Ideas for lighting on a ROPS tractor

[JeepHead]

I spend a lot of time in my woods and often times I am out after dark. My Kubota only has the front and side LED's which don't offer the best light as the loader blocks most of it. Looking for ideas on what ya'll have done for lighting. I am getting ready to start fabricating a new grill guard once the metal arrives. Plan to start tackling the lighting around the same time.

On my 4105 ROPS, I've simply mounted a 6-LED lightbar underneath the top of the ROPS. I used a couple of cut-up "koozie' foam neoprene around the ROPS for anti-vibration and a couple of metal circular clamps to secure.

My tractor has one, dedicated, male/female bullet jack, behind the seat, which came hard wired to the light switch @ the fully ON position. You can ask your dealership if this is the case for your Kubota... I didn't know of this 'jack' until a mechanic pointed it out to me.

I ran the power to the lightbar along the ROPS simply using cable-ties (zip-ties?).

I used the factory bolt holes where the ROPS folds and picked up a couple LED cubes and put one in each. I actually cut my factory wire harness behind the stock headlights and ran the wire back to these ones. I have the work light wiring that is already at the rear of the tractor for the rear mounted LED cubes also.

I added (4) LED lights to ROPS on our tractor, (2) forward & (2) rear facing; & the only thing I regret is not having done it sooner. I wanted the lights to be to the inside the ROPS hoop so they would be less likely to be caught on something (branch, tree, etc.)

I was originally going to make brackets to mount the lights, but found some brackets fairly inexpensive & with a couple modifications, we have been happy with them. Also added (2) independent switches to control the front & rear lights separately.

I have a steel canopy on my tractor and I mounted a foward facing light bar and a rear facing flood/spot light to the underside of the canopy.

Appreciate the feedback guys! I am just looking for ideas and these are certainly good ones!

You could always mount a couple lights on the FEL arms.

I mounted mine on the side of my rops since I don’t always put mine up. I was able to tie it into the factory harness as they have a couple of unused plugs for adding lights. Mine are LED’s.

Nice. I just ordered this one for my tractor. Used the lights last night and they illuminate the back of the loader bucket

You will like that mounted high. It’s very similar to the 8” light bar that I have. I also mounted a small rear facing light.
