I finally finished up my lights today. Took a little more time than I thought it would.

I started with a piece of 1 1/4" square stock cut to fit in between the rops. Mounted 3 37 watt lights facing foward and 2 facing towards the rear. I drilled holes in the top of the bar, to allow me access to tighted the light mounts. These holes will be covered by the bottom of the rops when mounted. 1/4" holes were drilled to allow wiring of the lights. These holes allow me to push in the rubber coated wires that came on the lights. All wiring was soldered with heat srink. Mounted to rops with u bolts.

Two waterproof switches mounted to dash that are push button and light up when on. A separate fuse block provide power and relays power lights. Tried to stay as close to factory wire runs as possible.

Boy are they bright. Usually don't run tractor at night, but had the lights laying around, so why not. All in all I'm happy with it.

Nice job.
Do they get in your way when you turn around or is your ROPS tall enough?

I used those same lights...they filled up like aquariums on the first rain...do two things...zip tie around the cable to get water to drip off about an inch before it enters the light...and two... silicone the entrance into the light.

I've done a couple different mounts and lights.
These look funny, but damn I like them! Easy take-off in spring, and don't get busted.


Just 4-6" angle brackets w/ 27 watt LED's. Unbolt and unplug in spring. Not sure, but think I had some or all of the brackets already.



The ROPS on BX 2360 are short and I'm tall. Needed something above that was removable for mowing.

Summer ops....

Great job! I think I'll add a coupla' ROPS lights to my L2501HST. I like your electrical installation. Nice of Kubota to have easy access to the fuse panel.
