After bending one of my FEL tubes with astray maple sapling, I decided to throw this brushguard together with parts and pieces in the "boneyard". Works well when "digging into" my real thick brush piles. Any opinions?

PS Posted similar thread in BIY, but pics never came up until later...I am trying again.BTW, I have gleaned quite a few good ideas from visiting TBN in the past few months...thanks to all of you.

Those are two separate forks which I linked together with old scaffolding in order to pick up piles of brush and logs...example shown.

Makes sense, I figured they were some type of forks but had never seen that style before. Very nice.

Great looking protection,..nice job! I have the "Deluxe Hood Guard" on my JD-3520-Cab, with the screening front and sides but a stray branch managed to get under it and poked a dent in my grill screen! (Dam!) At least I got stopped before it poked my rad.

Yours looks pretty heavy duty,...nice!
CHEERS!

thanks guys...t'was a matter of necesity...i hate bending hydraulic tubes and you just never know when the next branch is coming at you( i bought my tractor to work like it's daddy)... the guard is actually the mounts of a mower deck, some recycled scaffolding, and a used receiver hitch carryall...there is NOTHING more satisfying than putting bad junk to good use...Amen...

ps...am hoping to polish it up and paint it so it doesn't look so gnarly...but that will have to wait till winter time in the garage...
