work light recommendations for 2x20...and some other upgrade questions

[MattEffinCameron]

I know this has been covered a bunch of times but a lot of the threads that pop up in my search results are older and I am interested in the most "current" info if available.

1. What is the best recommended LED worklight for the 2x20? Looking for flood lighting for snow clearing this winter (just bought a rear mount blower so rear facing will be a priority)

2. Do I need to, or should I think of, upgrading the electrical on my tractor at the same time? I believe the 2x20 came with 15amp alternator but an upgraded one was/is available? If you recommend upgrading any estimate on the cost and how difficult is installation?

3. What is the consensus for how to see where you're going? Does everyone just look over their shoulder? Lot of stiff necks? I saw one person on here had used a rear mounted camera with a screen on the dash...I was considering this route, or just using my gopro as the camera and my tablet/phone as the screen since there would be no install to speak of... Anyone tried using some kind of a mirror so you can face forward while blowing in reverse?

4. Finally....will the upgraded seat from the 2601/2650 bolt right up to the 2x20?

Thanks!

I have some inexpensive led lights on my 2620 I bought off ebay, round floods. They are mounted on magnets and can be quickly moved where I need them.
I belive they were about $40 a pair iirc and supposidly have CREE led's

I would upgrade to the 40a alternator, I belive it was about $175 for the kit last time I looked, install isn't bad.
The factory 15a system struggles running my 4 led lights, can't turn on the factory lights or it will start draining the battery.

I live with a sore neck, I don't have a rear blower but have other attachments that require looking back for extended periods of time.

As for the seat, it looks like it should bolt up as there doesn't appear to be a lot of changes in the trans area, but I can't speak from experience.
Go to the lot and get some measurements if possible?

I had the optional 40A alternator installed when I bought my B2620. Only downside to it is they have to put a different engine oil dipstick on the engine, so you now have to remove the side panel to check the oil.

I put a 120W Cree combination spot/flood light bar on and an 80W flood on the back. Very little power draw, and no glare snow blowing in winter. Just don't look up and back, LOL.

With both on I get 360* lighting. I can see the edges of my mm mower quite well.
