One of these suitable Bumper for 856?

[FLtractor 215]

Evening, 

 

Wondering if anyone has added one of these to 856 or similar wheelhorse without significant modifications.. or perhaps a curved bumper similar to ford N series with ball on front.

It looks like any of them will interfere with removal of the hood....

None of them are suitable for a wheel horse, they are too wide and as bill already mentioned they would get in the way of opening the hood unless you mounted them a couple feet out front.

You need to get off Facebook and get out there in the shop workin' on whatcha already got.

Why?

 

Why is this something that you think you want or need?

I second this.

Are you planning to enter a demolition derby? If Wheel Horse didn't offer a bumper as an option, you don't need it.

This reminds me of when my wife bought a brand new tiller from Troy Built back when it was still Troy Built. They offered a free bumper! I'm thinking what good is a bumper on a tiller? Well my wife ran the tiller into the garage wall. The bumper bent and saved the recoil!

Actually, the number of banged up, bent, mangled  hoods I've seen in person or on this site would indicate a strong need for bumpers for many / most tractors and their operators...
