Everytime I see those brush guards I wonder what mine would look like with one.
Do they just attach to the standard bumper mounting bolts? My original bumper is relatively straight, could I use it or would I need a cucv bumper as well?
Unsure on that... im sure someone here knows

lol the tire price is pushing me away

They are pretty bald, lol. I know the fronts are probably in the neighborhood of $1500 each.

I had to take mine off when I put my snowplow on, and I am pretty sure it would work with the stock bumper. I think the only difference in the CUCV bumper and stock are the blackout light and tow hook cutouts.

I won't be at my shop anytine soon, but I can look at it the next time I am there if you want.

Yeah if you wouldn't mind. Think you're right, they attach using the regular mounting holes. Not sure if longer bolts would be necessary. Don't think I've ever seen a brush guard that wasn't on a cucv bumper or at least a plain painted bumper.
Found this backside pic of a bumper with a guard for reference. Guy already sold it though.

I know this is a gm form thats why I didnt make a new thread for this lol. Im really tempted to go check this out. Seems like a good deal but ive never had more then a lawn mower. I dont need it but it sure would be handy for yard stuff. Thoughts?

@bucket maybe? Anyone else?

Since it's an industrial version, it's probably missing many features that an agricultural tractor would have. There doesn't seem to be any hydraulic remotes at the rear, not sure there's even a rear PTO.
