Tractor Armor: Kubota LA805 & LA1055 Brush Guard Insert Installation
Overview
An owner documenting his step-by-step installation of a Messick's brush guard insert on a new Kubota L4060, motivated by destroying a previous Kubota's radiator with a branch. The video walks through removing hinge bolts, clamping and drilling the two mounting holes, dealing with fit gaps using washers, priming bare steel, and testing the tilt function. Most useful for anyone attempting the same install with no included instructions.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on experience from their own property, with a clear practical bias toward protecting a working tractor from real-world abuse.
