"I
use it on my tractor when pushing
snow out of my driveway. It just
makes it easier for traffic to see
me in case I don’t see them. It work
well and can be seen at a distance."

"I
made a mistake when I first bought a
2 joule strobe to mount on the roof
of my tractor when I have the snow
blower mounted. I never quite felt
safe when I had to drive on the road
in limited visibility conditions. We
don't have a very busy road, but it
is very hilly with lots of curves
and I didn't feel that I was giving
enough warning distance when I'd run
the snow rig to clear neighboring
lanes.
I moved up to the 8 joule beacon and
haven't had any second thoughts at
all. It appears to be about the same
intensity as the state plow trucks
use. I've mounted a two conductor
"trailer" plug to the tractor cab
wiring so all I have to do is place
the magnetic base on the cab roof
and plug it in when I mount the snow
blower. I remove it at the end of
the blowing session and "stick" it
to the chute of the blower so it is
ready for next time.
I made an excellent choice this time
and I couldn't be happier with the
results. Northern has made me feel
safe again."
