New LED Lights

[durallymax]

Put a 6,000 lumen LED 13" light bar on our loader today. Factory lights were getting weak and some of the housings were broke. Volvo parts require a lot of vaseline ($7,200 for a coolant radiator for 140hp loader, $250 for light housing) so after drooling over the expensive Vision X stuff, I bought this light for $170. Its been pretty impressive. I am going to remount it though underneath the roof. It didn't fit under there, but I will use the holes I have it in to make a bracket. To exposed up top.

I think i'll just take the factory lights off and put some smaller Flood LED's over there to shine to the sides more.


I also put two Grote Trilliant LED Cubes 2500 lumens each on the rear, but do not have very good pictures of them yet.

Crappy pics of the rear Trilliant.

Looks good! I have a 20" on my truck.

Thinking about putting a 30" on top of my Excavator and a 10" out back, and 2 cubes on the arm and maybe one on the stick. Just worried about thieves. The stock lighting is good but I tinted my machine up to help my eyes out in summer.



I'm addicted to these things. :roflmao:

I'm thinking about putting some on our T770, T750 and S770 too

 

[durallymax]

Yeah they get addicting fast. I want to put some on our 262C2 at a minimum to shine out to the sides so we can see better at night picking up bales. I'd love to have them everywhere but know too many of our workers would knock them off.

Got some more toys the other day. Started watching some eBay auctions closely and scored a 42" and a 52" bar.

Wanted a big on to mount on the roof of our mower tractor as the front mower blocks the light and the lights suck anyways. I'll mount a couple of the cheap ones on the front mower to take out the shadow and use as driving lights. It is a 30,000 lumen bar.

I don't have it mounted yet but here are some pics just testing it out.

Tractors that need them. We don't cut in the dark often, but when we do we need some good light, especially in the lighter crops as we cut as fast as 15mph, need to see pretty far in advance especially in unfamiliar fields. I clipped off a well pipe during 2nd cutting at one field.

with case tractors you will need these so they can be found in the field by the service man :roflmao: JK bars look good!

ohhhhh daaaammmnnn

X100 those lights are sweet man, wished they had those when I was running equipment, more than one side rail got clipped by me on dump trucks loading material at night just a finger on the bucket though, that's all, nothing major

I get the joke, but honestly those are the two most reliable tractors we have ever owned. Those old Magnums just do not die. The one to the left in the picture has had nothing but a throttle cable and exhaust manifold since it was bought new in the late 90s and is now over 9k hrs of nothing but heavy tillage, pulling a chopper before we went to SPFH and now running a 30' mower which I am sure the engineers never dreamed of then. Not the most luxurious tractors, but they are simple and do work.

Yes I am just kidding and biased! Few of my friends run them and have great luck!

Lots of farms around me, see those old case tractors everywhere, must be doin something right:thumb:

 

[durallymax]

For what the new Fendt were buying cost we could buy 4 of those old Magnums, however we need the features of the Fendt and they are the most reliable newer tractor.

Which Fendt are you getting? I would not consider them the most reliable but hey everyone has opinions. Saw 3 burn in fields this summer

So how comparable are these to say, Rigid Industries setups? I really want a few of these lights but Rigid's pricing is unbearable for my addiction to LED's. And I'm a little leery of buying lighting stuff off ebay ever since my ebay HID kits lit my bumper on fire

 

[AubleAK]

I have many of these led bars from eBay. Pay ~40% of the price and get 80~ of the product. Amazon.com has a lot of LEDs also.

Like said above, it gets addicting. Nearly everything i own has an led light on it now.

Compared to our other new tractors they are, everything burns but I've seen plenty of Fendt fires too. Fire is the least of my worries, at least its just done and over, its all the little headaches that you have to fight with other brands that Fendt just seems to be better at. Were getting a new 930. Its a step down from our DT275B but its whats available, we should be fine with a little less power. If we ordered a 933 right now it would be June or July before it would be here due to retooling for Final Tier 4 and would be at least 15% more due to Tier 4 Final emissions changes.

HID's suck some serious juice. I'm not going to say these are as good as high wuality ones but for what you pay,they're a good deal.

If Rigid makes you cringe start pricing VisionX.

DDM Tuning sells LED light bars. I have no experience with the light bars, I do use their H.I.D kits for all my cars and have had good luck with them, and when I have had bad luck their customer service dept has been top notch.

Their prices are typically awesome and not usually beat, for similar quality anyways. They have all sorts of sizes from 6-60" and types, like spot, driving and flood type lighting configurations...

Just thought I'd throw that out there for y'all, as another option to check out at the very least :thumb:
