Hello everyone,
I recently purchased a Kubota L3301. I knew that in time I would need to add a work light to the rear for snow removal (3 point snowblower). I had every intention of purchasing the Kubota work light. When moving the tractor one night I noticed that I had very little light when driving with the Bucket raised on the front end loader. At this point I decided to build a light bar. I did this light bar build without drilling into the ROPS.
My light bar is made of aluminum(pained black) with LED light. The aluminum was purchased from ALRO steel company. These people were awesome as they made the 26" cut for the main bar and the 2" cuts for the top pieces.
My lights and wiring kit were purchased thru Amazon. Wire kit was only for switch, in line fuse and relay.
My hardware (nuts, bolts, spray paint, xtra wire and misc items) from Home Depot.
The tool box was from a cheap set I purchased for Harbor freight. I decided to add the larger tool box for more tractor stuff and for the wiring/fuse/light switch for the work lights. I did not want to cut a hole in the dash and have wiring running back and fourth along the tractor frame. I spent two hours talking myself out of drilling a hole in the dash. The switch is mounted on the side of the tool box. See picture 5 (lights on front view)and zoom in for the red dot.
I ran the light off the 10amp work light loom under the left rear fender.
I have attached pictures. I did not add the pictures for the work on the larger tool box as it is not finished. I also have wiring that is not zip tied to ROPS due to the fact I forgot to get extra zip ties. It will be neat and tidy when done.
These lights were night and day difference. I used spots on the front for distance, Floods on rear with one pointing down for Tool Box/PTO/3 Point area. I am so glad I did not go with the factory unit.

NiiLight Spot (front) $16.99
