FW Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Bit of an odd one, but I was wondering what most people use to mount machine control boxes or computers inside their tractors. Reason I ask is because I've been looking at a newer baler and has a lot of electronics. I do remember seeing suction ones ones in the farmers weekly a while back, but can't remember who made them or where top get them. Any help would be superb!

Gav836 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I use farm made steel brackets in mine, one at the front is a flat bar bent into an L shape and has either the baler or the drill box mounted on it. The other is a big bit of box section thats used for the potato harvester box and is mounted off the back corner post. Believe the suction type mounts can be got from screwfix from memory if thats the way you want to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Will if you pop to your dealer they may make them in the workshop. Have a look, find out where in the cab it goes and copy it 40, 60 and TM series New Hollands usually have a bar between back corner and door posts. Or for bigger consoles, off the right hand front corner post or door rail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MODELFARMER Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 most tractor hand books show you places in the cab where sockets for bolts can be found in cab pillars to attach brackets to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Baler box on the 6480 is attached to the post on the side of the other cab door........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 As Ricky says most tractors have captive nuts in pillars etc. I also use 'RAM Mounts' (http://www.ram-mount-uk.com/create-a-mount.htm)which makes swapping boxes between vehicles a doddle.
