Kioti CX2510
Looking for an aftermarket brush or grill guard that is either adjustable so as not interfere with headlights and/or is of a quick attach/detach nature. Any recommendations? I have a Kioti CX2510 but if there's a maker that makes one for your non-CX2510, maybe they'll make one for my Kioti.

Why not just make one yourself exactly to your specs. That's what I did and it was much heavier built than anything I could buy, and I think it looks better too. Had $60 in material and a couple hours of work.

Looks good, & I like the higher lightbar since headlights always get interference from the FEL anyway. Any damage to the lightbar in that location? Separate switch or tied into Headlights?

Thanks! The light bar has been perfect there and the side lights are nice too. They can be aimed where ever I want them. I haven't had any damage to it yet and I do a ton of tree and brush work with it. I put it on a separate switch that comes from the battery so that I can use them even if the tractor is off. I didn't want to drill a hole in the dash so I drilled one through the plastic guard around the loader valve. I really like it there because it's out of the way and can't accidently hit the switch, but it's still very easily accessible.

Same applies to brush guards for pickup trucks. Most of them cover the headlamps and not something I see that is conducive to cleaning the headlights and why I never got one.

I take my brush guard off for winter plowing. It attaches with (4) bolts

Weld up your own... never could figure out why people blocked their head lights... I can see that section from my seat...

2 things, It would block my view and second, I can see if branches are about to poke out a light in that area and 3rd, I don't drive through tall "crap" (ok, I lied about the 2 things....) ☺️

Well, at least in my experience, the grille guards don't dim the light as much as I'd anticipated. It's not like the lights are all that great to begin with; if I was doing more work after dark I would add work lights.
