I've been living on the edge pushing and moving a lot of cedar trees on the new place. It's only a matter of time before I run one right through the radiator and have a bad day. Ordered this guard on-line from "Rusty Anvil Fabrication" fits like a glove and EZ install. Used the new hoist in the shop to lift it up and position for reinstall. With the hoist it made it a one man job. My first shop with a hoist and won't be the last. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2023/02/full-63244-381221-img_2857.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2023/02/full-63244-381222-img_2858.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2023/02/full-63244-381223-img_2861.jpg)

That I Beam and hoist are already coming in handy  As far as the trees go I’m shocked you hadn’t ran a limb through the radiator already so that was a solid purchase!!

That brush guard will come in very handy, only problem I see is your headlights being partially blocked out. So are you going to install a light bar on top of the brush guard for hunting hogs at night in the tractor?

Wow no hogs that is awesome, hope it stays that way and I was joking about hunting hogs on the tractor at night needing a light bar. Have not been on a tractor in long time, only used the lights a couple of times when I ran out of day light while working the food plot.

Yea, the hogs are 10 miles east of us in Boswell, but not here yet. Hope it stays that way.

Looks very nice, congrats. MX5200?
I'd be interested to know how it impacts engine cooling, if at all.

I'd be interested to know how it impacts engine cooling, if at all. Yes, MX 5200. I always clean the radiator fins by blowing them out with air/water and blow out my 2 air filters. When working I always have an eye on the dash watching gauges. I don't anticipate any cooling issue's but will keep you posted.

Did the same with an old Massey 35 that had the same type guard material on it.
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true Mainstream news might be fun to watch
