Forestry tractor modifications

Reviving an old thread because there is some good info here, plus I have some updates.
I added guards to my directional/flashers last year after I knocked them off a couple of times:


 


 

Over the holiday break I built some guards for my taillights as well (since I broke one of them...  : )

I think I said it before. Those things should be outlawed. Or as soon as you get the tractor,go around with a hammer and break them all off. That way you won't be knocking them things off.  ;D Headlights I need,but not a blinker.

I hear ya Ray, but to access part of my woodlot I need to get in from another road. I also do hay on fields other than my own. Road driving with the tractor kind of requires it...

 I bought some magnetic blinker lights for the rear of the tractor after knocking off the ones that came with it  :( .Soon as I'm off the main rd their off and put in the pickup  ;D .

I know about the blinker thing when I needed. I have roaded mine a few times,glad I don't have to now. In my case I would have to have ½ steel around mine. I have a blinker/tail light now that is just about hanging. I somehow got it behind a 4 inch maple. I cut it down to prevent any more damage.

The blinker or the maple :D

One was all ready taken care of. No further use of a hammer is needed.  :    :D

A lot of the off-roaders use hog panel sheets.. cutter board material..  light weight and you can form it w/ heat.  The rock crawlers like it cause it slides good.. tuff stuff.
