Tractor Lights

[jltrent]

I miss my CD player built in the radio. Then I very seldom listen to the radio part. Hard to find now.

My 7130 CaseIH came with LED lights when I bought it. I have never noticed any problems with the radio coming in. With the new radio I put in the tractor I can connect to my phone and play Pandora.

Hard to beat the old John Deeres of long ago. Dim lights and no radio, but simple and reliable.

Radio interference from some LED lights is absolutely real. I have no idea why you would suggest otherwise, it's very well documented.

Well i do have the right to my own opinion. I haven't experienced any issues with my tractors , trucks or boat. It may very well be because I've given up on cheap lights , wiring and those horrible Amazon plugs and switches. You are correct it is well documented . Just like aliens from under the ocean to which i say "hogwash" .
Most likely someone saw me in boat with my leds on .

The speakers in the newer cab John Deeres, definitely put out some sound. Sirius radio would be great if you are on the tractor every day for an extended period of time. So many stations to listen to like having a satellite or fiber optic service where there seems to be 1000 shows to watch. I remember my husband going through all the stations constantly on the TV and when a commercial would come on, he starts surfing the channels again. You would be watching a good show and I would go nuts when he started changing the channel as he never made it back to the show when it came back on. So I put a TV in the kitchen so I could watch an entire show. I watched the series, "The Walking Dead," and have been watching it again. Now I see so many things that I missed while he changed the channels. :ROFLMAO: Never did watch the add ons.
I suppose with GPS on tractors now, you could surf all you wanted to since the tractor takes you where you need to be.

Better to put your Sirius radio on your phone, and then have it bluetooth to your radio... you can have it with you in any vehicle then with just one subscription.

That works but to get around the john deere speakers I've just went phone to earpiece and listen to YouTube.

My radios don’t Bluetooth, but I bought a $20 speaker that my phone connects to and throw on the dash. It’s not great sound quality like my friend’s Bose speaker, but it works good good enough and cheap.

It's not an opinion, you're just wrong.

Lol. Right or wrong it's a opinion.
Maybe I'm wrong,

It's not an opinion, you're just wrong.

Maybe. Have you experienced issues??

Ya mean you're not supposed to drive along with a flashlight bearing person sitting on the rear fender????

Headlamp would be best. Won't interfere with you playing the guitar and singing.

As long as you have cell service. Or a Starlink min you pack around.

Since I have neither of those I just listen to the engine and equipment working. Haha

The work Lights on the m7040 need replacing. 3 of the 4 have stopped functioning.

Ive read about issues with LED lights interfering with radio or other electronic stuff. Anyonr know much about that? Id like to replace the 4 work Lights and also add a flood style light bar on front. Can the factory wiring handle led lights to replace the old style?

While on the topic, would like to put a front and rear light on a ford 5610 and a case 495, both from the early 90's and both currently have zero lights.

Very much am open to brand and light suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

I hate to recommend stuff like this , you never know how it's going to work out for someone else.

Here's a couple of lights i am currently using and feel confident recommending as good enough and not to pricey.
I have this on the headache rack of a flatbed. Where with enough slack in the harness to turn it to face forward or back as needed.

Ive replaced the bow lights from a pair of Amazon lights to these. These lights will reach out there. And would be a good replacement for the corners on a tractor imo. Might be some fit issues on some tractors but nothing that can't be dealt with.

Of course, thats how I know its real.

 

[ClinchValley86]

Are you going to work at night or listen to the radio? Lol

Both

 

[Brute 23]

How is a person supposed to listen to podcasts with no radio?

 

[worldsgreatestlover]

Of course, thats how I know its real.

Then obviously I'm wrong. Hope we're good.

Yes Plenty loud, unfortunately lots of sounds they're not supposed to make.

The JD tractor I drove did not have anything else coming through the speakers other than the station. But I did not have any electronics hooked up. Just running a cutter or moving hay.
The radio stations where I am located come in strong.
