35W, or just about double the load of the original 18W lamps- 2.9A per lamp, basically. I don't think it'll cause the alternator much grief.

<b>Overall Rating is a 5</b> ( 1-5 5=Excellent)<br>
<br>
<b>Pros</b><br>
1. Power<br>
2. HST is a great asset for loader work<br>
3. Power<br>
<br>
<b>Cons</b> <br>
The only issue I have with my machine is that the quarter-inching valve often sticks in a slow-drift-lower position- there's no positive detent at neutral. This can lead to moving more dirt than desired with a box blade, as it slowly drifts down unnoticed. That should be an easy fix with a little TLC. I'd also like it a lot if the parking brake would release with any application of forward or backward drive, but that's an operator-error issue. <br>

<b>Review Commentary</b><br>
Ditto what kubotaguy said. I have 10 hours on mine, and just upgraded to the B2910's telescoping 3-pt stabilizers as suggested elsewhere on the site by beagle. Those represent a great improvement over the 7800's turnbuckle check-chain arrangement for quick implement changes.<br>
<br>
I also have the 2910 headlight cluster to install, but have not done so yet, as the stub wiring harness at the back of the assembly will need to change as well and I didn't order it. This takes the headlight from the stock 18W taillight lamp to a 23W bayonet-base lamp, and provides a wider beam spread (from what I've seen in trying them on the B2910 at a dealer). I intend to try upgrading the lamps to 35W halogens (they use a standard taillight-style bayonet base) for winter plowing. They are wired with 16AWG and fused at 10A, so the ~6A draw of the halogens seems to be a reasonable thing to try.<br>
<br>
<b>Summary</b><br>
Otherwise, my machine has done everything I've asked of it, and much more than I expected.
