What Gene says. Since it is absolutely possible to have good lighting on a six volt system it is up to you to get it there. The one big issue to check is the connections in your electrical system. Make sure your wiring is good and the right gauge. Go thru it component by component and clean every connection. Be sure to identify how each component grounds and clean those grounds. Having done that it is a good idea to check on the genny. Tractor lights put a major load on the charging system and may require some adjusting. If you have a good ammeter try it for yourself. Run the tractor with lights off and then turn them on while watching the ammeter. The drop in charge can be dramatic. In times when you are using the lights a lot it may be necessary to adjust your genny up a bit, if possible. You need to keep the charging rate up to avoid discharging the battery. Don't want it up too much or you may overcharge and heat up the genny. Once adjusted you will want to keep the lights on all the time. On my plow tractor I keep a screwdriver in the toolbox and adjust the genny to a good charging rate as needed. I figure that is why they put a gauge on the tractor and an adjustment on the genny...so I would be able to keep it where it should be.
