Anyone put a light bar on a combine?

Nick m · Sep 9, 2017

As I'm tinkering with the lights on the ol 1460, I was searching for replacements and came across curved light bars. I'm thinking they'd work very well. Just not real sure what I need. Brand? Lumen? How long? Have any of you guys done this and what would you recommend?

No lights ,but saw a combine with a camera mounted above the chopper.....might prevent a few dents. Ben

old 8820, put a 48'' light bar on top of cab made a hugh difference, pointed about 50-60' in front of head two 9''lights one on each side mounted where the factory lights were pointed at the corner of the bean head just out front a little bit, four 6'' lights across cutter bar, so you can see rocks. looks like day time

I plan to put one on mine. Going for the curved style.

BTO across the road from me has two new HUGE JD combines, 40 ft headers, 2 or 3 light bars on each. JD tractor with grain cart has one too. 3 semi trucks all lit up, looks like the carnival came to town. They went until 2 a.m. last night

Finally with LED stuff the amp draw is low enough you can finally get all the light you want where you want it.

My uncle mounted down facing LED lights on the end of the auger to light inside their dump carts so it's no longer like augering grain into a black hole. The inside of the box is now lit up like a football stadium.

Rarely do we get a technical innovation of this magnitude. They aren't just 5 or 10% more efficient, they're 90% more efficient.
