You can, you just 1 though. The little dyno only puts out 15 amps which will run 1 work light with leftover for the charging system.

If you take 30 amps out and the dynamo is only capable of putting 15 amps, then the balance is going to be coming from the battery. As long as the tractor is running, and the battery has sufficient charge, there is no problem. Once the tractor stops running, then the battery might not have enough reserve capacity to start the tractor again. A prime example of this is police cars, ambulances, and fire trucks. The lights, siren, radio all pull more amps than the alternator can replace. That is why they keep them running once they get on scene. That is also the reason that many of them have dual batteries. They run on one and leave the other for starting when the first one won't do the task.
