Rear Work Lamp Options

[tderrick]

The 8N is finally retired and placed onto the restorative back burner along with the 640 Red Tiger. A brand new 3901 has arrived with loader, hay spears and cutter.
Life is good.

I passed on getting a factory installed rear work lamp and decided to research options myself.

Any ideas?


thx

You can get some led lights and put them on the ROPS ......

Ya or you can just make your own set up...I have a light bar facing front and 1 round facing rear..........

I used some PVC pipe pucks as spacers & clamped a pipe over my ROPS. Drilled holes in that bar & put generic LED cubes on it. I wanted to securely mount things but not modify the ROPS. Was some random towel rack square pipe or something & a couple square U bolts so dead easy.

Forget where I wired it to, under the dash somewhere as I put a switch on the dash. All the Kubotas have a ignition switched plug under the left (standing behind looking forward) fender. Its 10 or 15 amps, plenty for 4 LED cubes.

The plug is either the male or female Original 2 pin Power connector for VHF/UHF Power cords - Power source side | Powerwerx. Common ham radio plug, but it's hard to figure that out & not well documented. You still need a switch or 2 if you use that circuit.

Ebay for led lights made my own switch bracket..........

81mm Round Magnet

I used these magnets to mountfront and rear LED lights on BX (volts/watts = amps) a 5 a watt light = (12/5) 2.4 amp fuse or 5 amp for pair of lights. You could run from lighter socket or wire to switch/fuse/battery.

Made something more elaborate For the B
