Adding switches or switch panel to B2601

[Clevus]

So, I am in need of inspiration for adding some two lights (and maybe more).
I can see the need for two (or more) switches,
I would like to see what others have done. I want it to be functional and look right.
I have my own thoughts, and I don’t any of them.

I added a switch to the panel of my B2601 for a sprayer or fertiliser spreader (basically a power lead to the rear of the tractor, to which I plug electric things). Just a simple rocker switch in the dash.

Hi @Clevus

Here's what I did to add lighting to my RTV1140CPX.
Hopefully it will inspire you!

1. The switches are from Nilite (see amazon)
2. The LED lights (also Nilite) I added were front and rear (thus two switches)

First I made a cardboard template from the area on my RTV.
Then I scribed that pattern onto a piece of metal.
I then cut out the holes for the switches and voltmeter.
I mounted the panel with 3M double sided tape.
Wiring is using relays so that the light load is not thru the switches.

I like the dash idea, however I went a different way on my B2601 . I put the switches in the fenders, as it was simpler and easier than tearing into the dash. The left side is for the ROPs lighting and the right side is for the sprayer and its foam marker.

My 'cheat' was to install a '4 channel RF relay' box, key fob is used to open/close garage door, forward LED lights, rear LED lights.

Cool- was that using the rx480 ?

this.... https://www.amazon.ca/QIACHIP-Wirel...ix=4+channel+rf+wireless+relay,aps,101&sr=8-8

kind of 'module', slides real nice into the left ROPS lower bracket,close to 'blue taped' power.

I bet everyone sell them or their 'clones'..... mine were $15 each, years ago.

Yep! That's what I thought you used.
Nice!
