First Damage to New Tractor

[LBrown59]

Metal mesh would work.

*I prefer expanded metal screen like I use as a safety shield on my ROPS.

I don't think this would work very good with a BH mounted on the tractor.

LBROWN59,
I use the BX1500 to mow the grass as the turf tires are better suited than the industrial on the L3240 and the 54" deck works like a charm. I use it to keep the fields mowed as well after I use a heavy cutter to take the grass and weeds down to a level the mower can handle. I will spray the weeds this spring, this is the first spring we have had the property. SWMBO also likes the BX1500 to pull the garden cart and I use it to pull the trailer to move brush and other items. The BX1500 is a great all around tractor to do small jobs around the farm and it fits where the L3240 won't for landscaping around the house.

1*Yep the BX1500s are really nice.
I looked at the X700s before buying the 2 BX1500s but felt the BX1500 was more bang for the buck in my situation and was the best way for me to acomplish my goal.

My neighbor keeps threatening to steal my BX1500 and paint it green I really like the versatility of this small but powerful tractor. I used it to pull over many a dead tree here on this place (Using the safe pull method mentioned by so many here on this site). I have been wearing out the bucket on the new L3240 moving wood, brush, dirt, gravel, I guess I will keep going until I get tired of playing with it

He sure knows how to ruin a fantastic tractor.
Don't let him near it!

That looks great Red, I wll try and make somethng like that, how did you attach it to the grill guard?

My first damage was to my handrails of my front steps. Was digging pile of snow from in front of the steps that falls off the roof and thought I was past the ends of the rails. When I curled the bucket up and raised the handrails came up first. Wife not happy, really not happy when I did it again to the other side after checking damage to the first one. She says I need to take a tractor awareness class!

jeez....you are like me doing finesse work around the house with a tractor. I have ripped up my side deck as well as removed 2x6's off the bottom steps on the other side of the house. The bigger the tractor the faster and more extensive the damage

Metal mesh would work.

I prefer expanded metal screen like I use as a safety shield on my ROPS.

It's stouter than fine-mesh metal screening. If the holes are too large you can use two pieces of expanded metal back-to-back with an offset to make the hole openings smaller.

Flusher-where do you buy expanded metal screen? I need some of that for my ROPs and front grill....and maybe a few other spts on my B7800 as well.
