I bought a BLV11035, RH mirror kit for my 4044R open station to be able to keep an eye on pulled implements. I started out mounting it high on the ROPS thinking that would be a good place to see the implement. It worked ok for a pull type disc or cultivator that was a bit of a distance behind the tractor, but anything attached to the iMatch was too close to the tractor to see much of it. There’s really not that much available adjustment. In that position if you folded the ROPS, the mirror rotated up in a strange high position. I moved it below the ROPS pivot point and just use it as a review mirror now. It works better for that rather than an implement monitor.

It does not vibrate at all.

@JDLTG Thank you for a real world review! I would use it mostly for a mirror to keep an eye on rear implements. This might be something I’d be better off fabricating something of my own design to try out and see how it works.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a well made mirror and mounting arm. I just don’t think it’s intended for being able to monitor and implement right behind the tractor. Fabricating your own would probably give you much better results.

I have mudds mirror brackets and mirrors from amazon. Surprisingly i have never noticed any vibration.

Keep in mind that a 4-cyl engine in a large 4044R won't have near the vibration of a smaller 3-cyl tractor.

I guess that’s true. My 790 was a 3 cylinder, but it idled at 900 RPM and didn’t vibrate like I guess the one and two series do these days.

Those tires/wheels on that trailer look smaller than my 1025R fronts.
I’m contemplating fabbing up a pair of mirrors. I am constantly looking behind to stop before hitting a fence or the house with my imatch when mowing close to corners.
