Abstract

A tractor which is towing two agricultural implements extending transversely relative to the longitudinal axis of the tractor and having a width which is substantially greater than that of the tractor's width, the two implements being coupled to the tractor in tandem. The interior of the tractor's cab has a convex (as seen by the driver) mirror which extends almost completely across the interior of the glassed-in cab of the tractor so as not to block the driver's forward vision, whereby the driver can observe in the mirror both implements across their entire widths as well as the device for coupling both implements to the tractor. In a modification, the convex mirror is of less width (about one-half of the width of the cab) and is flanked by further mirrors on each side which reflect from still further mirrors mounted on the overhead of the cab to provide an increased lateral area which is within the vision of the driver through the mirrors. In a further modification, mirrors mounted forwardly and on both sides of the deck of the cabin reflect from mirrors on the after part of the overhead to provide vision behind the tractor wherein the tractor has a cab located forward and the engine aft with a rearwardly sloped hood over the engine. The mirrors are preferably curved in at least one plane and may be of stainless steel coated with a reflective foil, plexiglass with a silver layer, or a silver-plated tempered glass. The degree of tilt of the mirrors may be established by adjustable members connected thereto.
