I was not too happy with the one 55w halogen lamp on the rear of my new tractor, it was mounted on the left rear fender and seem to line up with the one foot diameter discharge chute on my blower. So I ordered five LED 27watt work lamps [ EBAY, $238USD ] and mounted four towards the top of my ROPS. I made and bolted two aluminum bars to the ROPS using 1/4-20 SS bolts, and wired the lamps to the existing work light circuit of the 5035. The circuit only has a 10 amp fuse, and the lights draw about 9 amps. The wiring is plenty big enough, so I will probably pop in a 15 amp fuse. The LED lamps are the 'flood' type, and each is about as bright as a car headlight.
