5030 blowing headlight bulbs

[razor]

I was just curious if anybody else goes through headlight bulbs like I do on my 5030. I only use the tractor for snow and put on approx 300 hrs per season. In a season I will go through about 5-6 headlight bulbs. It is not a big deal but it seems like a lot to me.

that is a big deal, you need to check what is up with your alternator and distribution system, (Voltage and wiring).
What ever is causing this can be effecting your complete electrical system and could get costly over time.

It is strange that is it is only the headlights bulbs, all the other bulbs are still the original ones.

Check the wiring especially the ground side, check the voltage...
the headlight bulbs have the least resistance and there fore will be more susceptible to voltage spikes originating in the alternator or circuit continuity in the electrical system, I would try to locate the problem because it is frequent enough that there is something common to the failure occurring far to often.
