GC1723 electrical question

[Dmacleo]

didn't do amp draw with them on but there is zero noticeable effect. also left on for 30 minutes with old battery and tractor started just fine even cold.

Not to be rude but how tall are you people or your roll bar? That light as it痴 mounted would give the back of my head a nice sunburn. The road ahead of me wouldn稚 get any light past my fat head. I moved my turn signals to the inside and mounted some really bright LEDs in their place on the outside of the roll bar.

this was an issue so I used a rough cut hemlock 4x4x20 (really 5x5x20) under light on top of rollbar for that EXACT reason. It was a huge issue.
I am 6' even and I now have no issues. the pic was from a little before i had tested and inserted the hemlock.
the real big gain in how I did stuff was the 4 reverse leds. 2 straight back and 2 pointed down towards 3pt area really helps. I literally just got off tractor after using them in dark to move trailer around. the bracket for turns on outside was perfect mount for the straight back.

edit: with the 1723 you have the taller2 part rollbar due to backhoe don't you?

edit: added pic with spacer

Those bolts look like they hurt your head in a rollover. You should cover them.
I have the tall rollbar with the backhoe and the light works under the ROPs for me.

I have clearance for head, did check that, do plan on encasing with hose at some point.

I moved my turnsignals lamps inside also... As replacement assembly cost $125..... Yes you can guess how I know..... And for placing auxiliary lamps on out side or on on top of ROPS... Ain't going to happen for me.... Sever scratches on ROPS and trees limbs where they collided, ultimately for me it would destroy any lamps mounted there.... Just something to think about....

my signals have the welded on protector brackets too, so moving them not as easy if needed. I did try lights fwd on turn signal bracket but was too hard on my eyes every time I turned my head.
what works for some doesn't for others

Yeah had a bit of light in my eyes too so I put some blinders on them. I love the led lighting though.I don’t have a lot of money invested in them so I won’t be crying if I break one. The turn signals would be another story.
