I've spent a lot of time on the highway lately and I've noticed lots of the newer tractors have big mothering push bars on them. WTF are they going to push way the hell up there?
These are nice looking rigs. They don't look like anyone has off-roaded them through the trees or bush. What do they need a bush bar for?

I think the ones you are talikng about are made of 3/8 aluminum and a guarenteed for three hits..IE ...3 deer and if you sustain any body damage ..they will pay for the front end damage!

They're probably designed to cleanly extract a pot roast on impact. :idea:

I believe they use those for all the deer od possibly a moose. Now that would screw a truck up.

It's probably where the Push Bars are made too. :D
There's a market somewhere for everything.

one of the truckers who delivers wood to us has one, it had some furry black/red crap all over it, I asked him what happened, He hit a deer the night before, Said the grill guard paid for itself right then and there :)

Yup, deer catchers, I hit a deer at 70mph with my KW T-600 and did $6000 in damage, I had to put a new Hood, fender, bumper winsheild, side faring and steps the hood surports and many other little things that got bent, :mad: BUT I got his 8 point rack on my wall. :D

They work good on Deer, probably even better on Rhinos now that everyone is hot to get their overgrown golf carts street legal. I wonder if you'd even feel it as you went over them?

They were originally in Australia and they were called "Roo bars" designed for kangaroo collisions.
