MX 5400 Canopy mounted fan

[bbrabston]

I want to mount a fan to my canopy. I have a 14" fan that pulls 7amps and I will be running through a 10 amp fan controller.
My questions are is this too much of a load on the alternator.
Is there are power source other than the battery preferably closer to fan.

In my opinion, don't mess with the tractor's power. There are lots of options.

I’ve ran one on all three tractors that I’ve had. As long as it’s wired and fused correctly.
Just give enough room between the fan and the roof so it can draw air in to be effective.

Thanks. I was just hoping not run wire all the way from the battery.

Thanks. I was just hoping not run wire all the way from the battery.

That’s why I added wired and fused correctly. All of mine have been added with auxiliary fuse blocks with proper wiring, relays, and switches.
