New Holland T7 rear mudguard extensions?

[ColinV6]

I've done a Google and can't seem to find anything, the mudguard has quite a short overhang on the rear and is insistent on covering itsself and particularly whatever your pulling behind in soil and crap whenever you leave the field.


The T7HD models have Huge mudguards that go along way down the back, and I've seen some one a JD155R that covered a lot
Of the tyre as well.

Or should I just keep the pressure washer fired up regularly

This is the kind of thing I'd like... I know that's a larger John Deere but the mudguard comes a fair way down the back

You get different width mudguard extensions. Speak to your dealer, we fitted wider ones on our t7050. They are only held on by those stupid clips and fall off if a big weight of mud hanging on them.

I have seen a 3pl frame made up that carry lorry mudflaps behind the tractor wheels almost to the ground for maize and slurry haulage

This sounds ideal... Was it a home made job?

There’s been a couple of pics posted here of home made ones.

Yes. I think there are some pictures with a Massey with similar on medland Sander's and twose Facebook page around June.

Had a bit of time this afternoon so started on my mud flaps project. Got the main square frame finished, just need to weld the support bars on now to mount the actual flaps to.

Everything will be primed and painted once I've finalised it all.

Don't worry about my welds, I adopt a strength over neatness approach

@CharlieM made some nice ones for his Fendt. Not sure if he hangs about here anymore. I keep meaning to make some for the sprayer tractor, they could bolt straight on to the lower links and stay with the sprayer.

The 2 or 3 people that have seen what I've been doing today have mainly looked at me as if I've got 2 heads when I explain I'm making mud flaps to keep the tanker clean


I just hate things being unnecessarily dirty!

Been on my project list since I saw the one Charlie M put on here. Looking good so far Keep the updates coming[emoji106]

Will do, hope to have the metalwork side of things finished on Monday, just need to decide weather to have one cross bar and hang the flaps off that, or to have 2 cross bars and bolt them on further down too.

Want them to remain quite flexible though incase they get caught between the tyre and drawbar on a tighter turn...

Frame is finished..... It's definately strong.

Painting it up tomorrow and source some decent rubber somewhere.

Won't a cubicle mat do the job?

Looks good but how are you going to hitch the trailer on without fouling the drawbar?

Just found this picture of Charlie's set up.

I'm hoping it will clear without issue as that's the lift arms set in their highest position, however, if the worst case scenario occurs it's a 20 second job to place this on after the tanker/trailer

Wow! That is extremely neat!! Looks like what I imagine a proper fendt accessory would look like!

His frame looks very minimal compared to mine

 

[ColinV6]

So I got them finished up. Pleased with how they turned out
