New tractor, first few upgrades installed!

[Greenvalleymatt]

My 2021 mahindra 1626 was delivered last Friday, I love it! Have used the loader a few times so far, but it's to wet to do any dirt work. So far I've installed a steering wheel spinner knob, and a 126 watt light bar to use for night mowing in our hot Texas summer heat. What other basic upgrades would y'all recommend for comfort use?

A canopy!!!

Have you used the light bar yet? Does it really make a difference at night such that you can mow in the dark?

Thanks.

I'll take pictures when it gets dark of then headlights vs the light bar, it's a huge difference! Most people mount them on the rops, but this tractor has the rops right close to the top of my head, and I know bugs are attracted to light, so I'm not trying to draw them all to my face.

Great. I’ve been thinking about it for my tractor but wondered how well they work. It sure would be nice to mow a little past dusk in the summer.

a radiator fan is cheaper than a cab, may allow daytime mowing

First is low beams, then high, then light bar. I reckon I'll run with both high and the bar on.

I'm retired. So there is NOTHING so important that I need to do it at night.

However - if you do work at night - consider a 12V marine work light from JA McDermott. McDermott Light & Signal

One of these 50 watt( DC ) lights will give an all new meaning to "daylight".

They will survive in any environment and are used by commercial fishing boats and the like.

Cmon down to north Texas in July/August. You’ll mow at night. 102-108 with humidity and blazing sun (canopy or not) is tough on a body, retired or not! (24” harbor freight led bar)
