Remote control is fine and dandy......until you lose the remote! OR the batteries decide to die the ONE tie you realllllly need to use it!:D

I am like Skeets, old school - but willing to change!:eek::)

Here is another route:

I'm just going to put the fob on to the key ring with my tractor keys anyway. :D

I'm not to keen on drilling holes into the tractor I guess...:cool:

Finding a square shaped U-bolt is a PITA. Either they are too long or the are too wide for what I want. Might have to bend some brackets for what I want.

Look at the bolt-on stake pockets. They fit perfectly around my rops.
I ordered the bolt on stake pockets and they're perfect for the ROPS on the BX2350. I am going to make the flat brackets to bolt up to the stake pockets. I decided to go with two 12inch LED light bars instead of four 18watt cube style lights. I figured it would be easier to wire up.

I painted the stake pockets ROPS grey and will do the same with the mount brackets.

I'm still going to use the wireless remote wiring harness. Found a nice one that should work well. Waiting for the lights and harness to arrive.

Got the wiring harness mocked up and my LED light bars mounted to the ROPS. I think they look pretty good so far.

I stopped by the local Case IH dealer and had no problem getting 3" x 3" x 1/2" square u-bolts. Fit perfectly on the rops to attach my homemade light brackets.

Where are you getting your power from?? I want to hook up a shute motor for
my blower but can't find a power source other than the 12v plug.

If your working with a blower chute, you need to go to the battery to get power, none of the stock wiring will handle the load of that motor. ;)
