LIGHTS!

[Sand_man]

Now I can see! My tractor of course came with head lights but you need more for driving around at night don't ya. My Bobcat had two leads off the back I found was a 20 Amp fused circut for extra lights. I powers 3 lights well. I don't quite know what amp lights they are (11$ rubber mount lights at NAPA.) I installed a switch because power was always on when ingnition was on. One light in back two for each side.

Should work real well during snow removal.

Very nice work. That rear facing light will come in pretty handy too.

Nice. How close are you to the top of your garage? Looks pretty darn close.

Nice- check that your current draw does not exceed the switch rating, if so put a relay in and happy snowblowing!!

good lord, you've drilled the rops on your tractor! the space-time continuum may unravel just kidding, but i had to get that in - i can't believe none of the rops safety nazis didn't get to it already.

looks good. i've been meaning to do a similar thing to mine, but i haven't got around to it (as is the case with most of my planned projects). i use a backhoe on mine and would like the evening hour lighting conditions to extend later to finish up jobs. it also seems that when traveling/working forward the bucket always obscures the lights, so a set of high-mounts in both directions would serve well. maybe i can think up a swivel mount system so i don't need four of them.

I have a few inches above my roll bar. I bought the tractor first and built the shed around it.
