I saw some on Paul Short's kubota bx25, you can check his youtube channel or probably pm him through through tractorbynet.

I would never consider them for my tractor, but maybe your usage is similar to his.

This may be a stupid question but, what use are front fenders on a tractor?

Mostly I think it looks better with some fenders covering the tires, but if you are playing in the mud it might help keep some debris from getting thrown up on the tractor.

If that model is being sold in Europe, then front fenders are available from the manufacturer.

It has to do with driving a tractor on public roads, even when going a short distance between paddocks.

You have never worked on a stock farm.The amount of mud and animal crap that comes of the front wheels would surprise you. Cab=niusance, open station = duck, usually to late. Fenders help keep the tractor clean to.

In Canada many tractors are used for snow removal and travel the streets from driveway to driveway thus flinging wet snow every which way.
I believe it to be a legal code requirement in Quebec.
Another requirement is a yellow flashing beacon when on the road.

In rural areas tractors do travel many miles in a day after snow fall events, sometimes as many as a dozen or so can be seen on the road traveling to next client.

You got that right. I grew up on a cattle farm and either the windows on the cab got so full of mud or crap that you couldn't see out of them or on an open station tractor you got the stuff all over you.
