Installing LED Ditch Lights By- Roadshock onto my Kubota bx 

Seth Dunn awesome! Glad to hear man, so far the LED’s have worked flawlessly.. not a single issue with them, in a year I will do an update video to them to do a follow up on how they have performed and what not. Def let me know how you make out and how you like them! Hope you had a merry X-mas

Awesome man I’m glad to hear that! These road shock lights are awesome, I think I paid $19 each for mine at the time.. I made this video like 2.5 years ago and they are still on my tractor and still working perfect.. Iv pressure washed right at the lens before too and Iv never gotten water inside of them.. the lens is still just as shiny and clear as they were when they were new.. VERY good quality lights 👍🏻

That’s great man, I havnt had any issues what did ever with these lights.. the lenses are still nice and clear and not yellowed or discolored and they work/function perfectly till this day and have been on the tractor since the day I installed them.. I often pressure wash right over them too and have never gotten water inside them.. think they would be perfect for your truck ans are super bright 👍🏻

sgbofav awesome man! Thank you for the compliment and I’m glad I could inspire you, that’s how I got started myself was from watching others. Good luck and let me know how it turns out! Thanks for subscribing!

Haha thanks Todd, yah they have come a long way from a cell phone in hand and rambling. I try to keep talking to a minimum these days cuz who wants to hear someone yammer on and on. I try to only talk when I feel I need to give useful information to people or beginners. Did the video help you out?

@@BiffsEquipment you do awesome at the video's, I think you could teach corses or get paid from these companies to learn us 🤪how to install their products.

Skippy Thx Skippy! Hope your having a good start to your winter!

MaineOutdoors thanks man! Yah orange tractor cabs.. you can’t beat the price for a quality hard top cab.. The cab your thinking of I believe is Kurtis.. they make nicer quality hard cabs but they do cost between 4-5k which I won’t spend that kind of money for just winter comfort because I know I’ll be ripping it off come spring lol. From what I have heard tho people Really like kurtis cabs

I don't think the Kurtis cabs can be removed, which I want that option. Does look like a good quality cab though. The one I am talking about is made by ATV Cabs. Here is a link to a video of how it is installed. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nhSQsTezSRQ.html. Looks easy which I like too. I didn't really want to spend that type of cash either, but plan to have the tractor for awhile so might talk myself into it lol.

@@maineoutdoors8227 I have a bx 2670 with a Curtis cab, love it in the winter and loved it today in the rain!

Dave Smathers thanks David!

Haha thanks buddy! This video was made back when I first started my RU-vid channel, unfortunately the white dog you saw in this video has passed away, he ended up having random seizures one day that gradually got worse a few years later and I had to put him down.. it really sucked he was my best friend. I do have a new dog now who shows up a lot in my newer videos, he’s a black pitbull, my old pit was the white one. Thanks for watching!

Very cool! They have been fantastic LED lights for the money, they are still just as bright and in jist as good condition years later and have never gotten any water/moisture in them.. and I have stuck my pressure washer right on them multiple times to clean them since I’ve installed them and have even smashed them against trees and stumps lol.

Are you talking about a factory auxiliary plug for Kubota add-on lights? I do believe there is a plug somewhere back under the rear fender near the rops that you can tie into, I can check sometime and let you know

Tom Thumb you would use them just like any other light.. the attachment would partially block then when down but the purpose is so when you raise the loader and it blocks your main headlights then you would still have lighting down below from the ditch lights so that you do not loose all your lighting. Also they can be turned outward off to the side and would work as “ditch lights”...as the name suggests you would have light out to both the left and right sides of your tractor for better lighting for plowing in the winter and other similar tasks. Lastly when the loader is off the tractor it is excellent for late night or at dusk tasks such as using a grader box late into the evening or even mowing your lawn

You can do this, you will need to buy a second harness kit though to make it all plug and play though from what I remember.. And just be sure that when you do add more lights to the same switch and relay if you go that rout that you increase the size of the inline fuse that your using according to the manual that comes with the kit. These lights are now over a year old and still function perfectly.. I pressure wash right over them and never got water in them either. I am VERY pleased with these lights they have not given me an ounce of trouble. Hope this helps!

