RAM Tab-Tite Holder for John Deere with Fixed Mounting Screws
A spring-loaded RAM Tab-Tite tablet cradle, sized and fitted with fixed mounting screws for a secure, rattle-free hold on the tablet John Deere's own accessory program specifies for this holder.
Why this matters for your operation
A tablet mounted loose in a cab does not survive long -- vibration works screws loose, and a cradle sized for the wrong device leaves gaps that let the tablet shift or drop out on rough ground. The Tab-Tite system solves this with a spring-loaded holder that clamps the tablet firmly from both sides, while custom end cups keep every port and button accessible without removing the tablet from its holder.
Features
- Spring-loaded holder for a secure, easy-in easy-out fit
- Fixed mounting screw configuration matched to this specific tablet fit
- Custom end cups keep tablet ports and functions accessible while mounted
- Made of high-strength composite for durability and reliability
- Backed by a lifetime warranty
How RAM's modular system works
Every RAM mount is built from up to three parts that click together. A base clamps, bolts, or straps onto the vehicle -- a rail, a roll bar, a dash, or a device's own housing. An arm connects two RAM balls together and can be locked at any angle, so once mounted you can tilt, rotate, and reposition the device freely, then lock it firmly in place by hand. A cradle or holder grips the specific device -- tablet, phone, or GPS unit.
Not every product includes all three parts -- some are just the base, some bundle a cradle, some are a complete kit. Where that is the case, this page says so plainly, so you know exactly what you are getting and what, if anything, you would need to add.
The ball size determines what it can carry
RAM uses five ball sizes, each rated for a different weight and duty class. B Size (part numbers starting RAM-B-...) is RAM's most common size, standard duty -- what RAM recommends for phones, GPS units, and light tablets in normal use. C Size (plain RAM-... part numbers, no letter prefix) is heavy duty -- used for larger tablets, handheld computers, and anything mounted somewhere that gets a lot of vibration or shock, exactly the case in a tractor, ATV, or UTV cab. D and E Size are reserved for large monitors and specialist equipment, rarely needed outside those cases.
Rule of thumb: if the mount will live somewhere that is frequently jostled, vibrated, or under constant load -- an off-road vehicle in a field -- RAM recommends stepping up to the larger ball size (C or D) for extra stability, even if a lighter B-Size mount would technically hold the device's weight.
No tools required, on purpose
RAM arms are designed to be tightened by hand only -- there is no official torque spec, because the ball-and-socket joint is meant to be adjustable in the field without a wrench. If hand-tightening does not hold your device firmly, that is usually a sign the ball size is undersized for the device -- sizing up solves it, rather than over-tightening.
Aluminum or composite -- both built for the outdoors
RAM mounts are made from marine-grade aluminum or high-strength composite, depending on the product; both carry a lifetime warranty and similar weight ratings. Aluminum's powder-coat finish handles rough vibration and shock slightly better; composite has no paint to chip and is often preferred in high-corrosion or salt-air environments. Neither choice is worse -- it is a trade-off between finish and environment.
Important: this is the cradle only -- no ball or arm included
This product is the holder component of RAM's three-part system -- it grips the tablet, but it does not include a ball, arm, or vehicle-side base. RAM's own accessory listing for this holder pairs it with a C-size round plate with ball, which then connects to a C-size double socket arm and a cab-side base.

Frequently asked questions
What size tablet does this fit?
Any tablet (with its case, if used) that falls within the listed dimension ranges: 7.375"-11.5" tall, 4"-8.31" wide, and 0.13"-1.12" deep. Always measure your specific tablet in its case before ordering, since "tablet size" alone does not guarantee a fit.
Does this include everything I need for a complete mount?
No. This is the tablet cradle only. RAM's own kit page pairs it with a separate C-size round plate with ball -- you will also need a C-size double socket arm and a base to attach to your cab. Contact RoboService if you would like a full kit specified for your vehicle.
What does "fixed mounting screws" mean, as opposed to other Tab-Tite variants?
Some Tab-Tite holders use adjustable end cups that slide to fit a range of tablets. This version uses fixed-position mounting screws, matched to a specific tablet's port and button layout -- giving a tighter, more tailored fit for that device rather than a broad adjustable range.
Is the tablet easy to remove for use outside the cab?
Yes. The spring-loaded design is built for quick insertion and removal by hand, with no tools needed.
What is included in the box?
The composite holder itself, plus the assembly hardware: 4x #8-32 x 5/8" screws, 4x #8-32 x 1/2" screws, 4x #8-32 nyloc nuts, 2x #4-40 x 3/8" screws, and 2x #4 flat washers.
Is there a warranty?
Yes, RAM backs this holder with a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
