My buddy is looking for a heavy abuse front bumper for his M7. He thought Cat makes one for like $180.00. Anybody else make one? I tried search to no avail.

I found one I put on my last few M's... works great.




part number one in this fiche image.
Send me a PM if he's having a tough time finding one, I can help him source one, for a pretty good price.

He drives a Pete with a $2600.00 moose guard (in WI) to knock down 100# deer. Enough said?:canada:

no, not really.

So he WANTS to weigh down the front of his sled when he's not likely to hurt the stock bumper as is, AND, if you tie it well... you just increased the chance of destroying the bulkhead in the process instead of just cracking some cheap plastic.

Btw... I've seen moose back home in WI (unless he's in milwaukee or something!!!)...so it's POSSIBLE that he'll get use out of that monster!!!

That plastic bumper can absorb ALOT of energy. Trust me I replaced mine once and couldn't have been happier to do so. I thought my sled was done for when it nailed a tree head on, but that plastic bumper cracked and saved my sled. Id say AC did a great job a designing the stock bumper.
