Added a couple lights for plowing this winter. Not sure how much I like the lights though, I might switch to something that has a broader beam. It was nice to have a power and ground already wired to the back of the tractor. If anyone has any suggestions for better lights let me know.

I like um. You might want to move them inside the ROPS . Might be less likely to knock them off via a tree branch.

Yeah I was thinking that too, if I have enough headroom I might just flip them around.

Heck or just getting them into the barn door behind the tractor. Was there seperate wiring for this or did you come off the existing light wiring. I took my old yellow flashers off and replaced them with rear facing lights but was looking at what you did as a better option.

On my Kioti there is a power and ground already wired to the back of the tractor. So I just went through that and put in a separate switch. Mine is a 2011 not sure of your year so maybe that is something they started recently.

I have two in front on the cab and these two on ROPs. The fronts are halogens but these incandesents on the back are sufficient. I try to keep all addons tucked in for close clearances.

Just get a new tractor, I went from a Kubota to Kioti and so far I am happy.... Just think, you would save like $10-15 in wiring!
