X730 lack of rear flashing lights

[sriddle1]

I’m searching for the best solution to make-up for the shortfall in the X730 design, no rear flashers. I live in rural NH and we have some very hilly & winding roads so I need the best safety protection while I’m cutting or plowing along the road. On the X730 each rear light housing consists of a RED Lens and a Clear Lens. When going in reverse the bulb under the clear lens activates, also when choosing the “All Lights On” selector switch the bulb under the clear lens activates. Wondering if I can replace the clear lens JD UC12940 bulb with a 3157 amber flashing or strobe bulb (if there is such a thing). I’m not concerned about the reverse light function. If this is possible, I’d simply select the “All Lights” when working along the road and hopefully a bright LED amber bulb would be flashing, to alert drivers coming up behind me. Question, since I know nothing about LED Bulb Design is there a bulb that flashes or strobes when power is applied. Thanks

For your safety, I'd suggest fabricating a pole that has a flashing light on the top of it, and not rely on the low-down fender lights to alert traffic that you are in their road. Do everything you can to let the drivers know that you are in their space and save your life rather than risk it.
It's not a design fault as the lawn tractors should be on the lawn, not in the roadway.

Many on Amazon, such as:

Beenthere thanks for the response, not in their road, as stated: I’m cutting or plowing along the road. That means where the end of the driveway intersects the road. I'm hoping someone can answer the question about a flashing 3157 bulb.

I meant being in the road ROW (right of way). But you have a plan so wish you well going forward with that plan.

I believe European version of X7** have turn signals so makes me wonder if wiring is there just need to figure out where flasher plugs in.

Maybe they have completely different circuit boards.

oldnslo, Thanks for the response, yes, I also read the euro version had turn signals and I believe a flasher selection, I'll have to research that. It would be nice if I could find a flashing LED bulb, one that flashes when power is applied and doesn't need a separate flasher unit, if there's such a thing. The "All Lights On" selector certainly supplies continued power to the clear lens in the light assembly. Before buying this '22 X730 I owned a true workhorse, a 425 that had flashers, really miss that machine.
