Hood Guards
Brush guard
The brush guard is designed for operators who require added protection against debris from damaging the expensive-to-replace front grille or lights.
NOTE: Not compatible with front hitch.
Hood guard on 5E Tractor
The basic functions of the hood guard are:
- Help protect the tractor's grille and hood from falling debris or stationary objects, such as a wagon or mixer, while loading
- Allow for lighting at night
- Typically can be used with or without the tractor's front weight bracket but not with the actual front weights while using the loader
- Cannot be used with a front hitch
It is recommended to purchase a front weight bracket when using a loader. The hood guard is designed to be slightly rearward of the front weight. This is so that the front weight is the first point of contact against lower stationary objects.
Hood guard on 5303 Tractor
The hood guard is highly recommended for 5103, 5203, 5303, 5105, 5205, 5200, 5210, 5220, 5300, 5400, 5400N, 5403, 5310, 5310N, 5320, and 5320N Tractors. The basic function is to:
-
Help protect the tractor grille and hood from falling debris or stationary objects such as a wagon or mixer
-
Allow for lighting at night
-
Can be used with or without the tractor front weight bracket but not with the actual front weights while using the loader (this would overload the front axle)
-
Cannot be used with a front hitch
It is highly recommended to purchase a front weight bracket when using a loader. The hood guard is designed to be slightly rearward of the front weight. This is so the front weight is the first point of contact against lower stationary objects.
