light bar for my tractor

admin

Ok first time and from my phone so here goes nothinok they are out of order. We normally feed our cattle at in the dark since its dark at 5 here in nd. We keep our cattle on our home quarter and I know this quarter like the back of my hand but I shi* u not I got lost hahaha. So this was the fix  The pic of the the bar on the roof of the tractor should have been first. I needed the final measurement for the back of it. The other 2 are obviously finished product. Wired the lights through the tube was fairly ez till the last couple lights went in. I just used welding wire.  Got the lights from amazon. Led. Pretty cheap. Also you don't need anything to juice them other then your battery. I built it last fall and have not had any problems with it. They do the job but don't throw out there like halogens.  When your around objects like trees or bale stack they light it up like the day. Overall I'm happy with them.  The bar fits great and is solid so the lights don't bounce around driving over the frozen turds. Pretty excited to c how they do cutting and baleing.p's i built the fuel tank too. pss i built it in the middle of moving out of my shop if your wondering about the mess Attached Images
Reply:Looks like you have plenty of light now.Does the whole frame move side to side on those telescoping tubes, or did you weld them in place when you had the distance set?

Reply:Gotta have a cool switch!Are the back of those lights a big heat sink? Can you give me some more info on them? I'm looking for some like that.GravelThe difference between theory and practice is that in theory there is no difference.

I hooked 4 lights to each of them. There is a small relay in the wire harness. But like i said it works perfect.  I have had no issues with power. Led uses very little.Last edited by d3aN; 06-11-2014 at 01:32 PM.
