Brush Guard for Cab Tractor

TripleR · Jan 31, 2014

I wasn't sure where to post this or how to do the photos, so.... After knocking some holes in my cab, my brother repaired it and put brush guards on. It is designed for easy removal and uses steel tubing. I didn't do any of the work, so I don't have specifics. This should work to generate ideas regardless of the make/model of your tractor.

That is VERY cool. I don't have the need for it myself (as I'm only dealing with cedar trees), but it's a great design for those who do. Kudos to your brother.

Nice job, looks very professional, just what a nice tractor like that needs!

Just an FYI for those who have been told a Kubota cab top cannot be fixed, buy a new one, this is what the top looked like before my brother fixed it, damage on both front corners with most on the left front.

Triple r- Looks great, I like it. I would have loved to have a cab, but with all of the trees we have here in East Texas I would have destroyed one in a very short time. Now it looks like you're a lot closer to bullet-proof.

I sure know what you mean, I don't know why someone doesn't make these for tractors. My allergies have gotten so bad, I often wear a 3M dust mask even with a cab.

I sure wish I could run an open station as even with this, there are places on our farms I just can't go and even a ROPS gets in the way.

After hooks on the bucket this is my 2nd mod for my 3037. Have to try hard to not over do it. I really like the light guards on the back. Nice finishing on the welds too. May I ask what sort of tubing he used? I'm thinking maybe black gas pipe?

My problem is the side mirrors on my cab. They keep jumping out and hitting trees.

I finally gave up and started taking the side mirrors off my tractor for the summers.

I leave my mirrors on, back problems make it impossible to turn around to see behind me. Our renters fold the mirrors all the way forward on his 7000 Series John Deere when working around trees and that seems to work well.
