Light and Loaders don't mix

For "working" lights, the best deal I've found is to mount them as high as you practically can at a point about a foot forward of the dash. If you have a loader style with a cross-member over that area, you can mount stalks off that cross member. The idea is to light the way ahead over a loaded bucket that's maybe a foot off the ground. Makes the tractor look like a snail - eyes up on stalks - but it works. For more refinement, you can add a worklight that's more directed onto/into the bucket, on a stalk attached to the loader arm - this is for working the bucket, and you should probably turn it off for transport.

That's what's worked the best for me. This is similar to the lighting rigging you will see on modern loaders - headlights and floodlights are mounted in the upper brow of the cab, to shine over the bucket.
