You often see them in Europe on larger tractors. Of course you also see larger tractors running down the 4 lane road. You got to love it.

I have seen fenders on some CUTs, they were Euro and Chinese machines.
At the speeds tractors run, mud flinging isn't really sumpin to worry about. If you leave a muddy drive and head for the highway in high range, well, it will only take about 30 feet to clean your tires and 30 seconds to clean your eyes.
Just another sumpin to break off and run over with the rotary cutter, tiller, disk, haybine, mower, etc.

You can get front fenders on the Utility size tractors and larger. Compacts are the only line that don't have them as a regular option. Running cabbed tractors you want the fenders, otherwise all that mud that flings off in the first 30 feet ends up on your windshield so you can't see anything.

<font color="blue"> Amazing about how many people wash and wax their tractors and do not complain about no front fenders on the 4WD ones. </font>
Yes it is. My last tractor, a Massey 1250 was made for fenders. It had threaded holes for them. I don't know if my MF 1440 does or not, I'll have to look.
