Not the greatest pic but mine are mounted above the turn signal to the right side. Mostly I mounted them there because I didn’t want to mess with always putting the ROPS up all the time. The bad is the glare would be less annoying if they were higher up. JD has some wires already at the back of the tractor you can plug into and then the new lights come on with the factory switch.

... I'm also going to add a Wire quick disconnect so I can remove them from the tractor and install them on the Metal racks of my 4 Wheeler .

Anyone suggest and good Weather resistant Quick disconnect that I don't need special tools to install ??
I suggest something that seems to be called "SAE cable quick connect". I first noted these years ago with Battery Minder battery chargers. For my small tractor, I added the words "sidewall port" to the search so I now have a fixed port at a convenient location in the sheetmetal. Used a multi-step drill bit to make the hole. That port is wired to the battery (I chose to add an in-line fuse), so now my 'accessory' can be plugged or unplugged with no dangling wires left behind on the tractor. Plus, I guess I can also plug a battery charger into the port if I need to.

I have it pointing just ever so slightly down. The lights never bothered me. Basically starts getting bright at the beginning of the hood.
Thanks for sending this! Do you mind giving me the link to the package you bought I like how clean it looks. Also if there is a more commercial/brighter package could you please also provide that! Are you able to tilt the light bar up and down? I want to really be able to see what’s in front of me… Also, can you turn the rear one off individually? If you could provide the links to the stuff I need to buy to set up and I just have to click on it I would so much appreciate it!!!! Thanks y’all.

I figure the TBN Braintrust has lots of good advice, links and pics. Looking for any ideas on mounted LED lights on my ROPS bar for my Kubota B2320 TLB. I’m tired of the dark kicking out of my seat when things to do (digging, plowing etc). Preferably I need better lights forward and back, or at min able to flip over.

Let’s see what you have.

Thanx in advance,

I have a 4120 John Deere and lights that came with it was not enough for night time work . I added lights (2) in the front and the back hook up were easy because there were extra connections already on the tractor for them. Got them from JD dealer and they are great.

Bravoxray I hope that you have some protection on
the wires that come out of the hole in the ropes so
the jiggle of the tractor don't cut the coating on the
wires for a short circuit!!!!!!!!:unsure:

The lights with the amber lens will help keep the
bugs away

Welded and drilled holes in your ROPS, you gonna die! :eek:
:ROFLMAO: (y)

If I have attached LEDbar to the holes which already was on ROPS, is it also deadly risk ?


Asking for friend :ROFLMAO:

This is what I did front & rear LED light bars. My ROPS go over my top when Lights are needed.

Buy several of them-- they are cheap enough to have a few in your toolbox.

I'm embarrassed to admit I didn't know this was standard across many manufacturers, and it makes life so much easier.

Here's how we accidentally found out.

Dad: We need to bring your weed sprayer over to the church.
Me: I know, but the connector is damaged.
Dad: Let's see what we have laying around.

We move the battery tender out of the drawer about five times while looking for something that will work. Finally, we both look at the battery tender and each other.

Me: Surely it can't be this easy.
Dad: It might be even easier than we think.

We dig out and old car radio, and it also has the SAE connector. All of them were interchangeable and worked fine to get the sprayer working.

I'm sure all of you knew about this, but we just discovered it this year. And on accident.
