Polaris Ranger EV Mods – Part 2: Adding A Front LED Light Bar and An Improved Charging Port

Polaris Ranger EV Mods – Part 2: Adding A Front LED Light Bar and An Improved Charging Port

In Part 1 of this series, I added rear work lights to my Polaris Range EV. In this post, I cover the installation of the front light bar and a better charging port than the stock setup. Then I take the Ranger on a night drive to test out the lights. Wow! What an improvement!

Polaris Ranger EV Mods – Part 1: Adding Rear LED Lights

When I added LED lights to my tractor it opened my eyes to the benefits of having super bright light to work by after dark. While the headlights on my Ranger are adequate for night driving, there's no comparison to the light bars. But in this post, I start with the rear LED lights.

Kubota Tractor Mod: Adding A USB Charger & Voltmeter

In my last post, I installed a phone holder on my tractor, which is very convenient but I wanted a way to charge it while in the holder. So in this post I install a combination USB charger and voltmeter to kill two birds with one stone.

A Versatile Plywood and Lumber Storage Cart: Easy to Build and Versatile!

I decided to build a rolling plywood and wood storage cart so it can be moved around in the shop if needed. I wanted to build it with material I had on hand, if possible. Also, I wanted it to be simple to build and easily adapted for changing needs.

Kubota Tractor Therapy: Clearing Logs

Kubota Tractor Therapy: Clearing Logs

So today I just needed some good old Kubota Tractor Therapy. Seems like moving the logs of those trees that Bob pushed down, then I cut up would be just what the doctor ordered.

Building the Shop: Power Concrete and More!

At last, real progress on the shop building! And I get to operate a skid steer for the first time in 30 years. That was fun!

Building a Raised Garden Bed

Building a Raised Garden Bed

These two raised garden beds were built to replace one long one that was only one foot tall. We decided we wanted taller versions this time and made two beds, so it was easier to move from one side to the other without having to walk all the way around. They may be taller than most raised garden beds but we love them this way!
