OK....I considered adding some extra iron to keep the wood out of my grille....but figured I had pretty fair protection when I built my guard this winter. WRONG!! Yesterday when working in the timber, I ran a 3" diameter branch through my front radiator screen...glancing off the battery...and out the side pannel / screen. Luckily the battery deflected the branch enough to prevent damage to the radiator. It coulda been worse. 
I have removed my "guard" and plan to add lots of iron to it and hopefully that will eliminate future problems when clearing brush and logs. I'm not sure what Deere gets for a new front and side grille
(and I'm going to try to repair mine) .....but I'm sure it's not cheap.
