4300 Quote

I would have to say that it is because of the brush guard and how they mount.

Now, if you're creative.... probably adaptable.

I saw the different light types (trapzaoidal, flood, spot) at my local JD dealer and, believe it or not, they were cheaper that Quality Farm and Fleet!!

I think that the lights would work on any tractor as long as you have a flat surface to mount the bracket to. The lights are held on by only one bolt and could probably be mounted on either a vertical or horizontal surface. The the lenses look like they may be optimized for horizontal mounting however. I'll look closer at the lights when I get home tonight and let you know what I find.

After taking a closer look at my lights, here is what I found. The lights throw a very wide and diffused light, probably classified as floods. The lights are not as bright as the halogen headlights on my 4300. There were no indications of the wattage either on the light or in the installation manual. Each light comes with about four feet of two-conductor wire, so they do not need to be mounted on a grounded surface. The lights will point either straight forward or straight backward by loosening the horizontal mounting bolt and flipping the light over vertically. On a 4300 with folding ROPS you will need to insert the ROPS pins from the inside instead of the outside in order to allow the lights to flip. A little creative grinding on the mounting brackets would allow the lights to be pointed more toward the ground in both the forward and reverse directions. If I were to mount them on a tractor without the warning light brush guards, I would mount them on the underside of the top bar of the ROPS. With the folding ROPS I like the existing mounts because the lights don't move if the ROPS is folded down. Hope this helps.

Again, thanks for the information. I have already lined up the rear work light and was told that it points down towards the implement (or ground). The picture of your 4300 (besides making the wait until delivery on Monday next to impossible) makes me think that the ROPS lights could come in very handy. I have one more call to make with a few more items on the list now. I will try and take a picture next week for your "review". Matt
