They meet the Australian Design Rules for pedestrian safety - forces the pedestrian up onto the bonnet rather than under the car.
That bar actually looks like the genuine LR Bar for the D4 - not after market. Is made out of polished aluminium so not as strong as most other bars that are steel.

It's not legal to drive a tractor on the road with unprotected bale spikes.
And sharp edges or points such as spikes, pallet tines, bucket teeth etc legally have to be either folded up or guarded.
