What lights would you recommend?????

[LBrown59]

Does anyone know if I can add other color lights and still be leagal. I was thinking maybe green LEDs on the sides along with some amber ones, just have to be bright enough.
I would still keep the roof mounted rotating beacon amber.

Laws regarding what color lights are legal for specific uses vary widely from state to state. Check your state DOT website for the specifics for your state. Good luck.

Don't think the law has any say about this on private property.

They look light the size lights I am looking for to put on the side of the tractor, 2 for each side. What color do you have? I was thinking just amber but then maybe a green or blue.

I have the amber/amber lights.

What do you guys think about this one.Whelen Engineering Guardian Halogen Mini Light Bar Magnetic Mount, Model# G2MA | Light Bars | Northern Tool + Equipment

Whelen makes a good product.
id recomend these Grote LED strobes/Grote LED Strobe Light Yellow 77363. They are self contained, just need 12V and are pretty low profile. Dont forget the gromet and pigtail . Premade brackets are also available in different configurations. LED are alot easier on your battery and next to no maintenance. 2 of these on the front of the cab and 2 on the rear if you can fit them,and they'd see you for miles

IIRC in NY green is reserved for volunteer ambulance squad members, you are probbaly ok offroad, but if you are clearing the right of way (like be the driveway) and happen to go on the road, you could be given a ticket. go to NYS GTSC - Vehicle & Traffic Law - Section 375 (41) for more info

Well I ended up getting 4 of the LED lights Blagadan reccomended for the sides of my tractor. I got 2 amber and 2 green. I will put one of each on each side and have them on an alternating flash.
I am going to take my chances with the green LED as I know most of the cops and all of the judges pretty good in my neck of the woods and the rules/regs dont go into detail on exactly what colors you can have on a tractor. I just figure more lights the better.

I have seen a couple people up there tractor from one end to the other with the christmas rope lights that were multi colors flashing and dont believe anything was said to them. I know one person that has done it for years plowing his driveway on a main road.

Another thing I was thinking about was putting head and tailight flashers in like on Walker Texas Rangers truck. Will the tractors electrical system handle them and has anyone done this before on a tractor or a truck.

The side lights and flashers will only be used while plowing not in transport between driveways.

Well let me know what you guys think.


And where are everyones pictures of their lights. Am I the only one thinking about safety?

Oh yea forgot. My buddy gave me a single beacon amber light to put on the roof courtesy of the NYS Thruway for now until I get some more money to spare and get a bigger one. Should be fine for now.
