Can anyone tell me if I attach a front brush guard to the roll cage on a 2000 max 4 will it sag the plastic and if so, does anyone know how long it takes to mess it up. We could make it removeable and use it only when we're working. The front brush guard is one off one of the old work trucks, maybe 75-85 lbs. We would rather leave it on and yes we do work some in the summer. But it would usually be off because we're just spraying and planting millet in the summer.

I have 94 Max IV I built a cargo rack and a winch mount for the front I was tying the machine down to the trailer across the body in front of the engine cover the machine moved a lot on the trailer so I started tying down in the front off of the cargo rack after about a month this caused the body to sag I straightened the body up by anchoring the front axles down and jacking the body up this straightened up pretty good I noticed that other machines without roll cages seemed to sag towards the front so I bolted 2 pieces of 1 1/2" x 2" angle on each side to support the body just like roll cage attaches I am in the process of putting new axles, bearings etc in mine right now so it is still on the jack stands so I don't know how the machine sits yet I would say if you leave your roll cage on that the the body would probably not sag this is just my opinion there may be someone else on here that would have better input on this

Thanks for the imput we decided since the machine is mainly used for work we made the 1.5 x 2 inch steel wrap around the front and called that good enough. We figured it's less things to break and less places for reeds to get tangled up in. But thank you for sharing.Comment
