Default Tractor lighting

Been looking at some of the posts for aux lighting...you guys have some very good ideas on that.
Thinkin' 'bout using these...a little pricey, but they look like decent lights.

Wow you got to like them but guess I'll have to stick with my $10 each TSC lights.

Those lights should work very well I like the ability to point them at where your working. The stock lighting on my Ford sucked. So I have a pair of 55w halogen work lights mounted high on my ROPs. And a pair of high output LED lamps on my fenders I like to have some daylight when I have to at night.

Do you happen to have a source on those high output LED lamps you mention

Hey Guys,

I put some lights on my ROPS. I got them from Northerntool.com (link below). they work great. I put three on the ROPS, and I'm going to put one on each side by my clearance lights in front of the pedals. The lighs are about $12.00 for two of them, and the three I have throw plenty of light out front to work in dark, snowy weather.

Now how I mounted them may get a groan from many of you.. I just drilled and taped some 3/16" holes and screwed them into the ROPS.

Carry on,
Phill

hey guys you all have some great ideas for lighting we instaled two 55 watt duels across the back of the roll bar and built two piviting arms with the welder and then mounted two 100 watt holegens 20 inches from the top of the roll bar , so they are easey to reach . remember to shrink wrap all electrical joints as water and snow can make all projects work projects for life ,keep on tractoring

I am in the process of installing aux. lights on the ROPS of a JD-855. The "dashboard" is a little cramped and the path back to the ROPS a bit exposed. Any advise would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Can anyone advise me of a standard auto part replacement for the headlight for a JD 855? I am guessing that a Syvlania H6054 may be an equivalent, but can't seem to find any confirmation. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bill
