B7335 light kit for the B2320

[steverichmond]

I see several fols have been posting their light projects so I thought I would share my B7335 light kit install. I'm impressed with the quality of the kit, especially the lamp assembly. It seems to rugged and well built. Installation was a breeze and best of all, no splicing! Anyone considering doing this, Kubota did a great job with it.

I finally got this kit from my dealer and am going to instal soon. It looks like you have the light mounted on the lefthand side of the ROPS. My kit does not have enough wire to run from the left side to the power conector on the right hand side. Did you add wire or is there another worklight conection? Could you post more details and photos?

It looks great. Can it be used on a B3030? How much did the kit cost?

 

[steverichmond]

It entire kit cost $75.00 (mounting bracket, light and wire harness) and I ordered online from Emerich Sales.

I had planned on putting it on the righ hand side but the instructions showed it mounted on the left. There was connection in the tail light area so I used it. I didn't check the right hand side be I suspect there is a connector there as well. I could see it being useful to mount a light on each side. It Worked out great, and I didn't have rig up any switches, there is a switch on the back of the light any anytime the key is on power is available for the light.

Thanks,
Steve

Emerichs is where I got my tractor. Luckily for me they are a 4 minute tractor ride from my house, great dealer light looks great. I am thinking of also adding these as the headlights seem to be blocked by the grill guard. I think I might add one on each side. It appears in your picture the ROPS are folded. I guess there is no issue w/ the wire and folding of the ROPS? Thanks

 

[steverichmond]

You are lucky to be so close to a great dealer. In the picture I had the ROPS folded to the first notch. This is because of my garage door and when working I put them fully upright. There is enough slack in the wire harness to allow for this.

Thanks,
Steve

I looked for the rear work light conector on the left hand side of the tractor today. I was unable to find any conection on the left hand side. The instructions clearly show the conector on the left side. I do have a work light conection on the right side under the fender near the tailights. Is my tractor different than everyone elses for some reason? What do others have for rear work light conections?

 

[steverichmond]

I seem to recall the connection being covered with black electrical tape in the tailight area. I simply cut open and there were the connectors. The instructions lead you be believe the connection is closer to the seatbelt area. Let me know if still have trouble finding it, and I take a pic. HTH

A picture would be great. I can not seem to find anything on the left hand side. You are right the picture in the instructions leads you down towards the seatbelt, but I looked by the tailight too.

 

[steverichmond]

Ok, I've attached a pic. This is very difficult to photgraph since the rear tire is in way of my camera. I've carefully looked at the wiring in the left hand tail light area. The plasic tube protected male and female connectors you seek are at the very end of the jacketed feed harness leading to the tail light from the main tractor. At the very end of this feed harness there are 2 red with a purple strips wire(hot) and 2 black (grnd) one of the red/purple and one of the black wire terminate into a block connector which feeds the amber sided turn signal mounted on the ROP bar. (green and black wires) The second red/purple and black wire are terminated with clear plactic sleeved male and female connectors. (these are the connections you seek). Like I said earlier. I recall these connections buried under some proctective electrical tape from the factory. HTH

Thanks for the info. I will do some more looking when I am in the garage tomarow. Perhaps the wires are just hidden inside the loom from the factory. Have you looked to see if you have wires on the right side too for a work light. I am hoping that I have them on the left, as this would weork best for my work light.

 

[steverichmond]

Great idea!, I've not looked on the right side but will do just that next time I'm out in the shed

Thanks,

Steve,

Nice set up - really like the OEM work light on your B2320. I tried to find square shaped U-brackets but everywhere I checked they only had the rounded versions which wouldn't fit the square shaped ROPS. Ended up going with the Harbor Freight welding magnets to mount my ROPS lights.

The other issue for non TLB BX's is the low height of the ROPS - makes mounting regular sized lights under the ROPS impossible. I got some small square fog lights at Walmart for my BX1860. So far so good, but I might have to change over to a bracket mount if the magnets prove too weak.

Here's a few pics.

 

[steverichmond]

Farmall45,
I just checked the right side and there is NO connection for a light there. I suppose it's possible that Kubota has done some changes and yours could be on the right hand side. I would check it, if I were you.


Thanks,
Steve

 

[steverichmond]

Chris,
Thanks for the kind works. I never considered the the lower ROPS height on the BX to be a possible issue. I suppose a taller person may have problems with that type of setup. Is the light beam partially block by your head? Does Kubota sell an OEM aux light kit for the BX?


Thanks,
Steve

I believe Kubota sells a rear work light kit only. Not sure about OEM auxiliary forward ROPS lights. I haven't used them at night yet so I'm not sure how much blockage I'll experience. I can say that my ROPS lights are only inches above my head. I really wanted small round lights to mount on the sides of the ROPS but could only find driving lights in that size/shape and I wanted floods.

Steve Thanks again for sharing all the info, I will tackle this in the spring as I dont plow yet w/ the tractor so wont be getting any seat time till them , great job!

Has anyone else run into this, My rear work light leads are wired to the right hand side of the tractor. Others have them wired to the left hand side. Why is my tractor different that everyone elses and the diagrams from Kubota?

Farmall-

You are not alone. The connections are under the right fender on my B2620. I just got done hooking up the kit myself. I did a couple of things different so that it would work better. I flipped the mounting bracket upside down. You want the hole that the light mounts to towards the rear of the tractor. I also unscrewed the light fixture from it's bracket and turned it around. This oriented the switch correctly (so it wasn't upside down). The other thing I did different was I snaked the wire down behind the ROPS. It looks better and there is a notch in the boot to help fit the wire through without bulging it. It mounts fine to the right side of the ROPS as you can see. I didn't even spend 30 minutes doing it. Requisite pictures attached.

Have you guys gotten to use these in the dark yet? hows the light? Would you go this rout again? Thanks
