Hey, thanks for the link Nick. Unfortunately the video only shows a mowing operation. And they are also recommending the ROPS option to CYA (cover your a**). My concern is with front mounted attachments with just the fender mounted lights. I think the video has already answered my question. And where are the new 1026r owners? :unknown:
Hi Randy! Thought that I would resurrect this old thread since, as you know, I'm a new 1026R owner.:laugh:
Anyways, tonight I finally had an opportunity to have my tractor out in the dark. Holy crap does this thing light up nicely. I was doing pallet fork work and the work lights seemed to be far better than just using the headlights and fendor lights. I have to agree, though, that the ROPS lights are mounted a bit low compared to say, the 2520 and 2720. I almost feel silly with the glare shrouds on since the lights are not at eye level. That being said, I have a friend that purchased a 1026R with the MCS on it, and his dealer moved the lights up so that they clear. I wish that I had a picture of his tractor to show with the MCS mounted, but you should be able to see how much higher these are mounted than a standard 1026R.
As you can see, they place the work lights much further up the ROPS where I believe they also would be much better for loader work. (And then I also won't feel silly for having the glare shrouds on:mocking

I have looked through the 1026R parts manual and cannot find what kit is needed to do this. I even tried the configurator thinking that it would be listed as an option for the MCS. No luck there either. I asked my friend to check with his dealer, which he has not done as of yet. Then I thought that maybe it came automatically with the MCS, or perhaps the dealer made the modification on their own. Anyone?!?:unknown:
