Any suggestions on how to improve the front lights on Kubota B2301? Stock ones are a joke, IMO!

I think you will find your best bet is to install some LEDs on your ROPS, esp if your are doing any work with the loader. I put LED bulbs in my headlights which helped, but nothing like the lights I put on my ROPS. It makes a world of difference.

I have two lights mounted on my bar and one I left just loose enough that I can turn it backwards when I want to. There are alot of options on size and lumens out there. It was pretty easy to wire a switch to the dash.

Very much agree with the ROPS lighting. H/L on mine put out some impressive lumens for stock lights. Whatever gets past the grille guard goes into the back of the bucket unless I run the loader dangerously high for travel. A wee little bit makes it past the loader. Take the loader off and the stock H/L aren’t bad on mine. Taking the loader off every time to drive at night is unhandy. ROPS lights solve that issue.
