...THIS THREAD WAS MEANT TO BE HELPFUL & NOT A OPINIONATED GRIPE SESSION...

Welcome to TBN.

I've rarely seen a thread here where this did not happen. You'll have heart attack if you let it get to you.

You can also just change the bulb inside the incandescent light to an LED. Just a thought.

Why are you YELLING........ And why do you insist on being so "correct".... Every one here understands your first post, its justly that most of us don't care about over priced under nourishes work lamp, when something better is available for less........ Quite frankly I could not recognize a AGCO product from generic work light if the two were sitting side by side on a table....

You have made my point obvious!!!.& I clearly stated the point of this thread & it seems you still don't understand it & it has nothing to do with being correct.I used caps so it could be seen more clearly be seen & everything you posted on your reply is redundant,to what I already posted. & I put this information out for members who where looking for it. DL Meisen: have fun,& be safe!

This thread reminds me of an HID/LED message scrum on a car forum

How are your tractors holding up to those winters & do You have block heaters for them? Also have You put any additional lighting on your tractors & did You install them on ROPS ? & did You do a direct battery hookup ?

only had this one for one season, I do have block heater and battery maintainer. maintainer is really the most critical.
I wired (fused) direct off battery to 2 switches I mounted in left plastic wraparound piece so they would not get hit on accident but are easily reachable. one switch powers the 19" led facing fwd, other powers the 4 4inch lights which 2 face rear and 2 face onto my 3pt.
19 inch and the 2 facing 3pt are mounted to top of rops with a 4x4 spacer (I am not a tlb so my rops sits lower) to prevent head blocking light.
2 rear facing are hung right off the lower side of the blinker light guards. my gc2400 has guards welded to rops.
yeah I did have to drill rops, made informed decision on it but that method is not for everyone.

I bought my tractor last summer to make sure my wife could get her car all the way to the house instead of parking by the road in the winter. Then we had a pandemic and I never had to move any snow before the sun was up. I too have a thing about having plenty of light and I've read most of the threads here on TBN about adding it, but at this point I can't justify the expense of even adding inexpensive lighting. Looks like the break from moving snow in the dark is over so I'll see what happens next winter.

Thank You for your reply! I did notice the pictures from a earlier post , But I couldn't see how the where mounted because it was to dark ! But they where putting out some excellent light & thanks for the info on the install.

I just looked for sales, overstock etc. and bought those lights/light bars. If not too picky can always get something under $20. If you can do the wiring, but wire, soldering gun, cheap heat gun and shrink tubing (and put a fuse in line). Maybe a switch or two.
Buy over time and you'll be ready for next year.

MF1532 will have pics later of rev/pto lights (was daytime when finished) but 80$ for lights before tax.
fused power run from battery to 2 switches in right rear fender then one switch runs main fwd light and other runs the rev/pto lights. slack built in to allow tilting ROPS backwards as needed. 14g marine wiring used, sadly nobody locally has black coated marine wire.
