how do you deal with tractor lighting when there is a loader attatched? the non rops and non cabbed classics always seem to have their lights blocked by the loader somehow. And some of the newer not so classics with headlights in the grille definitely have the lights blocked by the loader. How are the 56 series IHs with flat top deluxe fenders for lighting the loader work area? None of ours has a loader on but that light location is inspiring an idea.
My idea would be road/work (headlamp) lights on the outside left and right loader frame uprights, and a work light (flood beam) or two on the front of the loader somewhere above the bucket. The work light would have to be switched seperately from the road lights for safety/regulations, but the location of the road lights would then allow you to _be seen_ and to see, regardless of the bucket height. Additionally, an extra flood near each of the headlights could aid field/work visibility beyond the narrow standard beams. Should use relays and good heavy wires with redundant grounds with all those lights.
Additionally, for road travel, legal reflectors/stick on reflectors of proper colors should be placed at the front, rear, left, and right extremeties of the unit. Visibility equals safety and covers your rear if something unexpected happens.
