Does anyone have/make front fenders for M7040?

[grader guy]

I really want to put front fenders on my tractor but I can not find any. Anyone have any?? Thanks

Seem to remember Canada (and others) having them but not the US. I know I've seen pictures and / or videos of them.

Front fenders look cool but, like something else I'd bend in about a day and a half. From the pictures I've seen, I get the idea they're common only in locations where they're required for road travel. Some of the tractors with them also had license plates. I think they were somewhere in Europe.

Don't recall seeing front fenders up here on M7040's (at least locally) Yes they'd be nice, be I am thinking they'd they caught on stuff.

Thanks for the replies. I use the tractor for snow in the winter so traveling on the road throws junk back on the cab. I am sure I could have some made but trying to keep it simple. Thanks

When I bought my M108S I was interested in fenders but they were only available for the larger M100GX to M135GX plainly shown on Kubota's 2013 catalog cover. Later they became available for the M108S and others according to the Build My Kubota site, but the price was approximately $1000. I looked up the parts to check individual prices and the fender is about $100 plus and the support linkage, frame etc, is roughly $900. Wow! Needless to say, I gave up on fenders.

I know these tractors are larger than yours, but you might be able to get an idea of how to build your own by looking at their design on the Kubota Parts site. Perhaps some of these parts might fit your M7040 and be able to be adapted to your needs? The $100 fender isn't too outrageous, but the rest is, IMO.

They are currently available for the 7060 but again at nearly 1,000 which is about normal compared to other brands. We did sell several sets of fenders only that people have mounted to the loader frame for your type of work. They do not turn with the wheels but catch the bulk of crap.

At least you have a cab. *I* catch the crap with ROPS

$1000 is a chunk of change. What are the ones like that attach to the loader frame?? Thanks

Haha, sorry, I just hate the salt on the tractor

Hey I think you owe us a picture:laughing:
didn't you ask a while ago about raod speeds in your search for a new tractor?

I do owe some pics I guess. That was me asking about road speed as well. Lets see if they will work.

couple more.

Here in Quebec highway code requires fenders on all vehicles so most tractors have front fenders, especially the snow contractors have them.
I know for a fact that there exists a local firm that fabricates universal fenders and kits for tractors so perhaps you could try to contact a Canadian (Quebec) tractor distributor.

Since the orig post I was near a fender equipped tractor and looked over the fenders hoping to find a maker identification but with no success. Sorry.

Hey thanks for looking! I will continue the hunt for something that is affordable. Thanks

I totally understand the need if you road your tractor. In my country they salt the roads in Winter. I'd not want to throw that all over my tractor either.

If you have the patience start Google searching and you should be able to find a supplier of fenders. You may have to buy fenders to fit your tire size and then build brackets to mount them. In my case,,,, I'd much prefer plastic. Much more durable than tin/metal.

Let us know if you find some.

Not sure if you are a fabricator but here's a good thread on building a pair.

Thanks for the link. I think the lack of snow has caused me to lose motivation but I have found some universal fenders that would require some fabrication. Still keeping my eyes open if anyone has other information. Thanks Matt
