I have a B7800 that is prety much just a lawnmower. Since I added a grill-guard, however, I can't see to mow at dusk and want to add lights up front.
I have added lights to a roll bar in the past but was not happy with the shadows it created and have added to grill guards but still had some shadows.
Has anyone added lights to the front weight bracket? Seems like it might be a better idea. I use lights with an on-off button and just run a wire to the battery with a fuse in the middle so it's an easier hookup. On-off switch is the button itself. I have few trees so not really worried about hitting anything.
I see farm tractors with lights often mounted like this and wonder if anyone has any thoughts on this idea. Seems like it would give better light and no shadows?

I made a bracket with magnets on it and fed the light with a piece of extension cord and just stick the light where-ever it does the most good and tie the cord with velcro straps so it can't get into trouble. If nothing else a setup like this would give you the chance to try lights in different places until you find the spot that works best.
