How About a Horn?

[WranglerX]

For those you who have tractors that do no have a horn, how many times do you wish you had one..

Several occasion recently where I had to get attention of those working with me and a horn would have been nice to get their attention (working with amateurs)...

I use mine pretty often for that purpose.

Our HF equiv is Princess Auto. Occasionally they have their "Freeway Blaster" on sale. Great horn for a tractor. None of this Road Runner Beep Beep!

I use my horn rarely. Mostly to get my son’s attention when he is on the zero turn.

The horn is sort of “beep beep” as mentioned, but it works more often than not to get his attention.

I was thinking of putting an air horn on my snow plow tractor(dc compressor type). I already have an amber rotating beacon on it..

After a first few years of operating my new tractor (many years ago) I found myself yelling from inside of the cab (which didn't work at all) to get the wife's attention.

So I purchased/installed a cheap Napa Auto Parts vehicle 12v horn with a small push button/auto return activation switch in the dash.

I believe most tractor owners would agree very soon after installing one.

After reading a recommendation on T-B-N I purchased a Stebel brand motorcycle horn from Amazon.

The Stebel horn is LOUD.

hmmm, something my kid might hear over his always in place headphones.
Always getting ideas here at TBN.

My tractor came with a horn. 90% of the times I've used it, was by accidentally hitting it with my knee when looking back over my shoulder. The other 10% of the times actually came in handy.

ZERO The neighbors cows do not respond to the horn on my pickup - if I had a horn on my tractor, it would do no better.

You guys may have inspired me. Having raced street bikes for so many years and a plethora of parts in storage, I know I have several horn takeoffs that will fit the bill for my machine.

The rental tractor (Bobcat) had one and I used it often, to get the attn of co-workers (doing the hard/shovel) work. Using my current John Deere 855 (mostly alone), it would not help. Would I recommend one? Yes.

I put one on my brand new JD 318 garden tractor years ago. It was indispensable.....Everytime I honked the horn, Mrs.tiller would come running outside with a cold beer for me.

Now, not so much. I got my own beer fridg and she quit running. :laughing::drink:

 

[arkydog]

cant hurt!! unless its wired wrong, shorts out and tractor burns down!!!

My tractor came with one of course, but I have used if only rarely to get my wife's attention. It works, it is handy once in a while, but for the most part it is unused. Of course the ones on my car and truck are unused most of the time too.

 

[bigtiller]

Everytime I need to honk my truck horn, I get no honk.

They have been putting the horn button in the wrong place for years.

Put one on my riding mower.
Used it one day to let the wife know that she needed to move her chair from the yard where I was mowing.
Needless to say havent done that since.

Almost a necessary add-on.... like others have said.... to get attention of the others working. Added a loud one from O'reilly's auto parts. It was about $10 and another $6 for a momentary rocker switch. I was lucky... the tractor wiring harness had horn wires already in place. It was plug and play!

Oh, the grandkids love to blow the horn when they are getting a ride!

I added a Preco backup alarm 110db to the back of my tractor and connected it to a manual switch. It's really loud, cats move now and dogs howl.
I even added one to my Silverado so people would get out of the way when backing. I sometimes think there either dumb or deaf.

Put better backup alarm on my wheel loader. Been living here thirty years. People build new house next door and husband calls me. His wife is "jumping out of her skin" when I backup! I have had it disconnected ever since. I too am sensitve to other peoples (and dogs) noise.
