L3560 - Front Light Bar

[skipatrol21]

I picked up a 32” light bar from Harbor Freight and mounted it using the factory tractor mounting brackets. From there, I added an extension bar and a piece of angle iron to mount my strobe lights as well.


The light bar is wired into the factory front light switch inside the cab, so it turns on just like the stock lights.


I’ve seen a lot of threads asking how to add a light bar without overcomplicating things, so hopefully this helps someone looking for a simple, budget-friendly solution.

Looks nice

I don’t use my tractor at night much/ever, but my grill guard makes my factory headlights “basically useless"

No strobe either…..But I do yell “BEEP, BEEP, BEEP……” when backing up….

Nice installation.

I wonder if, at night, it doesn’t give you a lot of “back-glare” from the hood…?

Did you place it on its own fuse and/or relay?

Next time I plow at night Ill take a photo. zero glare black. The middle of the bar, is a long throw beam, and the side 8 LED are wide spots. Its a great light bar.

It was close in the same wattage as the 2 regular Bulbs Lights Kubota sells. Its on its own 20amp fuse.

Here are the photos with and with out the light bar on. Hood has snow on it and I have zero glare back at me.

That looks nice. I have purchased LEDs for the back my 3560, just waiting for warmer weather. If I get permission from the finance board, I will look at following in your footsteps.

Looks good. I'm going to add one to the front and rear of the L5460.

When it comes to tractors, I'll spend $100 or so on a light bar but not much more! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. I have LED cubes to add to both tractors, but the factory front and rear work lights are good enough that I haven't made it a priority.

I ordered a pair of 12" VisionX light bars for my F-250 this week. They're $$$ but it's the only brand I'll run on my road vehicles. I have VisionX light bars on the F-250 and Jeep along with VisionX headlights in the Jeep. I've had VisionX lights on other vehicles over the past 15 years. They're simply an amazing product. At some point I'll add a light bar or two to the F-450 but the factory lights are very good so no rush there.

I plow a lot at night, and needed more than the 2 LED lights I had. I got this at harbor freight, and cost me $99 and have a 3 year warranty, it breaks for any reason, and i bring it in for a new one. But Wish I upgraded sooner.

I forget how much I paid for the LED cubes but I think it was $100 for two pairs with spot and flood. I'll get them installed at some point.

I ordered front and rear lightbar mounts from specialtyrepairscustommods.com as well as their cube light mounts. Wheather permitting, I should have them early next week and then I'll see what I'm going to order for lights.
