Adjusting/Aiming headlights - X728 Ultimate

[06MonteSS]

Hey there..

I have a 2012 X728 Ultimate... I had to replace the headlight housing, since it was leaking and water was getting inside... So had to remove the grill, adjustment screw, etc to get the headlight housing swapped with the new one..

Now, my question is, what is the correct way to adjust/aim the headlights?? I know you turn the adjustment bolt to make the lights go up or down, but what is the correct/proper height/throw that they should be adjusted to???

for example, I know for car headlights, they say to be 20-25 feet from a wall, top of headlight beams should be X-amount of feet high from the ground, etc.. So what is the proper scenario for adjusting these tractor headlights on the X728??

I've searched online, in service manuals, etc and have found nothing regarding proper adjusting/aiming of the headlights...

Thanks in advance!

I adjust them so they light up the mowing area if mowing at night, or the trail up ahead for low hanging branches if traveling a trail at night.

On my gator, one is aimed higher than the other, so high and low are "covered".

Likely the rules/guideines exist for car headlights so that on dim, the lights are not in the oncoming drivers eyes.

Hope that helps..

That would also work good for coon hunting. One down to watch the trail, one shining up into the trees!
