The "grille guard" that came with the loader on my new B2650 is a joke. It might help if something fell straight down off the loader, but not much, and any sticks/twigs/brush would go through it at will. I learned my lesson on that with my old JD, and it's an expensive lesson to learn.
So I while I was in town this morning I bought a couple of sticks of 1/4" rod and a small sheet of expanded metal.
The rod was heated and bent to fit inside the framework of the guard and then the expanded metal was trimmed to fit the outline of the rod and tacked to the rod.
Then the rod-framed expanded metal was welded inside the guard frame.
All the fab is done, now just need to prime, mask and re-paint.
