I'm surprised that no one has commented here. Seems like building a cab would be pretty common for protection from the elements or limbs / brush, etc.

I did find a homemade cab thread on this form. Maybe a google search for "cabs" instead of "cage" would be more helpful.
I also saw some examples where there were two steel bars going from the front of the hood to the top of the cab. This would ramp limbs up and over the cab as you drive forward. I've seen similar set ups on Camel Trophy trucks.

The two bars are called "sweeps". I've seen them on log skidder that had the exhaust plumbed into the bottom side and then exit at the rear of the cage.
