Yeah that's another option, just what ever is easiest really.

Aye, took the standard spots off and fitted a pair of led floods from utv products each side, did the same at the rear. There's attachment points for them there anyway. Far more light and they draw less current.

Are they standard on new 'mother regulation' tractors? The ones I've seen so far of two different brands have dipping headlights on the cab's 'belt line', outboard of any loader boom, if fitted, to augment the ones in the bonnet front.

OK, there's nothing wrong with the lights on it , I think there a lot better than most. Just the loader causes a shadow.
Do you know if there is a spare plug in the stalks for work lights ? Rather than do away with what's there.

I mean lights fitted to the boom so they follow the carriage. LED of course so not too much current flowing through the loader electrics.

I assume you’ve ploughed that field then? Not everyone has level deep soiled fields that are easy to plough. To me looks like there’s probably rock just below the surface there causing the plough to lift.
Suggest the “plough police” try ploughing 2 inches of soil over rock before commenting on others work.

Why has it only got 2 inches of soil?
I suggest the "no-till police" need to be investigating, "guilty on all counts of soil abuse my Lord"

I guess you don’t know what a steep field is either then lol.
People moving away from min till down here now. Doesn’t appear to work well.

Cant argue with that.
Yes. To be fair it would never even enter my head to take off one weight just to replace in with another but i'm not into making work for myself.
Take the bucket or whatever off the front unless of course its very stony then the bucket may come in handy.
Each to their own though.

I love it, my land is heavier than yours.
We have a bank that you have to drive down hill only, does that count? We ploughed it once just a mass of big boulders, now it has been no-till (not min-till) for over 10 years we don't know the stones are there as the worms bury them, so as long as the soil stays in place it will only get better.
I guess you don't know what a field is like where the soil gets better?

Damn Will must be stalking me in rl as I haven’t a clue what his ground is like. I’ve ground so wet we’ve not been near it since last June and stoney steep ground that burns off in a few hot days. Tell me how do you grow maize with a no-till or min till system?

My soil is too precious to grow maize on!
I don't know if there's wiring inside the stalks for additional worklights.
I reckoned with 8 spots all drawing 65watts and the pair of headlights on the front as standard, there wouldn't be a lot of spare capacity!
That's why I took off the front abs rear beltline spots and fitted a pair of led at each sight. Bigger spread of brighter light that draws less current.
There can't be many other tractors that have 14 work lamps as standard spec? Blackpool illuminations

Maybe not but my 2004 tractor has four front plus four rear roof lights, two front and two rear belt line lights, plus two step-mounted lights shining directly outwards. So exactly 14 work lights, factory fitted, plus the headlights for longer distance light at the front. There is a spare button on the light's control panel for more, but I can't recall from here where these would be, although it is allocated to a specific group on the schematic.I don't know if there's wiring inside the stalks for additional worklights.

LED lamps might be the only worthwhile improvement for my setup.

Pleased so far, GPS receiver cut out yesterday, dealer was straight out mid afternoon and there till about 7.30, turned out it had lost its permanent live but not the switched live, they jury rigged a fix to keep it going and will sort it out properly once its got a couple of days.
Been on the 3 metre Claydon doing covercrops and it toys with it.

Anyone know why the right hand door on deutz has gone to emergency use only?

Is it something to do with the width/ angle/ design of the steps due to the ad blue or exhaust design?
