Reasonably Priced brush guard for L series and MX on Amazon

[nwjones18]

Figured I'd post this since I installed mine today and was impressed with fit/finish. Been wanting a brush guard for my L4701 for a while and had a lot of grapple work coming up, but I didn't want to spend $300. Found this one on Amazon and gave it a shot even though it only had a few reviews. My experience was similar to the reviews on there. Fit well and was an easy install. Only had to drill 2 holes for the top two screws. Worth a look if you've been wanting a brush guard.

Something is better than nothing though, Otherwise you'll end up like me.

Looks like that was a rough day for yours... Just going off looks I think that one would fit your Grand L as well.

@BBFarmer , those are badges of honor!

Not to worry... Gives you solid farm cred.

Wow....thats a pretty nice find.

Hard to beat a $112 for a grill guard.

Although I am sure it is made with 100% Chinese'ium, that's better than a hole in the grill/radiator.

It's better than a 'stick in the eye'.

They don't make them for my little LX.

But at that price I couldn't DIY one cheaper.

NorthwoodsLif, I built my grill guard for $12 in material with two pieces of "drops" from my favorite shop. I had to weld an angle in the center to attach to two pieces together. The punch plate was hard to locate but he had some left over. I thought the holes were too small but they work out real good. No limbs get through, but I put an LED light on top for night work. Attached to factory guard with two "J' bolts I made and put rubber on the hooks so nothing gets scratched and comes off easily if need be.

Get a seat cover while you're protecting your tractor.

That's a nice upgrade and great price.

Well this definitely wasn't made of aluminum.. I didn't measure the thickness, but seemed heavy enough to do the job.

For the sake of if all... maybe put a magnet on it and see if it is ferrous.

Definitely ferrous has a strong attraction to a magnet. Appears to be 10ga thickness.

Thanks for sharing this. I've got several holes and I think the cost has subconsciously made me kick the can down the road...

That is a great find even if it's "okay" steel it's really thick for the price. I'd think this is a low introduction price and as positive reviews come in the price will increase quickly.

I think you may be correct. There are very similar looking ones around at the $200 price point. I like that this one has a lower section that also protects from things coming up from underneath. It looks to me like they copied this one from Broken Anvil:

Kubota L2501/ L3301/ L3901/ L4701/ MX4800/ MX4900/ MX5200/ MX5400/ MX5800/ MX6000 Brush Guard Insert (LA525/765/1065 Loaders) – Broken Anvil Metalworks

I couldn't agree more.

That price wont last for long.

...or the radiator.

Thanks again for the heads up. I probably would have fab'd something before paying $300ish.

I was overdue as you can see. Now nobody will know...except half the internet...

Should definitely be a standard part of all grill guards from factory.
