Paul you realize that with night lighting there's no excuse for a snow plugged driveway in the winter. But let there be light! Good job, excellent guide of the process. 👍🚜🍻☀️☀️☀️
I did the exact same job on my B3030 last year and I really like lighting up the whole driveway at night now. And, I really like how you fished the wired to your dash. Clever. Great idea. Thanks again.
Thanks John, I am happy with the dash mounting for the switch. It's really nice with the LED's as you mentioned they light up the whole driveway. The B3030 is a nice size tractor. Is yours 30hp without the DPF regen? Thanks for watching and have a great day!
Nice, clean installation, Paul. I recently installed the same lights on my tractor. You had different mounts than I had. Perhaps I did not order them. I don't remember. You certainly had more room under the tractor to work than I did!! 🙂 The LED's make a big difference!!
Thank you kindly Rick! I had watched your LED beacon lights from Santa video and those are very bright lights. They really do make a difference. My tractor does have a lot of clearance underneath and it was one of the main requirements for when I bought it. Take Care!
Good Morning Sir, With these Work lights, it will be like in plain day light at night. I realy like your Hockey Puck Stack for your ROPS. You did an OUTSTANDING very detail electrical informative video Sir 👌🧐Yes, finesse installation for sure 👌👍😇 Outstanding wiring installation and light too 👌🧐 Full Watch Sir and have a Very Nice Week Cheers 👌😇👍🍻
Good morning to you Sir and thank you for your kind words and continued support. I have to give the credit to my wife for the hockey puck idea. Thanks for watching the entire video, I know it was long but I didn't want to break it up. Keep up the good maintenance videos on your channel, I always watch the entire video because I don't want to miss any great tips you have. Have an awesome week!
Below is the Amazon link to the lights I used. Thanks for watching! www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B06XP2J1G1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Nice video description, thanks! I'm curious why you need a relay in this setup. Since you are tapping into the tractor's existing rear circuit for power, couldn't you just run the tractor power through the switch and back to the lights? I'm not sure what the relay is doing for you. I think it is only necessary if you had connected directly to the battery like the instructions originally specified. What am I missing? Thanks again.
Hi there and thanks. Whether I use a direct connect to the battery or to the tractor’s existing rear auxiliary outlet I still want to use the relay to keep the switch and the lights (the load) on separate circuits. The lights on the high current draw/load circuit and the switch on the low current circuit draw/load. If I don't use the relay then the high current load will pass through the switch to power the lights. For this example, the rear auxiliary outlet is rated for 15 amps maximum. The lights draw approximately 12 amps and the switch is rated for 5 amps. Thus with the relay my switch draws a very small amount of current/amperage through it's circuit to turn on or off the light circuit that draws a high current/amperage well above the switches rating. Therefore I wouldn't want to melt my switch by having it directly connected to the high current draw lights circuit load. Hope this helps and apologies for getting back to you so late.
@@JelenOutDoors Yes, thank you. I was thinking that since the rear aux. outlet is controlled by the tractor light switch that there must be a relay already in that circuit. But maybe not. I will verify that when I install my future lights.
@@beerbellybob2989 Just in good practice a relay and an inline fuse is always a good idea for protecting devices. I always treat what's there already, in this case the pre-installed work lights power source as a separate circuit. Anything I add to it becomes it's own separate circuit with it's own fuse, relay, wires, switch and load device. I have video coming out that I talk a little more about the wiring. Not sure if it's being released on the 23rd or 30th of this month. Have a good evening!
@@beerbellybob2989 In my case the power to the rear auxiliary outlet is powered when the tractor's ignition is turned on. I can use the aftermarket LED'S independently from the factory tractor lights because I installed an aftermarket switch. Or if I want I can turn both set of lights on by flipping both the aftermarket and the factory tractor switches on. If my factory light switch (I would expect it has a relay) was powering the factory lights and the auxiliary outlet at the same time then I would use an inline fuse, the LED'S and no relay since I would be using the factory installed light switch to turn on the LED'S when l turn on the factory installed lights. I just need to make sure that with the factory lights and the aftermarket LED'S the power draw are within the rated amperage that the factory fuse and wires are rated for. Good luck on your future installation.
@@JelenOutDoors OK, that's what I was getting at in my first response. In your case, you are treating the factory installed rear aux circuit as if it is a direct battery connection. That way you don't need to care if it already has a relay since you are adding your own fuse, relay & lights as a new circuit so to speak? I understand needing to mind the amperage rating. On my JD 4120, the rear aux circuit is rated for 20 amps.
Thanks, here is the link for the lights, www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B06XP2J1G1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Anything else I had used I bought in-store from Princess Auto in Canada. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
You keep calling the canopy tubing ROPS- That is NOT correct- ROPS- as you are aware is roll over protection system which the canopy and tubing is not. Just wanted to clarify for new tractor owners or those not familiar with such.

You bet I realize that Mark, lol. I figured I better get them put on before it starts to get cold and dark before 5pm. Thanks for stopping by!
Great video, very thorough . Your wiring job was very good and it is a nice looking installation.
Enjoy your tractor!
Thanks Ray, I appreciate the kind words. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend!

I have the same canopy and light bar. Glad I saw this so I don't put it on the metal bar blocking the light. I'll put it on the edge of the canopy.
Thanks for watching and good luck with your installation.
Well done and useful. Thank you.
Thanks I appreciate it!
what light set did you use?

I was just curious what you use the blue barrel for! I have several, one for used oil, one for dog food and I have one for diesel fuel!
I use the blue barrel for transporting water to my gardens and another one for storing pea stone. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend!
