I have always enjoyed snow removal in the dark. Something about the way a tractor illuminates the night in a way that only happens in winter and making it do work is fun for me. I did a bit of snow removal the other night and captured it on video. Hope y'all enjoy.

related question... how much more amps will 100 watt headlight bulbs draw vs 35 watt bulbs? (running 2 of them in either case) wanting to use these, mostly since I have them laying here collecting dust.... don't have to go buy, so they cost me nothing.... got them from a buddy of mine some years ago. same size, fit just like the regular ones.... also are 12V rated. . eventual plans are to go to LED's.... which I know will drive the amp draw downwards even compared to stock 35 watters...... but right now I have a tractor that looks like Popeye and I am trying to get ready in case I need it for snow duty....

Watts divided by volts = amps. So at 12 volts the 35 watt draws about 3 amps and a 100 watt a little over 8.

Yep some have all the fun! May look even better with some Christmas LED light on that cub Daniel!

I always do the snow removal nighttime! No traffic and it so quiet, you can ear your paw "skouiking" in the snow as you walk to your cub, it's you and your machine against the element! You fight few hours, came back home for a hot coco, sit in front of a warm firework or your 70" TV... Mission accomplished, you have survived another day.

The problem is you need more power then your alternator/stator can produce so you drain your battery and overload the charging system . I use 2X50W halogen with success so I stick with that on all my cub for now, I try few LED beam and anything under 24W (8X3Wcree) seem less powerful.

Well, you could wire them in series instead of parallel. That would cut your current flow back to around 4 amps but you would only get 50 watts out of each bulb. Also if one bulb burns out the other won't light.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
