[AT] Mirrors on tractors

[Lew Best]

My big tractor has side mirrors outside the cab; I point one toward the
pickup on the square baler & the other so I can see the bales drop; no
comparison to "looking back" but I like them.  About all I do with the
tractor is cut & bale hay.

Looking at Ralph's snowblowing video brings up a question.

Has anybody had success with rear view mirrors on a tractor for all the 
neck twisting jobs?

Might not completely eliminate twisting around, but might help(?)
