The excavators here all run forestry guarding its almost standard equipment there is no un protected sheet metal on the cab except for part of the door. The guarding has saved a few lives from rollovers to large trees falling on the cab in most cases its not legal or even safe use a excavator without guarding in the bush.
Most operators run side protection to keep a tree landing on the back crushing the engine a full guarding package adds about 1000-1500lbs to the machine.
