- Many equipment owners get to a point where they want to upgrade the lighting on their machines. Some manufacturers have an upgrade kit available, but doing it yourself can be a fun weekend project.

I'm a simple chap- I see someone with a Fluke meter, I upvote ;)
Great vid Neil! Man...You read my mind! I'm getting ready to upgrade my smallest TYM 254 tractor....needed lights bad on the ROPS last night!
I needed something on my new B2601 so I ordered the Artillian Work Lights part number 1RMLK Should have them tomorrow. They look super nice. :). Keep up the great videos.
Thank you Neil. The roof access tip on the LX2610 Cab was very timely and worth the price of admission.
Excellent DIY tip. Thank you so much !!! 👍 😎
Thanks, Neil. That was enlightening :)
Haha
+1 points
Great vid! Putting some Baja Designs lights on this weekend myself
Nice One Neil Thanks again
Thanks Neil I will have to check out my bx for those connections
Always good advice. I have lx 2610. I love it. That is when my wife will let me use it.
I've been thinking about this lighting project
Lots of very good information! Thinking about additional lights for my Kioti cab tractor. I am a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to installation, want everything neat and tidy!
Great video as usual. I added rear LED work lights to our L6060 grand cab using the top signal light brackets. There’s already the power harness for them there. Then i added a waterproof connector by The 3pt and added LED work lights to the boom and the stick of the BH92 backhoe. It never fails that I end up having to dig unexpected at night.
If you are adding lights to riding mowers please check the amperage output of the engine because you can prematurely wear out the engines stator if you try to run too many lights on it.
found them, Local dealer supplied me with a switch and some take off lights. Thanks.
Before adding any additional electrical loads I chose to install an alternator to replace the dynamo on my B7800. Pricey but worth it.
Same on my B2601. New US models come with an alternator, rest of world still a dynamo. The alternator kit wasn't expensive, nor overly hard to install.
I've had good success with both Tiger lights and Larsen lights.
Just wish there were more light options with a built in switch in the housing tractors used to have them
Never thought about just popping the roof off
Added front (spot/flood) and rear (flood) LED lights to the ROPS of my LX2610 and you are correct Neal, it was a fun project, although it took me a bit longer than one afternoon to finish! BTW, I've been told conflicting things about the LX 2610...some say alternator, some say dynamo....can you give the definitive answer?
Thanks for making this video showing the locations. Is there a chance the kubota m59 doesn't have this plug or harness because it already has some lights on the front and rear from factory? If anyone has found the 12v plug on an m59 I'd love to hear where you found it.
Saw that L series ROPS had what are presumably manufacturer drilled holes in the roll bar.
Now if only my employer's piggyback forklifts had better work-lights, that'd be nice!
1st thing I did with my new Massey 2850M cab was pull off the regular work lights and install LED ones. I bought some inexpensive ones from Amazon and had to build custom mounting brackets out of Aluminum flat bar to get them to mount the same way. Massey had bullet connectors already on the work lights, so adding the connectors to the new LED's was easy and very convenient to connect. My first time using Aluminum for a project and they came out well. Much brighter than the OEM lights that were on it, and a whole lot cheaper than the OEM LED's.
Grand l and mx cabs, just pop the top off. Way easier to get at the wires that are taped in, that biue tape Kubota uses doesn't rip or pull apart like our black tape does. Wish we could buy that tape.
To drop the headliner in the LE you have to remove the roof bolts, and all the HVAC stuff is above it. The cap weighs about 20 pounds tops, so easier to just pop the top, slide it back a bit to access the wiring, and you have to raise it to put the bolts in the front brackets anyway.
What would be great is if Messicks could stock the male plug kits for the lights, a crimp on kit with two male spades and the matching plug would sell a lot! I just put LED lights on mine and since I could not find the plugs, I replaced the ones on the tractor with Duestch connectors. A little larger and light gray in color but 100% waterproof.
Do you have lights for my New Holland 25S. I noticed I have a connection off from the right rear light. Thanks Neil, love your videos.
The artillian set is great.www.messicks.com/part/1rmlk/artillian-work-lights
My brand new BX2380 already had holes in the ROPS for lights.
Yup, no worries if they are engineered into it.
Great, now can someone do a video about installing LEDs to a vintage tractor please???
What kind of plug is on the fender of L2501, and do you sell them?
Neil, just bought a new BX Kabota from Messicks - can someone let me know where the plug you were referring to is located. Thank you.
Mike, on my BX2380, there were three bullet connectors teed off the wiring harness in the back. Ground, +12V, and 12V switched with the running lights. If you stand at the back of the tractor, look to the left of the top 3pt mounting pin.
This guy! ^^^
What would you recommend for addition lighting for a bx2380?
I was just thinking about how to upgrade my work lights on my B2650 with Cab. OEM is adequate for just working but are not bright enough for cutting grass at night. Anyone know bulb number to replace halogen bulb with LED for front and rear work lights on B2650 cab? Owners manual only says 35w bulb. I already swapped all my headlights hazard and marker lights with LED. If i can swap out whats there for cab work lights it would be easier than adding new lights. I know the LX2610 vesrion comes with LED light assembly that i could buy and swap out to upgrade but that would be the more expensive way to go i am guessing since that would be a kubota part number. I already have 4 really good LED lights i kept off my old tractor but i would like to use them for other stuff. I might add one or two on my backhoe boom.
To avoid needing to add lights, I just avoid working at night with my tractor LOL.
Well that’s just sad & lazy!
Is there a hot wire somewhere on the rear of MX6000 cab tractor?
In the roof.
A lot of forum posts about the B2650 and why such a new expensive little tractor still comes with a dynamo and not an alternator lol
Weird, even my BX2680 has an alternator.
I have a B2650 with Cab and it has an alternator because of Defroster on rear window and fans for heating and air conditioning. Think only ROPS has dyno
Maybe if tractors came with lights for seeing over front loader, rear and sides we wouldn’t have to go through so much trying to fix tractor so we can work at night
What tractor is at 4:43?
B2401
Mmmm Hmmmm
