I have a new (to me) 2011 SR220 with an open cab and I need to do a lot of heavy brush/tree mowing. Going to try out some brush cutters with the open front deck, so they require good protection. Best deal I saw online for something new was about $1200 for a front polycarbonate door with all the frame hardware and no side windows. $400 more for the side windows. I need to spend money on attachments, not this.
I'm thinking of just purchasing a polycarbonate sheet and cutting it to roughly the size of the stock door and attaching hinges. Might only cost me $200 that way. I'll put some hardware cloth and/or thicker wire mesh for support on the sides, it gets hot here in Texas, don't need a greenhouse. Is this adviseable?
I tried to find some used parts online to put in a proper door but I am frustrated trying to find something. I feel like ordering some parts directly from Case might be cheaper than these kits they're selling if I only knew what to order. Or if I could locate a junkyard, and I have tried.
Any advice or maybe point me to some older relevant threads that I couldn't find... appreciate it.
