LED's (and according prices) have come a loonngg way
So Christmas morning my wife and I are opening our presents to each other and low and behold, she got me something I'd eyed on Amazon quite a bit but never purchased. I got myself a shiny new 12" LED light bar for my snow pusher. I was way more excited than I thought I'd be!
 A few days later, before an incoming snow storm, I installed it. I replaced 4 35 watt incandescent lights (2 standard in the Cub Cyclops hood, two I had added to the cab since 2 wasn't enough, not even close). When I tried this out, I was floored. I will make this simple: I replaced 4 incandescent lights at 35 watts each totaling 140 watts with one 72 watt 12" LED bar. The comparison is really, well, no comparison. Pics don't do it justice. I have a more consistent, bright light spread than I previously had. Fringe benefits of that include more power for my seat warmer, rear lights, and anything else I now can hook up since I have more electrical power available. I'll be honest, there was one downside. It throws off some EMI (electro-magnetic interference). I wear a pair of "ear muffs" that have an integrated radio with decent to good reception. When I turn the light on, I go down to maybe two or three very local stations. A small price to pay, to be sure. Anywho, this light cost (at time of posting) is $22.06. That's a hell of a deal if you ask me if you, like I do, do any kind of night work. I have included several pics. The first three are 1) an old photo of just stock lights, 2) a photo of stock lights with the 2 additional I had installed on the cab and 3) a photo with just the light bar on. I also have a couple other's for those that like photos (I know that's rare around here  ).Hope you guys enjoy  Link to the light on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Nilight-Light...ywords=nilight

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