Hey Tom, I believe it was a 1/2” hole but I can’t remember this was quite awhile ago, if I find the drill bit in my toolbox drawer tonight I’ll let you know. thanks for watching!

Haha thanks man, that’s quite the compliment. Paul short is a good man and has come up with a lot of amazing mods for the BX. I mention Paul short in my fuel filter mod video as well and what nice brackets and fuel bowl protectors he makes. As for the lights this was one of the first tractor mod videos I ever uploaded to RU-vid and the lights are still on my tractor and still work amazing. I have pressure washed them with 2500psi of water many many times to clean them and have knocked them Off of wood. Stumps, and even rocks , the most damage I ever did to one was bend the bracket which I easily bent back.. I have never had one get water in it or quit working. I plan to add 2 more of these pod lights soon but my next ones will be going up on the ROPS as I plan to make a new updated video soon for connecting them all to the same switch that I installed during this video. Having the lights down low is awesome.. it’s really nice for plowing also and moving material at night with your bucket.. no more blocking your main headlights and not seeing where your going.. I think these lights would couple super well with some ROPS lighting too which is why I finally Plan to add more lights in the near future. Best of luck!

You can stick the relay anywhere you choose to.. wherever fits it the best .. I chose to put mine under the dash, just be sure to keep it in a location to where it’s somewhat easy to acsess incase you ever have to replace the relay you can get to it.. other than that it don’t matter where it goes or how you mount it.. you can even zip tie it to the existing wiring harness if you’d like. Best of luck!

Thanks man, glad you liked it. Was a really easy install as you can see specially where I was able to mount them. You should be able to mount yours in the same location as well. Here is the link to where I bought the lights. LINK: www.harborfreight.com/3-in-led-flood-light-64322.html I am uploading another video soon showing how to install LED lights on your cab and I actually talk about these lights and how they have been holding up in this new video im currently making. Thanks for watching!

@@BiffsEquipment Thanks for the reply and I have the lights already and ready to mount them. I believe you mentioned you replaced your Headlights and all others with LED bulbs. Do you have that Link because when I search out those bulbs I get numerous options to choose from. Thanks again

Nice man I bet they are super bright! Road shock brand have all had really great reviews and Mine have held up Phenomenally. Thanks for watching!

You would have to cut and slice with out the proper adaptors and join them together yourself

I would have but then I would have had to drill holes in my tractor frame which I didn’t like the idea of drilling holes in a very expensive tractor just for some very inexpensive lights but that being said the flood lights or “ditch lights” as I like to call them do a great job of providing light when the bucket is blocking the factory head lights. They also help me to attach my implements at night or during the winter they allow me to see off to the sides of my plow and pushbox so they have certainly done their job and it was a very easy install. It’s been 3 or so years since I made this video and the lights still work perfect. I have never had a single issue with them since the install

@@BiffsEquipment Yup, I got that after I had made my comment. And the idea of mounting lights on the canopy was perfect so no need to do what I suggested. Thnx for the reply.

Dan Pinkner your right.. I’ll have a winch video coming up soon showing you guys how it goes on and how well it works.. it’s very slick and easy, would be easy for you guys to set one up like I did if you were interested in having a winch too

@@BiffsEquipment yeah but I was thinking a three-point hitch winch that would help me more with possibly skidding logs offside Hills and stuff. Plus if I ever got stuck I would be able to pull myself out backwards generally speaking the other way of how I got stuck

Dan Pinkner it’s funny you mention that I have the perfect solution for you and will mention it in my next video

I Belive I used the 7 amp fuse. If you look in the instructions I think it even tells you. Start with the 7 amp tho and you should be set

@@BiffsEquipment Thanks!
