    Yeah it does. I bought one of these switches. I like the one that spins around and flashes the most. Attachment 1723989

    Road side finds are always the best... because the price is right. I've found flashlights, channelocks, pipe wrenches, hammers, phones on the side of the road

    What came to mind first was getting busted having an affair with the New Holland parts counter gal on loan from a different branch.

    Totally hypothetical of course, but “Farm Call”, right? [emoji6]

    If you can’t keep it hidden you need to get the “sleuth” model backhoe, John. Black Cat...





    Or if you’re a CASE guy...

    As long as your tiedowns meet the minimum's for the weight and points of securement for what you're hauling you're golden a lot of times we don't tie it down if it just a 'farm call'

    Re: Good amber light for truck

    Or should I go with just 1 beacon in the center of the rack. Mostly what I want the lights for is acting as sort of a pilot car for when we haul equipment up the grade real slow...

    Re: Good amber light for truck

    Im liking the idea of 2 Ecco led beacons on each side of the rack instead of just 1 mini lightbar. That seems to be what most guys are running.

    Fo the last ten years or so we used all strobes that looked CLEAR but flashed amber.

    Even the directional light bars.....







    As ronsii mentioned i switched to led also.

    We usually run these whelen mid size strobes, one each side of the rack. They last about a year or two if you use them a lot working in the city like we do... been thinking about switching to led versions and a different brand as whelen just doesn't last as long as they used to...

    Buy Whelen or similar brand named tested equipment.

    I recently bought a Light bar for the top of my Jeep. It was $600 BLACK OAK LED ....

    I also have RIGID brand LED lights on my Kubota and pickup.

    BUY ONCE / CRY ONCE.
    Always went with Whelen and similar. There’s a good reason why they cost more.

    Re: Good amber light for truck

    Actually YES
    Louie just reminded me....

    I DO have a couple Feniex small lights... and they compare to the Whelen TR3 at about half the price.

    I still prefer Whelen... but if yer on a budget..... they are worth looking into.
