You know how lineman are, we are always thinking of a use for everything at the house.

Very nice looking guard. I can't help but think that adding some mesh or expanded metal would help prevent small sticks from penetrating your radiator if you will be using your machine in the brush.

Without a doubt, I had some expanded metal but I have been looking for something heavier, so I plan on adding to this work in progress in the future.

How about some louver's ?
2" x 3/8 flat bar angled upwards to deflect low sticks away.
Should take a pretty good whack to bend while adding some weight for you.

Very nicely done Sir. I would search out some Stainless Steel mesh and attach it on the outside of that bumper to prevent small branches from damaging that pricey rad. Check out Gravel pits as a supply. They use those screens for Classifying stone. You could also purchase Perforated Stainless for protection.

There are many ways to do things....
