10-4 on the Ol' Hogging After-Dark routine! A few years ago during a particularly HOT spell, I was forced to bush-hog a HUGE field to abate the JohnsonGrass Problem. (It's ILLEGAL here in VA) We were between rent-farmers, and the grass was getting over 6 feet tall in places. During the day, it was impossible, as the sun was beating down and the temps were over 100 degrees. Unfortunately, at the time I did not have the lights rigged, my Dad had removed them to allow the Dreaded Ferguson Manure Loader to work. And failed to re-install them. So was forced to make do with a flash-lite duct-taped to the hood. Imagine me at 2:00 am out there hogging!! But, it was done!! Now, the farmer keeps the weeds down, and I only have the pasture, road verges, barnyard, etc,etc,etc. Hell, the tractor is about my age and deserves a break, hehehe. (I just wish I was in the same good shape as the tractor, hehehe.) One of the things I did when I re-did this tractor was to put the lights back on!! (After restoring them) Makes a world of difference, especially with the nice 12V sealed-beams!
