Hello, Need some help with lights please.

Sandyc . . . you are absolutely correct! The alternator upgrades can be a wallet killer. It is important to know the system's abilities and the strain that will be added to the system by proposed modifications.

In my case, I did not upgrade, however it is one of the reasons why I chose 35watt lights instead of 55watt lights. I have 5 auxilary lights on my tractor (the 4 pictured on the ROPS plus another rear facing work light) and there is no way I would want to run all of them for any length of time, they would put too much draw on the system. There is also no reason to run fronts and rears at the same time. I also own a Kubota B2910 and chose not to add a full compliment of lights because Kubota doesn't put large enough alternators in their machines to allow for much playing around with extra lighting. I did add a 12-volt power outlet to that tractor, which I control with a waterpoof switch.

Thank you all for the great info /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif looks like fog lights are the way to go.

Bones, by the way, the 35 watt lights I used will not throw out enough light to meet your 50 yard desired light projection. I think you would need to look at 55 watt lights, and you should double check your alternator.
