Nice job!

Is that a home made brush guard, or did you modify a Kubota guard?
What is that you used for weight? It looks like some big lengths of bar stock. How much weight, do you think?

Actually, it looks like square tubing filled with concrete to me.

But looks really good, it does.

Yeah...I see the weld seam now. Looks like the square tube was used for a former.

That's it? I mean, that's all you have to say?

More pics and juke please?

Tell us more about this fine new looking accessory.

I'd like to see how it is attached.

I made it from 1/4" x 6" x 24" sq. stock. It is filled with concrete and comes in at 205 lbs. I can bolt & unbolt it from the tractor (2 bolts) in 10 minutes if need be. I use my floor jack which makes it easy to raise & lower it in position to mount. It really has helped the steering when I have the rotary cutter hooked up. I have about $25.00 invested and a few hrs. of work making it.

Nice job & nice tractor too

Mount that weight with some good HD bolts, if it comes loose ,
your mower will find it real quick

Thank you. I always enjoy pics.

With your skills, I'd darn sure add a 2" receiver type setup to the front of tractor and slide that baby in there, secure with a pin, and be done with it in about 10 seconds.
