What happens here
The video clearly shows front-mounted lights on the modified fertilizer spreaders, indicating their importance for visibility. Install appropriate LED work lights or floodlights on the front of the spreader. These can be mounted directly on the plow mounts or on a dedicated bracket attached to the spreader frame, ensuring they illuminate the area in front of the plow during low-light conditions (which are common during snow removal). Wire these lights to the spreader's electrical system, using appropriate gauges of wire, weather-resistant connectors, and an accessible switch for operation. Ensure all wiring is neatly routed and protected from abrasion, heat, and moisture.
Goal: Enhance visibility during snow plowing with front-mounted auxiliary lighting.
Tools and materials
- Electrical Connectors — For making secure and weather-resistant electrical connections
- Electrical Wire — For connecting the lights to the spreader's power source
- Heat Shrink Tubing or Electrical Tape — For insulating and protecting electrical connections from moisture and corrosion
- Inline Fuse Holder and Fuses — For providing circuit protection to the new lighting system
- LED Work Lights/Floodlights — For illuminating the work area in front of the plow
- Toggle Switch or Rocker Switch — To control the on/off function of the auxiliary lights
- Wire Strippers/Crimpers — For preparing wire ends and securely attaching electrical connectors
- Zip Ties or Wire Clamps — For neatly securing wiring harnesses to the spreader's frame, preventing snagging or damage
