I'm planning to add a brushguard to NH TC 40DA. Don't have the guard yet, but would like to weld expanded metal "mesh" to the structure to protect against pesky sticks and branches. Does anyone have such a guard and does my plan sound feasible??
I'd put something on, like chains or strips of tires, that is flexible. On my Gravely, it had a solid metal guard in the rear (PTO and brush hog out front). It would easily get hung on stobs or other things sticking up. Finally had to replace the shield after it got bent and broke the middle bolt support.
I guess I'm going to have fabricated brushguard with expanded metal and separate "skid plate" for underneath radiator, an area that is wide open on the NH TC40 and good access for branches, etc.
