Have you thought about how your going to wire it all into your machine?

Have you thought about how your going to wire it all into your machine?

Running an 8 guage wire from the battery with fuse to the back to a toggle switch then to the main toggle panel.

I hooked everything up to a battery to test everything and stress load it. Everything ran good.

8 guage is probably over kill but don't want to overheat any wires or factory connections.

I like the idea of the kill switch so it won't draw juice when sitting.

I imagine it’ll work just fine. I don’t know Kioti wires there tractors but a few of us on here used the work light connection to power a relay and fuse block. Then everything’s tied to the ignition switch. No key no juice.

I saw that... I may test that out before running it all the way to the battery. Good thinking ��

Can't wait to see the finishing touches on the canopy. I also used a golf cart top for my canopy. Now you have me thinking that I need to add a radio and speakers like yours!

Fortunately, I was able to get some of the mounting legs from the golf cart, they ended up being the perfect angle to mount the canopy. I used some 2" square tube that is bolted to the ROPS, then the canopy mounts fit into them, secured with a couple of pins. These pics are the first mounting using just the u-bolts....

Here is one with the square tube mounts, you'll have to zoom in to see the details..... I thought I had a close up pic, but can't find it..... The square tube makes it an easy on / off if needed. These pics also show the mirrors I put on.... $24 bucks including the mounting arms. They are for "doors off" Jeep Wrangler.

I like the bent arms. I got to get the top out there and measure out the supports.

Any progress on the top?

Any progress on the top?

Yeah, if this is still on the dining room table, I'm guessing he's in the dog house!!
