? Seen the new case puma has a decent toolbox so it can be done

Cigarette lighter and ash tray !

Brakes that don't need half the arse end taken apart to service or replace

Internal cab storage that can be properly locked would be good in case of a roll over, etc should be enforced by regulations. And I don't know why all manufacturers can't fit a lockable tray or cabinet to the offside steps somewhere.

EDIt: I guess a lot of this is mitigated by a front weight block with storage in it though.
