Those lights would work great with a flasher attached to them I have flashing lights on my BX and it's great when pushing snow in or near traffic.keep on tractoring !!!

@smeefamily54 Год назад

Jon: it is great to have the kids in the shop. Mine used to help me make pens. The new lights are going to be super bright. The neighbours will have to wear sun glasses when you turn the lights on. Great instructional video. We need more videos on Utube to show how things are done. Take care and stay safe.

@ritterjon Год назад

Glad you enjoyed it. I wish I would have had a camera for up close shots but I made do with what I got. Little Brynlee is a nut! 🤪 and sure fun to have around. Keep on tractoring!

@pjmazar4533 11 месяцев назад

Nice job, lights look good, and the bubbles are a great addition. I opted for a quicker upgrade by using LED replacement bulbs and flasher designated for LEDs. Did that to my 61 Impala years ago.

@MyClutteredGarage Год назад

Nice work Jon. They look great!

@ritterjon Год назад

Thanks Ed! Keep on tractoring!

@RichardGilbert2727 Год назад

Very helpful, Jon! Sure wish Kubota would improve its lights and offer many more options!

@ritterjon Год назад

Me too! I think they like charging for replacements however. Lights are always an afterthought on tractors. Keep on tractoring!

@twinbrookacres Год назад

Great setup with the lights. I like that idea! The lights are well protected inside the square stock tube. Your daughter has the same personality and sense of humor as my grandson. Thanks for sharing. - Rick

Thanks! Yes, kids are sure fun! Enjoy that grandson of yours. Keep on tractoring!

Thank you Barry! I think these lights will catch on in the tractor community. Keep on tractoring!

John, I like your lights. When I bought my BX the hazard lights were already gone. I will be picking up some parts to make a pair like yours - thanks for sharing with the small tractor community - enjoy the journey - cheers

💥 Thanks Mark! That Brynlee, she sure can be a nut. I didn’t think this video would do all that well but it surprised me. The comedy must have been a big hit. Keep on tractoring!

@BiffsEquipment Год назад

Nice job with the lights, you’ll have to keep us updated with how they work out. Sorry to hear about your aunt Jon

@HuserHelpers Год назад

Nice upgrade project. I agree on the factory flashers. I haven't busted one yet, but came close a few times and I typically don't run in the woods much. Take care Jon and hope all is well, J

@ritterjon Год назад

Thanks Jason, glad you like this idea. Pretty simple and well protected. Hope your girls are having fun this summer. Keep on tractoring!

@jakeschisler7525 Год назад

Looks like the left side is brighter, maybe just on the video. Great idea, Jon

@ritterjon Год назад

Maybe the video made it appear that way. They are the same brightness. Keep on tractoring!

@SteveMac. Год назад

Juice is the name. Maybe it won’t run out… 🍊 😂

@MJADoingStuff Год назад

Looks awesome Jon 😁👍 you will be really bright this winter. I might be able to see you from my house Ha!!!😂 thanks for the video.🚜💨💨🍳

I strive to be the brightest guy on the block. I hope this helps. Keep on tractoring!

@RossOnTheLand Год назад

Very nice Jon! When are you going to finish painting the ceiling of your garage though! Haha. Thanks for showing a great upgrade to the lights.

Quit giving me a hard time about my garage ceiling. 😂😂 I’ll get around to it. Keep on tractoring!

He inspired me to do a job right and make it look OEM. 😁👍 Great fabricator! Keep on tractoring!

@watershedoverlook Год назад

Great project Jon and a great helper. Also, in keeping with the girl's names, I go with "Brian" the BX!

@ritterjon Год назад

Well, you're the second person to mention that. Not too sure how I feel about naming a machine. I'll give it some thought, maybe it'll grow on me. Keep on tractoring!

@maryritter4248 Год назад

Nice lights!!

@ritterjon Год назад

Thanks Mom! You're my favorite subscriber! ❤️ Keep on tractoring!

@allenbickell300 Год назад

Thanks for the idea on the lights. On my Massey Ferguson 1723 the lights are on the side of the ROPS and One of them broke off from getting to close to a tree. I’m going to try this on my tractor.

@ritterjon Год назад

It just doesn’t make sense to me why manufacturers mount those lights on the side of the ROPS. It’s just a. Matter of time before they break off. Keep on tractoring!

@travisfields2837 Год назад

Gotta name it “Orange,” and hope it doesn’t run out of juice.

@ritterjon Год назад

There we go 😂 glad it’s fuel efficient since juice is expensive. Keep on tractoring!

@larryrogosin7417 Год назад

Good job. The one thing I would different is use automotive grade double sided tape to hold the LED inside the the steel tube.

