“Loader Mouse” Mounts On Steering Wheel
A French manufacturer has come up with a new mouse-shaped add-on called a “Tract-Pilot” that’s designed to attach to a steering wheel. It allows you to control a front-end loader without taking your hand off the steering wheel.
  It functions like an old-fashioned steering wheel spinner knob when you turn the wheel, pivoting 360 degrees as you turn. It’s designed to control the Canbus system on any make or model of tractor if an MX front-loader on the tractor has an electronic joystick.
  The mini thumb-controlled joystick at one end of the mouse controls forward and reverse shuttle along with gear changes for powershift machines, and a neutral to allow for extra revs to speed up loader controls.
  Powered by a lithium battery, the wireless mouse controller takes just minutes to install and lets the operator keep one hand on the wheel and one hand on the loader controls. (http://www.m-x.eu/en/default.aspx).
