I installed some lights on the tractor. 'Installed' is a misleading word because I put the lights on magnets and wired them up to run off of the cigarette lighter so I can remove them when doing work in the woods or in the summer months. Everything is set to get except one of the light shipped was DOA. Replacing it should only take a few minutes and I will feel better about winter. Next up... filling the tires with winter windshield washer fluid for more weight.
Pictures were taken in my dark garage. 2 pointing to the back and 2 to the front... but only one for now since the other was burned out. Quite bright and they draw no power. This saved me from having to dig into the tractor wires and permanently mount the lights. KVR -- my ROPS bar is much higher than yours and I can't drive in to the garage with it up. If that wasn't the cast I would permanently mount them to the top of the ROPS and be done with it.

Added more lights. 8 in total. 2 forward, 2 to the front sides, 2 to the middle sides, and 2 to the back. I used Harbor Freight 3" magnet bases and some bolts I had laying around to mount the lights to the magnets and a cigarette lighter adapter I cut and wired the lights into.
Lit up -- it is pretty bright.
I also dropped a ~300lb round log onto the hood of the tractor 2 weeks ago. I have been able to knock out some of the dents but it doesn't look too bad -- but still a bummer.
This was pre-knocking the dents out.
