Trailer light wiring harness for 3320 CAB?

[oottoo]

Hi,
We use my 3320 to launch boats at a marina, i.e. we're pulling trailers (on the road) all the time.
Does anyone make a wiring harness to accomplish this, i.e. to run trailer lights from the 3320?
If no one knows of an off-the-shelf solution, any ideas about how to get this done? Thanks!

Do you have brake, turn and tail lites on your tractor now ?

Yes, the 3320 cab has running lights, brake lights, turn signals and flashers. That's why I'm surprised not to find a factory part to do what I need. But the dealer says there isn't one.

I would go and get a vehicle plug and wire it up
might cost you $5 or less

I think the dealer is correct. But MrJimi is correct, you probably can get a wiring kit from a trailer vendor and wire it up yourself. I think the rfeason it is not a part you can buy from Deere is that these are offroad vehivles and they probably don't want to encourage people to use them on the road? weird though, with all the other visibility-related safety equipment the trailer wiring harness sems like a no-brainer.

In the fuse compartment on mine position F-14(R) is labeled "Trailer Power Option", 30 amp fuse. The wire runs to the rear of the outside cab. Never had a use for it, but I thought it was for trailer lights. Might be worth checking on yours and asking dealer what it is for.

I am gonna check that out on my 4310 and my soon to be here 3520. That seems to make sense.

Probably there on the 3520 Cab,. that is coming since it is on the 3320 Cabs?

tglass, can you provide some pics, and especially the end of the wire

unless I'm a bit looney, which very well could be, I swear I saw a 7 pin connector on a 5603 the other day...maybe you could buy one and wire it up?

I thought you don't want the lights plugged in when you back the trailer into the water because hot bulbs and cold water shorten the bulbs life?

If this is not an issue, some zip ties, wire and Scotch lock splices run to your tail lights should work pretty good.

John Deere does sell a kit for larger farm tractors that uses 7 pin round connector. The kit number that I installed on my Dad's 1979 JD 4440 tractor is RE17282(according to JD parts website). I don't believe that "oottoo" wants this style, but I could believe that you would actually see that connector on slightly larger farm style tractors. It is getting more important to have good lighting and turn signals on this newer, larger farm equipment and grain wagons.
