    Just bought a Kioti CK2620SE. Your brush guard and build video is exactly what the doctor ordered. It's perfect. Thanks for posting.

    Awsome job! I will take him and his wife to dinner for him to make me one. Lol.... I just ordered a new NX5010 Cab this morning, and I've got to do the same thing to mine. I currently have an open station NX4510, and my grill is broken as we speak. My second tractor that got the grill destroyed grappling brush. On my current tractor with the busted grill, the brush guard is junk. Besides being open in front, it is SO weak. When I first noticed that I broke my grill, I opened the hood to inspect the damage to the hood. I noticed that the hood would not open because it was wedged against the brush guard. The guard itself was bent somewhere. Although it did not have a scratch on it anywhere. I was bent toward the grill, although you could not tell it by looking at it. I had to hook a comealong to the front bucket, and to the brush guard, and pull it back into position. It pulled the guard almost without any resistance at all. Took no effort to bend it back. So I need to build something like you have, but beef up the framework some too. Any ideas?

      Hi Marty!
      Sounds like you have a lot of experience with tractors and grill guards. I sold that tractor after 800 hours.
      On my second tractor, I went with the 5elevendesignz grill guard. They make a great product and they are good folks. Best wishes with your new tractor and grill guard.
      Take care!🚜🇺🇸

      😊👍 Hi Kevin! Thanks! I agree! We fully intended to paint it to match, but we ended up liking the contrast. The grill guard has definitely saved me when I’m moving brush! I appreciate you checking out the video! Take care!

    Buying a Kioti CK3510 right now and that looks like an excellent addition. He did an excellent job. If lighting becomes a problem just add an LED light bar on top of your rops -its easier and lots more light. You have an electrical plug in by the back rops.

    Great build I have the same tractor ck3510se. Looks like the only issues I see with it is it's going to block the already crappy headlights and 2 it's definitely got to be painted orange to match the tractor, at least that's my opinion other than that looks awesome

    • @tractorrookie
      @tractorrookie  3 роки тому

      😊👍 Hi Life in the 207! You are correct about the lights, if I ever branch out to night work I would need some auxiliary lighting. I actually fully intended to do a paint match, but I ended up liking the contrast. Thanks for checking out the video. Best of luck with your build. Take care!🇺🇸🚜🍺

  • @gofindyourself6568
    @gofindyourself6568 3 роки тому +1

    I'm going to try and fashion something quite similar myself - do you have any footage or videos on how to bend the frame and the grill so that they match the curve of the bars on the tractor?

    • @tractorrookie
      @tractorrookie  3 роки тому +1

      😎My buddy actually did the build and he is much more skilled than I am. I took my factory brush guard off and left it with him. I know he made cut outs in the angle iron so he could bend the radius. I hope that helps, unfortunately, I don’t keep the videos after they are edited. Good luck with your build!🍺🚜🇺🇸
