ROPS lights

[MF 1532]

I'm not really worried about a couple of small holes in the ROPS but I do raise and lower it and any wire harness would have to have enough slack to deal with the ROPS being up and down in the middle of winter. I'm not sure if the standard plastic wire loom. I figure I'll worry about it when the time comes.

I ran my wiring through ROPS , and was concerned about pinching wires . Where the ROPS hinges I ran wires through a 2 foot section of rubber fuel line . When I raise or lower ROPS this fuel line seems to be tough enough to protect the wires .

I had some more time to work on the lights. I moved the rear work light down under the ROPS so it wouldn't hit the lower part of the ROPS when folded down. I also did run the wires through the ROPS. The ROPS is 4 pieces. The top folding section and then the middle section and finally two pieces that attach to each axle. The wires come out of the ROPS right at the joint between the middle and lower sections. Since it's an unwelded seam it's not structural.

I thought about putting some work lights on the ROP on my B3300 also but then I realized; dusk is natures way of saying "time to quit and get some rest". :laughing:

Maybe for you. But for some of us that head into work while it's still dark and then get dragged into a meeting that lasts until it's dark again, the only seat time we can get is...when it's dark. Take it whenever I can get it! :thumbsup:

I rarely use my lights spring, summer, fall. They are used 90% of the time in winter moving snow early morning hours (5:00 am) or late into the evening/night. Philip.

Bingo! That's why I put lights on my BX. 99% of their use will be for snow removal. I added mine last March after snow season basically ended and have yet to find out how well they work. That should change soon enough however. :thumbsup:

I went with two 35 watt trap's for the front and one 35 watt flood for the back. Decided to go with 35 watts so I could run all three off of the 10 amp rear work light accessory circuit. I did run separate hots for the front and rear so I can use them independently. Along with the front headlights, it should be enough light for pushing snow at a whopping 5 mph. :laughing:

Snow??? Sorry, couldn't resist.
