Tractor Outlet Box Makes It Easy To Wire Electrical Accessories
You can wire accessories such as sprayer monitors, seed monitors, yield monitors, CB radios, FM radios, telephones, and guidance system monitors to this new "outlet box" that mounts on the side of the tractor for easy, no hassle electrical hookups.The "Ag Power Center" allows six different accessories to be wired together. It comes with a heavy duty cable that connects to the battery and a control wire that hooks up to the ignition. "If needed, you can wire it up so some of the accessories work even after you shut off the tractor," says Jeff Roberts, Harvest Tec, Hudson, Wis. "For ex-ample, you might want to keep a cellular phone æhot' so that you can still hear it ring after you get off the tractor. You might want to hook up monitors so that they automatically turn off whenever you shut off the tractor so they don't run down the battery.
"The outlet box can even be used to power most electric-powered pumps and compressors on sprayers. It's available with a 3-pole convenience outlet that matches the factory outlets on 1993 and newer Deere, wired together.
Case-IH, and Ford tractors. That way you can still use it whenever you switch accessories from a new tractor to an old one."
Sells for $58.50 with the convenience outlet; $38.95 without it.
