Do any tractor makes/models have metal frames around their glass doors the way a truck does?

New Holland PowerStar 75
Asked by a guy who definitely did not just shatter the left door of his New Holland PowerStar by flexing it too hard backwards against the hinges. 🙄

I think I've learned the hard way that I don't like any design that bolts the hinges directly onto unsupported glass, especially when it's the size of a car hood.

But when you did bend them a whole harder to get them straight than replacing glass 😉🚜

My 1994 CIH 894 has steel framed doors. My 2007 Branson 6530 doesn't. I was running my 6' drum mower one day and put a rock into the Branson. Shattered into a million pieces. Got a new one in like 3 days from the warehouse in Plainview, Tx. and we put it in....not a big deal.

Since that incident I made an aluminum shield for the lower half of it and attached with suction cups when mowing. Had no more problems.

I've thought about doing this too. Next time I'll at least splurge for front fenders since I road so much down gravel roads.
