dadohead - that is a great guard. Some of us, me included, just don't have the imagination nor skill set. Fortunately - I have a welding shop local.

That's very kind of you... but I do what every other designer does: steal good design and use it in my application! If you see something you like... heist it!

Bet that chain rattle like a banshee when moving tractor around....

No chain rattle at all, whether I'm on the road or woods trail.

I had a local fabricator friend make this for me. It was from stock he had lying around left over form another project. I'm thinking he must have been watching some of the Mad Max movies before he made it.

WoW - John. Your friend went all the way for you. Mad Max - yes. Those two upper tubes go all the way back to the roll bar - ??

Yes, the two upper tubes are "limb risers" - they push the limbs up and over, rather than slapping me in the face. Once I got them, I know I'll never have a tractor used in the woods without them.

I get "limb slap" plus a lap full of snow when I plow my driveway. The young pines bend in onto the driveway from the weight of the snow.

Once or twice can be refreshing. But a mile of it going in and again going out. Gets to be a little much. I can eliminate most by raising and opening the grapple.
