work lights for bx24

riverhunter · Feb 22, 2006

First this a great website for information and problems. My question when I bought my bx24, I asked the dealer about some work lights for rear of tractor and a bigger alternater. He said kubota did not show one for bx24 but it did for bx23. Will I be alright with this? I thought the kubota lights might be more durable.

RiverHunter,

Welcome to TBN.

I have the Kubota light and use another magnetic worklight. The Kubota light is not so powerful, has a spot pattern but is a very cool shade of orange. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I find the magnetic light more useful and BRIGHTER.

There are hundreds of posts on ROPS lights here. Use the search function. Here is the latest thread along those lines.

 ==== = 
*That's because the BX24 comes standard with the alternater that is an upgrade option on the BX23.

I'd rather see them get knocked off than be destroyed ripping them off.

Several guys on here have used magnets - haven't heard any complaints about them just falling off.

You can quickly/easly remove magnetically attached lights when working in tight close areas. Try that with bolt ons or weld ons.
If they ain't on they can't come off.
