PTO guards - total guard from spaldings

[Johno1]

Does anyone have experience of the Total Guard for pto's? It is supplied by spaldings. It is much more expensive than the traditional pto guard's.

Looks good but no prices. Do you know how much?

Good pieces of kit, does what is says on the tin. Used them for the last 16 years+ with no probs.

I have been quoted 250euro including delivery to Ireland for a 2 metre cover. Male and female parts are 6euro's. I have not got a price for the splicing kit, which I am sure will need to be purchased.

 

Other forum sites say that the product they had over 10 years ago was very good and durable but that the newer product is prone to disintegration very quickly.

 

Luckily, I recalled a local contractor who used the total guard. He is no longer contracting so he is letting me have 2 second hand guards (they are the older types and are in v.g.c) plus male and female parts for 50euro. Happy days.

 

Is there much modifications required to the tractor or implement? Should I go for the bolt on or weld on female parts?
