Never really use the tractor at night/early AM much. But when I need the yard cleared bright and early because a truck is coming in, I need to see where I'm goin'.

Needed to fab up a bracket:

Mounted and wired. No exposed wires to catch or break. Two front and two back. Each light is about 4000 lumens...............

Very nice. I've never regretted getting a cab model.

Now just wantin' for snow....................And actually these lights won't get used a whole lot. I work from home and I'm hardly ever in a hurry to clear the yard. Its just on the days I have material deliveries or shipments going out via truck that I need to blow snow before sun up.

As far a cab, it sure would be nice for winter. But with the woods and trails I take the tractor on, the branches and limbs would rake havoc on the winders, mirrors, and lights...................

I like having lights where I don't have to turn around and look into them, for forward facing lighting, I used similar lights but mounted them just in front of the operators platform, there were two holes on each side that were just the right size to mount the lights to and run the wire through for a clean install.
