Just got a new B2320 delivered. Traded in the BX1860. I have a set of the BXpanded work lights I kept and want to install in the B.

Anyone know where the harness for work lights is located? Does the B have the same type bullet connectors?

Should be under the right fender. Mine had blue tape over the bullet connectors to identify their location.

I couldn't find mine, at first blush, either.
It was buried under some tape. It's easy to "miss", but it's there. Approach from the rear, it will be on your right. :)

Yep, look for the blue tape on the harness under the right fender and carefully unwrap it to free two bullet connectors.

Does anyone know what the maximum amperage for lighting that can be tapped off of this location? I'm adding two lights (1.5A each).

Look at the work light fuse in the fuse box under the hood. On my 2920, that circuit has a 20A fuse (which seems overly optimistic to me given that the alternator only puts out 20A).

No doubt, two 1.5A lights should be fine.

Here is a question, i have been thinking about work lights as well, but my question is this. The connectors you are talking about under the right fender, are they connected to the factory light switch? So when i turn on the headlights the new lights i would install work?

Someone here may know the answer right off, but why not check with a meter? Should take no time.

I'm pretty sure power is supplied all the time. In other words, the lights will need to have their own separate switch. (The Kubota rear light kit actually has an integrated switch built into the light.)

As for the max amperage, the best way to determine this is to check the wire gauge to make sure it can handle the load adequately. Even though there's a 20 amp fuse in the fuse holder, this is not always the best way to determine the proper load rating of the circuit. (I'm NOT saying the wiring can't handle 20-amps, but it's best to be safe and verify the wiring is capable of handling that load first before plugging anything into it.)

As for the output of the dynamo (alternator), I believe the charging capacity is right around 14.5 amps. So unless you have the 40 amps alternator upgrade option, you will need to be careful how much lighting you install on the tractor as you could end up draining the battery.
