Tractor forestry guarding fitting


Recommended Posts

We will soon be purchasing a tractor for woodland work. Prob a tidy low hours ag valtra which we will have guarded for forestry. Can anyone recommend any firms in the hants Dorset, wilts area that could carry out the conversion? I appreciate that most agri engineers could knock up some guarding but would be handy to know of any that have previous for this kind of thing.

Another vote for AT Osborne.

 

They cut out holes for the tractor lights and then put some margard there to protect them. It means when you drive down the road your headlights are stripey (or mostly reflected back) by 1/2" steel bars.

 

 

Wilsons also do a good guarding set up. I expect they could send it on a pallet

or two for you to fit yourself.

 

Guarding isn't cheap. Especially if you have a belly plate which is the majority of the cost.

Thanks for the replies, ive spoken to c j cox their price seems good and they know what theyre talking about too. Hope to get a good deal out of them if they supply the tractor too.

 

A friend of mine ,les bought a tractor from them and had it guarded prior to collection, he is very happy with it. I have had them service our 6400 and found them a good company to deal with. Good luck . Nick
