I've had a "request" to install a backup camera on a new Bobcat S650. Anybody had any experience with backup cameras on skid steers? Do the automotive systems stand up ok? Is there a heavy equipment version available?

Track-vision. I plan on installing one on my new t590.

I am interested in installing a backup camera on my NH L190 Skidsteer. I have looked at the web sites for both cameras, the track vision and the Ag Cam and neither one gives any pricing information. Anyone have any idea what they cost? I know that you can get a automotive back up camera at Autozone for about $80. I am sure there is no comparison as to quality but...

I've been checking out a camera lately myself. Anything to save the neck! I found these http://www.rearviewsafety.com/home-page-featured-products/rvs-770613-rear-view-camera-system-backup-camera-trailer-rv-cam.html. It's listed as a skid steer cam by TadiBrothers along with a video review, but I can't get their link to work.

I put a "visorview" unit on my 544K and in all my dump trucks.

Did you use their infrared camera? If so, how is the night vision?

Thank you. Same cab as mine and saved me from having to cut out a piece of cardboard and look for a location.

I Will back you on this system JNB !!! … I've had the Rearview Safety System on my A-300 Bobcat for 4 years now with absolutely no issues …. I mainly bought it for Winter Snow-Removal where the back window you can NEVER see out of yet alone at Night …. The Sony cameras (2) that I purchased were the Heated ones that have the extra LEDS in them to prevent icing up or when the snow dust gets on them, in no time are they clear again ….. the Night vision is amazing with or with out back-up lights on ….. I've also appreciated having them when working in the rain, same thing the extra heat keeps the lens clear from moisture ….. These systems are tough and will take the vibrative torture that skid-steers naturally have …… "I Will Never Own Another Machine Without them" …….. Cheers

In a way yes, but at the same time in others defense the ass on those is so big you probably need it.
That is true
But you actually get the best visibility in the industry with it. I measured it at the Cat dealership and you can see an object a little less than 18" high and two feet back from the bumper.newtodirt

That is true
Digdeep your kidding yourself if you think that is industry leading visibility.
