ABSTRACT:
A plant protective fender for use with earth working machines such as rototillers comprises, in one embodiment for use with machines having rear-mounted tines, a support member fixedly attached at a selectable distance from the frame of the machine and a pair of guard members depending from the support member. The guard members extend from the support member to the housing of the earth working members of the machine, and are attached to the housing at a fixed selectable height. In another embodiment for use with machines having front-mounted tines, the guard members are attached at a fixed selectable point to an attachment member rotatably inserted into the tine shaft and extended forwardly the tines and rearwardly to attachment brackets for attachment to the machine depth gauge. The machine-forward portion of the fender has a central opening about which the fender is curved first in the horizontal plane and then in the vertical plane to provide guiding and deflecting surfaces which will not trap objects within the fender, or bind upon the ground. The remaining portion of the guard members are planar.
