I do put my hand down at the 6 o'clock position at times as well as swapping hands when doing a lot of driving.
Rain is supposed to clear out Tuesday so I'll have 50+ acres of 2nd and 3rd cutting hay to put up, I'll be changing hand positions several times over the next several days.

A couple of my tractors have hydrostatic steering so a spinner wouldn't stay in one position on them, after all these years without one I probably won't be able to train my hands to hold onto one anyway.
