Man I need front fenders

[Cougsfan]

With all due respect, Hay Dude, I think you are making this more difficult than it is. If you don't want metal, then go and buy some plastic sheet. Most fab shops I know won't go crazy if you ask them to deal with a little plastic.

Why?
I'm just tapping into TBN members vast knowledge of ideas and resources. I have no intention of "fabbing" the fenders. Im more looking for resources on buying them (and rear fender extensions) from sources other than dealers, who charge a lot.

Forgive me if I already asked this question, because every time I see the thread title, I remember the picture. AND I keep wondering...

Why did you wash the tractor before taking the picture?

lol

You win the post of the day.

Our Canadian neighbors up north can get fenders on the L40 and L60 series tractors, but I was not able to find a way to actually buy them. Apparently there is an "Arctic" tractor version that comes with fenders, but it may also be a Canadian or dealer specific thing. It's been a few years since I looked into it though.

I don't get too far when I think about fabricating my own steering fenders... Looks like a lot of work. I may mount large mud flaps to the frame since most of my issue is roading the tractor while plowing in the winter (straight run driving at speed).

Not any longer. Paul Short gave me his dealer contact info and the sales manager responded to me and said the front fenders were no longer available for the L60’s. He said customers were having problems and they were getting torn up.

Huckabones did a short video of a limited edition winter Kubota and it had FF on it. If I remember right he said the FF shouldn’t be used for field work or rough terrain. I’d be ok with that. Put them on in winter to keep salt off tractor and remove them in warmer weather.

Those look fixed. helpful for sure, but would prefer steerable

Could you use tire dip tanks such as these cut down?

Good idea! Cut in half to make a pair!

Steerable front fenders are expensive. They may be plastic but they are quite durable.
Also on many tractors they will reduce your turning angle considerable.
Then if you add a loader into the equation it gets even tighter and becomes a tossup,
do you want maneuverability or mud and slop protection.
