Re: Name the EF-5 Contest

You don't need to call the machine anything when you're on it. And when you can't be on it 'cause something is wrong you will be calling it [censored], or PITA, or something like that.

Wait, I thought we were naming the tractor not the owner /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Re: Lights

Well, here's a picture of one set of lights on the EF-5 lit up, in bright mode. This is basically what you would see if the turn signal was on and the brake lights were on.

The picture was obviously taken with flash, so that gives you a bit of an idea how bright the lights are...

Re: Lights

Here's another, taken from the back. The lights are somewhat directional, so they're a lot brighter here because you're looking straight at them, and the camera is closer. It's hard to tell because of the overload, but the top light is the red brake light, and the bottom one is the amber hazard light.

Holy crap, Mark!!! /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif

I dimmed my monitor and still had to squint. /w3tcompact/icons/cool.gif

I'm starting to understand the tonnage of candlepower them LED's are putting out, but with regards to using them as a backing-up warning device, is there any chance you could take similar pictures while the tractor is in direct sunlight?

Not trying to challenge their worth, fer sure, but now I'm just plain curious.

Re: Lights

Sure, Harv, I'll try to do it tomorrow morning...

As far as using them for a backup device, I don't think they'd work in daylight. At the very least, the unintended victim would need to be facing the tractor... Now, at nighttime, it's a different story - they light up the night!

Re: Lights

That indeed would be an eye catcher if one was to come upon you Mark while traveling at night. /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif

So what new device shall be next. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif
If your dealer wanted to sell more EF-5's,he should contract you in some form and show your EF-5 at his dealership or events.

You done a heck of a job w/your own personal touch,and I given others many ideas.
