Impaled - Need Protection Need Brush Guard

Instead of bolting it on, you might want to use DZUS fasteners. 1/4 turn with a screwdriver or wrench and they pop off.

Good ol' DZUS fasteners! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
I had thousands of those on my old radar when I was in the US Navy. Only problem is I'm not familiar with a product of theirs that would work like a U-bolt to hold the diamond plate in place. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif I'm not sure exactly what you mean. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Common U-bolts

Is that a front bush hog on there? Rhino something or other?

Ralph, I think you are talking about TxDon's Rhino mower in the first picture. I believe he has it chained to his FEL bucket and is just moving it. He was using this photo as a simple way to show the configuration of his grill guard and how much room there is for limbs to puncture his grill.

Harv, Fire ants have eradicated the horned toads and the quail in the county but the gophers are hanging in there. I guess it’s because the gophers like the deep sand (like beach sand) which I have on about half of my land. The ant lions, which I have also have, like to make their inverted cone traps to trap ants in the sand and dine on them. I could poison the gophers like most people in the county but we are organic and I’ll just let the coyotes have fun digging them up. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Jinman, good idea about the u bolts, quick, no welding, don’t have to remove bumper etc… I can always weld it later when I get my own welding equipment. I sure envy Deerlope’s grill. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gifNaked Man (A.K.A. RalphVA), Jinman’s right, that was an old photo that showed the existing grill and was taken as I was unloading my new equipment with the FEL. That Rino is a 72” rear rotary mower ($1200 - $1400 and requires a tractor with 40hp).

Oops. Missed your "no weld" comment. But think of how nice it would be to pop a few fasteners and off you go /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
