I believe it will be switched with the ignition switch. Volt meter or test light will tell you which one is which

What he said. I used that connection to add work lights to the ROPS. I ran that wire into a plastic box and added the switches right there on the ROPS so I didn't have to run anything to the front console.

Your guess is correct. I checked mine before I installed my lights.
I don't know if your model is different from the CAB model. In the CAB model the plug for the switch is tucked under the dash, left side where the front light switch is, there are knock outs. You basically have to loosen the dash and you will find it taped to the wiring harness.

Hello 2650Fan,
I was looking to add rear work lights too. We have to keep in mind not to install anything with more than a 10 AMP draw. That is what the circuit is rated for. A higher draw might burn out wiring before the fuse blows. In looking at different brands of lights, I noticed that suppliers are not always accurate when they state the unit's draw. We have a 120 Watt max total on the lights we choose. I am just not sure how much light we are going to get out of that.

With the simple LED lights available on Amazon, you can get pretty far. I bought ones that looked appealing and then measured their wattage on my bench and found it to be FAR BELOW what they had stated. I've got a large lightbar facing forward and 2 spotlights facing backwards and I'm pretty sure I'm barely over 5 amps. Just my experience, not any kind of guarantee to anyone else, YMMV. But it gives me ALL of the lighting I need.

What....share something about my tractor?? Oh, you'll never get someone to take you up on that offer in THIS forum!
Here are the links to the lights in Amazon:
Here's also a link to replacing the light bulbs in the front of the hood (better lighting and less wattage):
And here's some pics of it mounted on the ROPS.
I was gonna take a pic of them on last night as I was working anyway...but I've discovered that pics really never do it justice because the camera automatically changes the exposure to make everything brighter. But really, it's great lighting.
Hope that helps.

I did the same lights and mounted them with magnets.What....share something about my tractor?? Oh, you'll never get someone to take you up on that offer in THIS forum!

The installation and connection of the marker are directly dependent on the width of the unit's grip and the driving method. I don't think you can figure it out on your own. Therefore, I strongly recommend contacting qualified specialists first. Btw, I repair agricultural machinery in my garage on my own. I started using 5 Modes Vont LED Tactical Flashlight for additional lighting last month. I don't want to brag, but I am doing it well. However, I broke several cars before I got the hang of it.

Here's what I used...they work great and haven't budged in 2 years. I did have to cut the stud down a bit in order for them to work correctly with my light brackets...no big deal.
These magnets are very strong and take significant effort to remove. But, you can reposition them wherever you wish.
