Headlights yeah or nay

[sqrlgtr 1,481]

Stuck these lights on the 1257 today just to see what they look like. The holes are already there so dont know if I want to fill them in, leave them alone, or run these lights? They would be handy in the dark  of night . What is everyone’s opinion?

I kinda like them.  Makes the tractor look alert and ready to go.

 

But, your tractor, your choice.  If you operate a lot at night, looks take second place to being able to see in the dark.

When plowing driveways I'm crossing the state road a lot.        I like lights on day and night.

Yellow flashers are a legal requirement here

  The holes were already there AND they serve a useful purpose. Keep em! 
  These were already on my 857 when I bought it at the Wheel Horse Show a couple years back, so they’re going to stay.

@sqrlgtr If you decide you don't want them, I'd be interested in them.

I run a lot of lights day and night. Both to see and be seen... I vote you keep them.

I have never plowed snow after sundown but do have the lights on when I a\m plowing in the event someone is out on the roads.

Looks like its unanimous so far that I keep um. I thought I would of liked them better if they were mounted a little lower, kinda where @Sparky and @Bar Nuthin has there's', but they are kinda growing on me. Gotta admit if the holes weren't already there I wouldn't have even thought about putting them on there.

  Not an oil wipe-down, previous owner shot my 857 with clear coat. It’s permanent !

I definitely like the looks of those lights, they look period correct.

I like the lights. 

 

The older I get, the more I prefer doing yard work at night anyway. Adding good lights has become a thing for my machines. My son's Ranger and my 701 are the only ones I have with no lights.
