Cigarette Lighter

[marhar]

I am interested in installing a cigarette lighter on my tractor. I do not plan on smoking! It may be nice to charge a phone while working.

Has anyone ever added a cigarette lighter to a tractor without a cab.

Did it a few years ago on our TC40D... Wife uses it for that exact purpose... charging her phone. Used a marine grade outlet, figured if it could withstand a marine environment it would be fine on the tractor. It has held up very well... I do have it setup so it is powered anytime the tractor is running & is on a delay timer so it will disconnect from power after 20mins when the ignition is turn off.

I added one under the seat just last year to power an emergency amber light I put on the rops.
I used 12 ga. wire and routed it to the battery.

You would be better off with a USB hub rather than the old cig lighter socket that will most likely vibrate any adapter loose. Search hard wired usb for motorcycle that are weather resistant.

That's exactly what I did and for the same purpose.

I installed one of those Voltmeter/USB chargers just like dj1701 linked. Later one I ended up installing a 12v socket for the beacon.

I installed this voltmeter/usb port combo with a waterproof cover on my open station Kubota last year. It is close to my phone holder. I can charge and listen to music with my blutooth sound deadening headphones while I mow etc. Works great. $15 on Amazon here > https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L9Q5GD3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I installed a USB hub charger on my tractor to charge my phone so I could stream music to my headphones when mowing.

The Power Wagon has a USB outlet/charger - amongst several other type outlets. It's covered with a "snap down" cover. Nothing to loose or find when I use this outlet. Ever notice how every thing tends to roll way back under your seat.

However - I most frequently use the 120V inverter outlet to keep my cell phone charged.

Got these little coiled up charge cords. One stays plugged in at the tractor all the time. Amazon again > https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07S9RMZ3C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have one on the little Ford to power the sprayer.

If you plan on installing a cancer stick lighter in your tractor for smoking purposes then good on you. What's up with the exclamation point? Are you going to stop eating fried chicken because it makes you fat, and helps lead to heart attacks? I don't smoke.... 85% of the time. Still smoking is good for stress relief in stressful situations. If you don't want to smoke then awesome. If you do want to smoke, and want to install a cigarette lighter in your tractor to help you do so, then that's " COOL" in the fact that you're an adult, and it's your business to do so if you please. This is Merika!

Mate... the OP is simply referring to the type of electrical receptacle; the round one that used to be used for a vehicle's cigarette lighter. They are still used today but for alternative purposes.

The OP wants to plug in an amber hazard light on top of his ROPS, not a cigarette lighter.

Heck, my '07 ute has a couple of these receptacles that I can plug in a USB adapter/jack.


Edit: I just re-read the OP's original post and he doesn't want to power a hazard light (I and SARG did, using this type of receptacle)... all the OP wants to do is provide power for a USB adapter/jack. He, adamantly states that it's not for a cigarette lighter. It is, as I stated, what is colloquially known as a 12VDC, round, "cigarette" type of electrical receptacle.

Somebody is a little defensive... no worries, were all okay with you smoking so long as we don't have to share it. Years ago many of us did smoke. I saw a bunch of old celeb pics and quickly noticed hey - everybody was smoking. lol - Myself included but I quit 25-30 yrs ago. Scared I might still get the big C.

It is a proven fact that almost 100% of the people that died in the last 50 years either smoked or were exposed to second hand smoke at some point in their lives.

Also they all drank water.

Can't tell which contributed to their death.

I don't think you need to worry about John Holmes rising up from the grave, and man raping you for smoking. If smoking leads to the big C then I feel that we'd have a lot more ******, and gay men advocating for cigarettes. Why is it taboo to smoke Cigarettes? It's okay to be racist against people for smoking cancer sticks, but you can't be racist against people who dress up as the opposite *** they were born, and strip for little kids? I quit smoking about 20 years ago as well, but eventually started up again, then I quit again, and started again, and quit again, etc, etc. I generally don't smoke, but will sometimes get a hankering for a Newport, and will go buy a pack. Not because it's good for my health, but because I want to do it. Cigarettes have about gotten too expensive to justify.

Still there are several benefits to smoking cigarettes. As I previously said, they're good for stress relief. It acts as a suppository. It helps you look cool in high school, and helps you elevate your social status among your more popular pears. Smoking cigarettes is great for social gatherings during say your breaks at your place of employment. They give you something to do to help pass the time while you're bored out of your mind after sitting in your tractor seat for 8-9 hours mowing hay, etc. If you smoke weed they help elevate your high, or help pick it back up when you start coming off it. Many benefits to smoking, but like most things there are negatives to it as well. As an adult you should be able to decide whether or not it's for you without being discriminated on for it.

We don't smoke but I put a lighter on mowers. I powered straight to battery with an inline 20 amp fuse right at battery +, that way everything is protected (closer to battery the better). When Flys and bugs are at peak I'll carry a cigar! I'm talking about a few a year, so don't consider myself a smoker.

You asked the point of the exclamation mark: My tractor has no cab. Smoking and cutting hay is dangerous; it is dangerous to my property and my neighbor's. Are you frustrated because you cannot stop smoking?

Well, not really. Cutting green grass is highly unlikely to ignite it due to a cancer stick unless it's extremely dry out... Now tedding, raking, or baling dried grass you may have a point. Still you go back 40-50 years, and probably 90% of farmers smoked. You need to be responsible with your smoking. Don't just flick your lit cigarette butt into a bunch of dry grass.

Yes, I'm so furious that I can't quit smoking.... Okay, maybe not. I haven't had a cigarette in 3-4 weeks. I've gone over 2 years without a cigarette before. I just enjoy nicotine, and will smoke a pack every 1.5-2 months because I feel like it, and could careless what anyone thinks of smoking. If you don't smoke then I'd recommend not starting. It can lead to cancer among other things, and has gotten way too expensive to justify buying a pack a day. Smoking a pack of premium brand cigarettes a day during today's time will cost damn near $70 a week. Probably over $250 a month. At the same time if someone wants to smoke then that's their business, and people should leave people who smoke alone about it. I'm sure most people understand the risks. If you're 70 lbs overweight then you have 0 business knocking someone else for being unhealthy. If you have more than 1 or 2 drinks after work you have no business bashing smokers. If you have unprotected *** with anyone other than your spouse you have no business knocking smokers. If you're a tailgater, someone who forgot how to use a blinker, or speeds obsessively then you have no business knocking smokers. Judge not, least ye be judged. Exclamation points emphatically letting people know that you're not smoking leads one to believe that you look down on others who do smoke and have an addiction to nicotine. I don't drink coffee, but I don't frown on people who do, and who have an obvious addiction to it. "I can't function in the morning before I've had my coffee!" (Exclamation point) Well then I would say that would be a good reason not to drink coffee if you ask me. "I need a new coffee maker. Not for drinking that poison! I need to brew my tea." See what I mean.
