Or use muffler clamps if you want to be able to remove it

Nice job on that.I felt the urge to do the same on my DK40 a while back.Although mine wouldn't give the level of stick protection that yours does.Here's a pic.
ps it does hinge away for battery access...Mike.

Northcreek,

That is an AWESOME grill protector.

Did you fab that yourself?

David, I did fab that up a few years ago.It's a little more beat up now...but,that's a good thing.
Here's another photo of it unlatched....Mike.

NorthCreek,

That is a beautiful grill guard sir.

I love the contours and angles.

Excellent craftsmanship. I hope I can weld 1/2 as well someday.

Have a great weekend!
David

Man, somebody has some serious CAD, CNC, welding and painting skills to say the least. The design is also great and the color scheme is just over the top. PIMP MY TRACTOR season 1 pilot is done! What next?

Hey you know what? I'm flattered and honorded by you kind comments so thanks for them. The ultimate compliment is when someone says I inspired them. That's so cool!
Nice idea on the expanded mesh. I've used it on many occasions and that will protect your tractor for sure. Thanks again!

Thanks David and Ed for the kind words....boy,CAD and CNC would have been nice but,it was more like cardboard and an angle grinder with many cut off wheels....I'm kind of "tarded" that way...Mike.

In that case I am doubly impressed with your design and fabrication skills. NICE!

That is an awesome design and to know now that you did that all with a grinding wheel.....WOW!!! I know how long it takes to cut and grind on this stuff now so I tip my Kioti hat to you!!!
