Night Mowing

Recommended Posts

bmsgaffer

I dont get home till its almost dark now and I have my boy on the weekends so I was really running out of options! I needed to cut the grass!

 

 

  :techie-eureka:  My "aha moment" 5 minute solution:

 

Inverter + LED work light + bungee cords. It ain't pretty but it sure did work. Its hard to tell in the pictures but that light is almost 4x as bright as the headlights.

There was no light to the sides or behind me which would have been very helpful for some cutting and when I was sweeping the leaves, so i think my ultimate tractor (C-205HD thread) will get full perimeter LED lighting that will be cleverly hidden.

There is never a moment when Pink Floyd shouldn't be on the brain!

I can see the next step... It'll be too hot and a 5000 BTU AC window unit will be strapped up there...

The other thing about night mowing is the spark show if you hit a rock. (my yard has many large flat rocks that the mower will hit if set too low).
