LIght Kit Harness BX 25

[billhall]

I just bought a rear work light for my new Kubota BX 25, it is the Kubota brand, round light with built in shut off, it has a connector at the end of the wire harness, but I can not find were it plugs in on the tractor, has anyone bought this kit that could help? I am hoping I do not need to cut any wires.

I am not sure where if there is one on the BX25, but on the earlier models there is a wire connection under the seat. I wired my directly to the battery since I wanted a thicker wire for less overheating.

Yes,
at the back of the tractor just below the seat

Could they have changed this on the bx 25, I can't seem to find mine?

 

[TheFlatlander]

There might be a difference. I was referencing my BX2660 with is very similar

On my BX1860, the connections were wrapped in black electrical tape around one of the wire looms just under where the 3PH top link mounts to the tractor. Not sure where the leads are on the BX25, but look for black electrical tape wrapped around the plastic loom somewhere in the back. On some of the other tractors, I think the connection is under the rear fender by one of the rear "brake" lights. Good luck.

Look at the back of the tractor....you will see the flip up cover above the PTO shaft. On the left side of that cover against the housing you will see a wire loom going up....look carefully and you will see black tape around it. The connection is there. It is hard to find.

It is not under the seat.

billhall - have you found your wire connections ? here a pic of mine on BX24 . It comes out of wire loom harness in back on left side of the BH connection that is in a Y. The Y part is not obvious but it was covered in electrical tape and when removed the wires connections were there. I checked the power and there was power when key was turned on and off when turned off.

Yes, thanks guys I finally found it, sorry I have been working all day couldn't reply earlier, what a problem I had getting light to work, finally realized that the manufacturer painted the casing so well that the ground would not work, had to scape paint away in a few areas to make it work. Now looking forward to a night time storm. Thanks again!!!!

Thanks so much, radioman - I found mine too (on my BX25), which the dealer could not do. Now I, too can hook up my ROPS light that I bought from the local Kubota dealer. And thanks, billhall, for the heads-up about the grounding problem - it will save me a lot of time I'm sure!

The black wire should be ground for anyone having trouble using the frame for ground.

Anyone have a picture of the light?

Here's one, (Would not let me post picture with out at least 5 charactors).

Flatlander, wouldn't it be better with the light a little higher up on the ROPS?

 

[shownuff]

I used 3 square L- series work lights 2 facing front- 1 to the rear mounted on the bottom of the rops acros the top, much better than just the headlights.

Just personal preference. Didn't want it up by my head, but the kit comes with wiring long enough if you wanted to locate it there. I just want to see when backing up plowing and some help on the three point stuff. Actually works well for me there. The light makes alot of light and has a wide pattern, in addition it will swivel and point where ever you want.

I just installed my BXpanded light's on my BX 24 They were very easy to install
and work great. I would for sure recommend getting these work lights to anybody who may use their tractor at night.

Almost two years since your post and it is still helping people find this connector. I suspected there was something for aux lighting, but would never have found it without your photos. Thanks.
