Homestead Implements Brush Guard for Kubota MX5400

[@HODGEPODGEDODGEGARAGE]

Looks great Wendell 😁👍

[@tractorman4461]

Thanks Zane, easy to install too. I was surprised at the hardness of the Kubota guard.

[@gatorsworld]

That’s a nice gift. What you deserve always comes back to you…..one way or another, so now you have good protection for your nice shiny tractor….CHEERS

[@tractorman4461]

Its almost sacrilegious for me to have something this nice Gator. We'll see how long it stays looking this good....I'm pretty rough on stuff for some reason. Have a great evening mon ami.

[@mikeheilman2560]

What a wonderful addition to your tractor Wendell, very thoughtful of your buddy. Take care and stay safe. Tell the Misses we send greetings.

[@tractorman4461]

I just yelled down the hall that you guys said howdy. We are wishing the best for you two as well !!

[@akquilter3519]

That certainly was a pleasant surprise for you! Very nice addition to dress up the new tractor.

[@tractorman4461]

Hahahaha...yessir, it sure was nice of them as well as a great surprise !!

[@Tony2tall]

Excellent workmanship 👍 🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻

[@tractorman4461]

With today's CNC plasma or water jet tables, its amazing how high the quality is of metal components can be nowadays. Thanks Tony for the visit today.

[@arkansas1336]

Nice having friends like that!

[@tractorman4461]

Yessir, I agree. Thanks for watching.

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

That Kubota sure beats an N series Ford with a trip bucket!

[@tractorman4461]

Oh man, you better believe it Matt. All we had was a narrow front Massey Harris 44 with a farm loader on it. No power steering, nothing but muscle to turn it.

[@treepop1550]

I've got kubota loader tractor envy- it's a real affliction !!!

[@tractorman4461]

Hahahaha...I did too for many years. I feel for ya. LOL

[@ricksmith-iw2op]

Looks good Wendell. Nice job

[@tractorman4461]

Thanks Rick for the visit my friend. I agree, it looks as good as it fits !!

[@bobjanozeski3927]

Hi Wendel I agree older tracrors have metal grills are fairly hard to ding up . The plastics /fiberglass crack when you make the wrong move. The Dealers are always happy when you need a newone .Have a nice Labour Day you deserve it Cheers

[@tractorman4461]

My goal is to minimize the out of pocket expenses for new plastics Bob.... (-: Hopefully this will keep the brush out of the damage zone.

[@leonardryan8723]

Wendell it look 👀 good 👍 beautiful job for the kubota 😊

[@tractorman4461]

Thank you Leonard for watching and yes, I gotta admit it does look pretty good.

[@Wheelloader__]

Looks pretty cool T man. 🚜

[@tractorman4461]

Heck yeah man, I ain't stopped smiling yet !! LOL

[@tomfillmore9710]

Nice gift buddy and looks great take care

[@tractorman4461]

Good afternoon Tom. Fit in there like a glove. I didn't even have to clamp it, but I didn't want it to slip while drilling. Thanks for watching another one.

[@BigelowWoodcraft]

That looks really nice and most definitely will do the job. Very clean looking. I have a set of those handy punches from my old tool and die days.

[@tractorman4461]

Yes, I saw you using them the other day to transfer locations to the Frontier frame for the dc motor mount. They are a 'must have' in my shop. I'm sure yours too.

[@RCAFpolarexpress]

Bonsoir Mon Ami, that is a very nice brush guard !!! Yes Old Tractor are also rusty too : ) Very Sexy Orange Grill For Sure !!! Be Well Sir and no do try to push some bushes 👍😇👌Cheers 🍻

[@tractorman4461]

Yessir its nice to look at a shiny one for a change so I'm trying to keep it that way for at least a little while Dave. LOL

[@1lilfarm]

Homestead Implements makes some pretty nice equipment (right here int the USA!). I have one of their grader boxes. That guard looks good on there. Homestead will paint the equipment pieces to match almost any tractor too! 👍👍👍

[@tractorman4461]

That's cool. I'm impressed with how snug it fit too. I figured they'd match colors for different brands.

[@garrybunting7231]

Nice

[@tractorman4461]

Thanks for stopping by today Garry. Yes, it IS quite the nice addition.

[@ericrice6748]

Very nice there Sir, I need to get one for my RK 37!!!

[@tractorman4461]

Apparently they make them to fit the machine you have Eric. The paint is a little off, but what the heck that's not a show stopper is it.

[@rickburris6164]

I was thinking about how careful you were not to scratch a work tractor but then again how many brand new tractors have you ever had? Another great video Wendell

[@tractorman4461]

Its always the first scratch or dent in something new that determines its path for the future !! It's not going to take long to get this thing looking like its been doing something Rick.

[@treepop1550]

Next video : tractorman 44 is gifted a heated steering wheel kit and a power memory seat( heated) for those cold winter snowstorms !! Jk, but you would certainly deserve it !!

[@tractorman4461]

Slick as can be isn't it. I'm tickled to death with it. Have a great day my friend.

[@clarencetrice4442]

HEY 😊😊 that's a tractor 🚜 😊 not a timberjack skidder they are geared much lower and used 4 pulling trees 😊😊 OMG 8 28 2O24

[@tractorman4461]

A cousin ran a skidder for a number of years a while back. He enjoyed it for sure. I've not had the pleasure myself Clarence.

[@thecollectoronthecorner7061]

Old tractorsare better . Thts similar to my take. if your vechileis already dented you dont worry about new dents. Same with my clothes if they are already torn or impregnated with grease stainsI font have to worry about them. I likely would have just positioned that grill and welded it on. Too much hassle drilling precison mounting holes

[@mdh7812]

I think having bolted on would make it easier to repair if it gets pushed in by something. Unbolt it and flatten it out and reinstall it.

[@thecollectoronthecorner7061]

@@mdh7812 Yes that would be better, one time I was a mechanic on a road construction job. everything they had was old antique worn out junk stuff bought at auction., The belly pan on a dozer was so bent and warped that only a few bolts where holding it on.. It came off and I jacket it up in place. and was welding it on. The company owner and his brother came by. and the brother asked what are you going to do if you need to take that off to change a hose or something.? I replied that what my cutting torch is for. The owner was a really nice guy. said he is the best mechanic all he has is a big hammer pipe wrench and vice grips and torch and welder. If he cant get some thing of with that hammer and vice grips. He torches it apart and welds it back together!

[@tractorman4461]

I agree about not having to worry about the old tractors in the woods, but all things considered, I think bolting is the best way to go on a new tractor. If I welded it I'd be forced to buff and paint the welded areas. LOL

[@tractorman4461]

@@mdh7812 Hahahaha...like I told Randall above, if I was to weld it, I'd be forced to buff and paint it. And that's something I'm almost allergic to. (-; Besides, that may have disappointed the cool dude that gave it to me.
