Protective Screen Protects Tractor Driver

Protective Screen Protects Tractor Driver TRACTORS Cabs 24-6-8 Don Cranfil, Hillsboro, Ill., does a lot of mowing at speeds up to 10 mph with this 7-wheel rotary mower. That sends a lot of clippings into the air, along with other objects that might get in the way of the mower. To protect himself, Cranfil crafted a heavy-weight screen made of expanded diamond cut steel of the kind used largely for catwalks. To hold the screen in place, he built a frame of 1-in. square metal. The screen bolts to the fender. An angle brace gives it extra support.
