Modern lighting
 

Well the Grote Rep stopped in our shop yesterday, he had something really cool so I ordered a set. Going to replace my glass head lights with these babies.

LED work lights about blinded us in the shop with them. they are made for full size ag tractors. I will be able to mow at night with no problem now

this is a stock photo from Grote web site with 6 of these lights

Wow, they are bright!

I've looked at those, but the price was outrageous. What did he quote them to you at? :bigthink:

$92 bucks for those lights. I ordered a different style also. see if I can find the link to them.

they offer those in a near and long range focal point

long range was 1500 meters so I ordered a set of short. going to use them on the other O I have to put together. they look neat from the side.

:bigeyes::bigeyes::bigeyes::Shocked:

Yeah..... too much for me!

well the way I weighed it out is everyone wants $100 to$200 bucks for sets of lights. I peace of metal with 2 holes, two light bulbs and a couple of wires. and you still can't see 20 feet. so what he heck.

I use 35 watt Grote lights...... I can see just fine. :bigthink:

Oh sure, I'd prefer the LED for the amp load..... but for that kind of money I can put a 90 amp alternator on it!! :biggrin2:

I thought I ran across some LED replacement lights that would replace the sealed beams. I've got a couple tractors and a combine that could stand an upgrade. I guess I'm becoming accustomed to modern vehicles with good lighting and am wanting the same quality lights on everything I have.

I've been looking at these (the surface mount lights) for a LONG time, but the price has always stopped me. I'm curious how they look on the tractor and the field of light you end up with after they're installed.

For a tractor that needs everything for lighting; wiring, mounts, switches, etc., this might not be a bad option money wise. Such as an NF with just a filler panel to start (like my 100).

Jeeze, how much work do you guys do after dark that you require so much light! :biggrin2:
