I thought I'd start a thread to document my lighting project on my Kubota L3400 and ask a few questions along the way. I'll post pictures as they come in as well.
The project it so mount 2 utility lights facing forward, two facing back, a single strobe beacon and possibly one work light facing either side of the tractor. There will be 5 switches to run all of the lights, one for the back lights, one for the forward, one for the strobe and one each for the two side facing lights. I have a canopy to arrive in a few days to which the lights & switches will be mounted.
So lets start off with the questions. First, I will need to use and mount 5 relays to run all of the lights. Where do I put them??? For those of you who have the L3400 Kubota, you know there isn't a whole lot of room under the hood. I am thinking my best bet may be to mount them to a piece of flat metal and then mount that right next to the battery? Seem like a good idea.
