Need help finding a flood light to attach to my foreman

Hey guys, I am looking for a decent flood light that I can attach and remove easily for my foreman that can plug into the 12v adapter on the front. I would like it on a swivel.

Basically what I am looking to do is use the flood light to light up the run in for the horses while I am cleaning since itll be getting dark earlier now. It would be the easiest solution for me and also serve other purposes as well.

Running on. Creeping?

I just bought my first ever Atv. 2003 Sportsman 500. Looked to be in good shape. Low mileage of 1400 km for that year. Anyway my son drove it a bunch yesterday and reports it won’t stop running when he tries to come to a stop. And really hard to get out of gear. Is this a belt problem. The belt has never been changed according to the previous owner. Or is it a clutch issue. Looking for a sequence of things I can do or check in order of simplest first. Hope you can help. Hope my first atv isn’t a dud.

Winter Bum Warmer

Get off the quad for 5 min. and the seat is freezing cold when you get back on? Simple remedy. Fill an old pillow case with syrofoam worms. Just a thin layer. Find someone who’s handy with a sewing machine to sew a few seams lengthways and across, keeping a handful in each section. I can promise you that when you sit on it you bum will start to warm up within a minute. I have one for the truck and it works as well as any seat heater.

2015 Rancher Diff Lock

As many people know, highlighter has made spool lockers and such for Honda ATVs with the limited slip diff (that never goes into 4WD if I’m not mistaken). When do y’all think Highlighter will make a locker for the 2015s and would it only engage if the ATV was in 4WD instead of full time 4WD?
