Abstract: The present invention relates to providing a clear unobstructed view of the immediate area behind a Skid Steer Loader. More specifically, it provides for better safety while backing. Two designs accomplish the unobstructed rear view as follows: 1) A single mirror is mounted onto each of two front support posts of the operator safety enclosure. These mirrors are adjustable, similar to outside mounted automobile mirrors and normally positioned near the top of the support posts. 2) A single mirror is center mounted to a hinged bracket that can easily be moved out of the way when the operator exits the safety enclosure of the Skid Steer Loader. For cold weather operation Skid Steer Loaders are often outfitted with a weather tight safety enclosure and a front door. Both of these designs accommodate the weather tight enclosure with a front door and the more common safety enclosure without a front door.
