Default LED headlights?

What are some nice LED headlights? I went with 50watt GE bulbs, but they run the battery down. I don't think the generator can keep up.

A normal headlamp rated at 50W will draw about 4.2 Amps. Running two would be 8.4 Amps. The Charging system on a Cub Cadet, if all is working as it should, will put out 15 Amps. There should be more than enough charging to handle two 50W headlamps.

Well I'm not sure, but after blowing snow the last blizzard for a few hours with the headlights on- when I shut the tractor off to clear a clog- it would barely turn over. When I turned the lights off, it held a charge just fine. I don't think LED's would hurt in any case.

LED Headlamps would less amperage than the traditional incandescent type.

BTW, the normal & correct incandescent lamps that Cub Cadet used were #4411, that were 35W rated.

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.
