Front fenders

RyGuy24 · Apr 1, 2012

Well I was in town yesterday and checked out some aftermarket trailer fenders and there were none 14" or wider plus all of them were only light steel that definitely wouldn't take much of a beating. Maybe there's a reason the factory fenders cost 10x more then the trailer fenders

I just have to think some bright guy is selling those front fenders. The ones on our Landini look like the ones on a JD so both are buying them from someone else. Certainly someone is selling them aftermarket.

Most of the fwa tractors we've had all had dunlop fenders only the brackets were different a lot of guys made their own brackets and bought fenders direct !

Now we're getting somewhere. So where do you "buy direct"?

When I had my B3030, I found that a 24" ADS double wall culvert was the right size for a mold. Cut it to size, screwed an end on one side and went and got a lot of fiber glass supplies. I ended up making a couple of good looking fenders with threaded bungs made into the bottom so you didn't have bolts showing. Mounted I had a slight clearance issue to work out with the loader sub frame. Never got back to it. Traded the B3030 and BX2660 in on an L5740. Now I have to start all over. But I learned a lot on first go round. Maybe I'll get brave and try carbon fiber on the next go round.

How handy are you? You could shape a mould out of wood cover with saran wrap and layer fiberglass over top. Build up to your desired thickness, sand, drill holes for brackets and paint. And make a few extra to sell to TBN members...

Yikes !!!!!!!! $1000 for two plastic fenders. I would have 1/8" sheet metal bent and make brackets. Can't believe they would run more than a couple hundred. No big deal to paint tractor color and guaranteed to last as long as the plastic counterpart.

The fender kit for the Kubota Grand L's go for $660. Which includes all mounting brackets and plastic flexable fenders. I personally would rather the plastic flexable fenders because they require no maintenance, no painting, no rusting and no damage if you bend them in the snow.