@ritterjon Год назад

That’s a good idea. I don’t think the idea is perfected yet but the lights are definitely better than they were. Keep on tractoring!

@DIYMyWay Год назад

Hi Jon! Very clever LED upgrade! Of course you know Brinley stole the show. As for a name for your tractor, how about Reginald. Yes, it definitely looks like a Reginald. LOL! Thanks for sharing!

@ritterjon Год назад

Reginald? Now how did you come up with that? I didn’t think this video was going to be very good but Brynlee sure was a character and seems to have gained some popularity with our tractor community. The video is actually doing quite well. Keep on tractoring!

@DIYMyWay Год назад

@@ritterjon Well gee, Jon, don’t you think it looks like a Reginald? Just kidding. I tried to think of the least tractor-like name I could and judging from your reaction, I may have succeeded. LOL!

@jeffjeffers9810 Год назад

What a great idea Jon. I bet you have your hands full with your kids lol

@ritterjon Год назад

Thanks and yes! My kids are a lot fun and they keep us very busy, but it’s a fun kind of busy we love. Keep on tractoring!

@billfenner7084 Год назад

I really like your idea. If you really want to be fancy. You could use the other one,but put it up under the ROPS. Just like a small light bar. That's just a idea.

@ritterjon Год назад

Not a bad idea, I may consider that. 🤔 Hope all is well Bill 👍 Keep on tractoring!

@billfenner7084 Год назад

@@ritterjon So far so good. I hope that all is going well with you to.

@AkDadStuff Год назад

I think you should call it BEXTER the BX Take care my friend

Hey Mike! I kinda like that name. Hope all is well with you. Keep on tractoring!

I enjoyed Brinley’ comments!!!

@ritterjon Год назад

Oh my goodness, I thought this video wasn't going to work well but after all her antics I figured people might get a kick out of it. Keep on tractoring!

@brianworley7705 Год назад

Only observation I have is that you lost your turn signal or hazard visibility to the front of the tractor. Maybe another set on the forward side of the ROPS or if there is a good way to attach to the front of the cab, maybe either side of the windshield. That could cause you as operator too much glare, but worth a try perhaps.

@ritterjon Год назад

I’ve got some lights already attached to the front of the cab. 👍 Keep on tractoring!

@PurpleCollarLife Год назад

I hope this improvement doesn't bring on winter faster! :)

@ritterjon Год назад

Ope! I didn't think of that. I sure hope I didn't mess anything up. Keep on tractoring!

@stevenmay8763 Год назад

I am looking for a set of flashers like that for my lawn garden tractor I have a garden tractor that I used as a farm utility tractor especially considering the fact b machine that I have has been modified where I can pretty much get my mower deck off in a couple of minutes I also have a slow-moving vehicle emblem for when I'm on the road but the flashers I'm looking for for additional safety because at the end of the day a tractor is a tractor no matter how big it is large or small and that's fact's

@CentralNH Год назад

Brielle, Brynlee and Brian the tractor.

@ritterjon Год назад

Well, Brynlee did say the tractor was like her little brother. Keep on tractoring!

@ritterjon Год назад

12" Amber Led LED Strip Bar amzn.to/3bgCjSF There you go Keep on tractoring!

@m9ovich785 Год назад

Could you not find any Uni-Strut Jon ? it just like the Square tube but one whole side is open . I think You are loosing a lot of Available light with just the holes in the tube. Drilling them out to a 3/4" hole would greatly improve the light output . Since you are just using Magnets, I'd would not use the Square tube at all, just mount to the Magnet. Thanks Much.

@ritterjon Год назад

If I come across some I might make that upgrade. I do like them fully protect though. I’ll have to see what it looks like at night but I think I’m good. Keep on tractoring!

@ronnieferguson5706 Год назад

Strange children take after their parents

@ritterjon Год назад

Probably a lot of truth to that. 😂 Keep on tractoring!

@ttss5726 10 месяцев назад

The in unbelievability of us men to continue to work on stuff and half a child in the area. Youd think women would watch and learn from use. The ability to ignore everything

@ya472 Год назад

Not impressed. I expect better. 😞 Why does no one modify their ROPS? Drilling mounting holes won't weaken it, or holes for concealed wiring? Are people afraid of the ROPS Police? For example.... floor trusses or steel I-beam strength is is not in the web, it is in the flange, so holes are frequently punched, for plumbing and electrical. There is a point, or ratio of hole size to web depth, and certainly bolt or screw holes do not exceed those specifications.

@ritterjon Год назад

I agree that a few holes aren’t going to compromise ROPS integrity. However where my ROPS bends near the bottom it is nearly impossible to fish wire through it. I’ve tried. Besides making the wires more accessible has its benefits for future accessories. Keep on tractoring!
