Linkage spreader - mounting a camera

[thebull]

Has anyone mounted a camera in the bin of a linkage spreader? Don’t have scales in the Bogballe abs with the hopper extension I just build you can’t see much with the lid open. Wanting to get a few more ha per load by seeing the very bottom of the hopper.
thanks all

Yes, bolted a good round magnet to the camera bracket and use it on my front hopper when sowing and in the spreader when at fert. Mine is a wired camera but you need to run power anyway so just run in cable from back of the cab.
Infra red means that it is still shows OK with the cover on.

Yup, sees in the dark with the hopper cover on and lets you see if you are going to run out on one side on a wide bodied sower.

I’ve got a camera mounted in the top of back window,inside cab on my 6620 deere.it shows what’s in the hopper of my krm spreader but I never close the hopper cover as I’m pretty much ringfenced and only have to travel on a road for a few hundred yards.

Normal reversing camera on top of cab lets us see into the hopper on our KRM.

Reversing camera uk supply a magnet which you can bolt a camera to. I have one in the drill hopper and now use a magnetic mounted one in fertiliser hopper. I just remove it before washing the spreader. It doesn't move even on rough fields and tracks. It is a simple thing that has made work so much better.

I have had magnets from these guys for cameras. Look at pot magnets they have a hole in the middle and a metal cover. They don’t move when attached.
