Rear light bar for backhoe work

[Brick Axelrod]

Running a L4701 with BH92 backhoe. Any recommendations for a rear bright work light would be appreciated.

The OPT7 brand of lightbars have worked well for me on ATVs built for mudding. I have a 20-inch on the front brushguard of my 4-wheeler. Rough conditions of mud, water, brush, etc. and it hasn't missed a beat. If you need a harness, it comes with a switch and a relay so it gets full power. Versatile to mount. Instead of drilling into the ROPS, I would mount a couple of U-clamps on the bar and mount the light to the U-clamps. This is what I'm going to do on whatever tractor I purchase. Amazon is showing only the 12-inch and 44-inch models but there are many widths available. You want the spot+flood model I have linked.

Super bright and Im very happy with them for backhoe, snowblowing and 3PH stuff. Great in the barn when attaching equipment too.

I recommend getting the highest lumens lights you can get, designed and rated for long distance projection. The typical ***8220;flood***8221; light styles dont go out far enough
