Armour kit installed - grill guard left over

Thanks for pointing it out, Gary. That's really unfortunate as I agree that there is just too much under there that can get whacked by a rock or something else in the field. Maybe JD will wake up and create one or some third party will create a kit that we can use.

I also spent some time in the accessory area on the JD website. My birthday and x-Mas list are now made out (backup lights, etc...)

Thanks for the feedback and information everyone.

I have a 4300 and would love to have a Grill Guard/ I do not yet have a FEL but am considering one/ At any rate, In the woods I have been clearing the brush and tree branches are constantly attacking the front of my baby. What did you have in mind.

I fabricated a skid pan for mine that goes from the front axle to the hitch in the rear. Put flares on it about midway to cover the trans oil filter and all the linkages, brake lines and such. Haven't bent or torn anything since. Very simple to put on and it pivots from the front so is easy to clean. I use mine in the woods quite a bit and a skid pan is escencial.
