JD stainless steel mirror guards

I’ve always had guards to protect the mirrors from branches or debris but the last ones I got for a 6145R and 155R are really to big or at least I think they are. Have any of you found mirror protectors that look right and do the job. New JD,s arriving in new year and don’t want the same style on again. Tia.

I’m not on Facebook so I guess that not an option. This is what I have now but they go in with the tractors. My new tractor’s will come with protectors but I need to select them. I’m tired of the chrome so Can u get them in Greene with the bling lights?

There's a website ^^^^

Or just give Tom a ring (mobile number in contact section of website)

Shiny stainless, matt black, blingy lights; he'll have what you want, they'll be the right shape to fit your mirrors, and there won't be nasty pop rivets poking out everywhere

These are mine

Dragging up an old thread to ask where you got that lot from, the mirror guards you’ve already covered but where did you get the light bars, are the lights on top of the light bar mounted to the light bar or separately and those mirror arm lights, never seen them before

Blue V mirror guards are from Tom at agriguards. Horizontals above mirrors are aluminium angle that I put there as part of the bracing that stops the arms shaking. Stuck in some leds, coz I could

Green marker bar is home made. It hides the mounting rail I made for the top Utv Products supplied lightbar and work lamps

Front amber V strobes are from lightbar UK, and quad flash pattern is timed with the roof led beacons (switched off in the picture)

There's also led ribbon tape round the bonnet and roof. Though just a bit of "temporary extra" decoration for the Christmas tractor run, the self adhesive tape is proving remarkably resilient 🙈

Edit
And the air horns are hadleys bought from Kuda

They're LOUD

Are mirror guards not illegal? There is something in the back of my mind that the plastic is designed to shatter if it hits an object. Admittedly it would need to be an extremely tall person to get clobbered by a tractor mirror but still....

Life would be a bloody boring pastime if you obeyed all the stupid pointless pedantry peddled by the pillocks in power

That might make sense for cars, pickups and the like where mirrors are at pedestrian height. Not so much for tractors and lorries where the mirrors are much higher, indeed there are plenty of lorries on the road with mirror guards.
I’m looking at fitting them to my tractors, I’ve already bashed one mirror on a hedge at the sewage works just up the road. The hedge is tight to the road and hasn’t been brushed the last two years, it’s a semi narrow B road so any large vehicle such as a tractor or lorry needs to be over the white line to avoid bashing their mirrors, not so bad for cars as the council do one swipe up the bottom when verge mowing as there isn’t a grass verge there.
It’s only about 300 yards it it’s a piece of road I don’t like meeting anything on be it in the tractor or coming the other way in the car with a large vehicle coming the other way as I know the overgrown hedge forces them over
