Has anyone come up with some type of guard to protect the hood from rocks falling off of the loader and bouncing off the hood?

Theres a member on here Wildfire, he built a spill guard on his buck so nothing will spill out the bucket and trash the hood.
Matter of fact here a picture of his bucket spill guard.

Having something come off the bucket and fall on the hood or even go through the windshield can happen very easy. I remember back in the day when I was operating a Cat 966c loader and a lump of snow came off the top of the bucket and took my windshield out. The bucket was up high because we were trucking snow and I was loading Mack trucks. My arms were cut up pretty bad.
After that happened we decided to put a material spill guards on all our buckets and it paid off.
Here is a thread I posted on the mod I did on my new snow bucket. I've also done it on my regular bucket that Eric posted a link to. Hope it gives someone an idea or two. It's worth doing.
