Does anyone make these in the Uk?

Later than expected but here are the new bits :





Log grapple and rear bull bars. The bars are pretty heavyweight (50kg I'd estimate) and should give the radiator a lot of protection for vegetation work. Extra weight on the rear on never a bad thing.

I have a plexiglass screen too but it looks crappy. Not sure I am going to bother fitting it.

Liking the rear guard! I’m guessing you don’t use additional back weights of tow hitch? Shouldn’t be too difficult to fab if needed!

Tow hitch hasn't been required so far and I'm not sure it's likely to come up. Rear weights would be useful but I prefer the protection aspect of this. How heavy are the rear weights on a 7.3? As you said it might be possible to fab up a simp,e hitch and add some more weight to the rear.

2 of the 4 side bolts are still unused each side. With some welding I could make a basic weight carrier. Perhaps a 30kg weight either side would help.

Smart front end & even smarter back end, looks impressive , Have you tried ballasting the back wheels for additional rear end weight ? , it will add weight to the rear of the machine without un-balancing things by making the front end lighter, any tyre company would be happy to do this well you wait.

I'll look into that. Presumably filled with an antifreeze/water mix. Is there a special valve for this.
