I have a Waag brush guard and love it. It's not meant for knocking down trees or anything.. just pushing brush.. although If I had known about the $300-400 steel bumpers I would have bought that in a heartbeat! Especially since I had bout $700 for my Waag! Though, it's kinda nice to have the rubber bumpers on the front of my brush guard cause I can gently push cars/trucks without scratching or scuffing them <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />. Comes in very handy in the winter when peoples get stuck.
