Brush guard for non trellised rows

[nayab]

Is there some kind of contraption for pushing aside brush so that the tires doesn't trample it.
I have a blueberry farm and often have to mow between the rows. When the fruit forms the vines/branches become heavy tend to bend down into the rows. Then when I try to mow, my tractor tires may grab and trample on these branches. I was wondering if there's some kind of extended bumper guard or shield that will instead temporarily push the branches aside out of the way until the tractor passes?

I have the same issue with tilling my raspberry rows. I eventually came to the conclusion that pruning the plants to remove the low hanging branches early in the season is the most workable solution.

Yours is the exact purpose for which vineyard tractors exist.
If a vineyard tractor is not in your future, consider buying aftermarket vineyard tractor fenders, or box-in your present fenders, like this:

You might be able to adapt old pickup wheel-well liners to your present fenders, to extend them enough to guide stems upward and outward enough to prevent plant/fruit damage.
It just occurred to me; I wonder if a length of 3/4" PVC pipe could be heated and shaped into a guide bar to pickup low branches and guide them up and away from tires?
It would be light, easy to mount/remove as needed.

I use a JD F1445 mower for this very reason. I can get most if not all the way around our blueberry/blackberry/raspberry/fruit trees and cut what I need to. No other zero turn worked for me, My rows are about 10 ' wide with at least 2-3 ft of "plant" in the middle.
