My New Wolo Light

[Don87]

Well, I decided to try it on the top of the ROPS...Here is the result:

I've knocked mine off several times with low branches, but I have wire ties on the cord hold it to the rops, so the light couldn't contact anything when it fell.

It has hit me in the back several times though :laughing::laughing:

That sucks. Does Wolo offer replacement parts? No doubt a new done will be as much or more than a new light.

That's why I think a cradle bracket mounted to the ROPS would allow the light to be up high where it's highly visible, yet somewhat protected.

What I did was order another amber light and get a pack of replacement domes. The pack of domes for $8 has a red and a blue one (not sure why there is not an amber )...So, I'll have a amber light and a red/blue light...

Not that it's a big deal, but I believe red and blue are reserved to government emergency vehicles per PA state law.

Actually, it is a big deal.

Firemen use blue lights(on personal vehicles). Police use red. Ambulances use red.

Don't ever get caught with a red flashing light on your vehicle in Pa. unless you have a badge.

And blue is skeptical also unless you are a fireman and responding to a fire (gonna be hard to explain a tractor responding to a fire call though).

You do bring up valid points!!
I just figured he wouldn't get ticketed (especially with the blue light), but it would be possible, I reckon.

BTW, CTF...did you buy that warning beacon to scare the geese away?

Seriously, what did you plug it into? Does the Kubota have a cigaret lighter or 12 volt outlet?

 

[radioman]

roy, yup it has a cig plug under the seat near floor board on the BX's as standard feature. CTF can use the direct wire connection in back of BX above pto shaft from wire loom if he wanted to for rops lights and amber flasher. :thumbsup:

The State Police are cracking down on everything around here, especially ATV's, they are writing tickets for even crossing a township road. They have literally run several ATV's off the road to make them stop.

True, but they can also be used by volunteer firefighters (blue) and volunteer fire officers (red).
