Mirror Guards Save On Expensive Repairs
 |
The shiny guards are made of 430-grade stainless steel and are unique to each tractor model and brand, including Claas, Fendt, John Deere, and Valtra.
“New tractor mirrors are electrically heated and adjustable, so quite expensive,” says Sparex European Product Manager Sam Green. “They can break easily from impacts with trees and branches in the field or while driving down the roads.”
The protective guards are sold in pairs and are mounted to a tractor’s existing mirror arms using a specially-designed bracket and clamps. They’re manually adjustable and protect the rear of the mirror, allowing the operator an unrestricted view of the glass.
“Another, more unusual reason farmers like our guards is because there’s kind of a ‘pimp my ride’ obsession happening today, especially among the younger generation,” Green says. “These farmers spend a lot of money on their tractors and a lot of time in them, so they’re proud that they’re shiny and look nice.”
The mirror guards are currently available in Ireland and parts of Europe but will soon be available in North America.
Green recommends that interested customers contact the U.S. and Canadian dealers, found on the website, for availability and pricing.
