BX25D Skid protection plates

[Little Orange]

Added a set for skid plates to that very vulnerable under carriage of the BX25D. All that exposed rigging under there made me nervous. The plates when on easy, the hardest part was taking off the little OEM plate, as the bolts are rammed on by machine then painted over and stuck in a finger tight slot.

Note the picture of the rear plate and the new 3” spacing of the tires, see posting on adding the new hubs.

Hope this posting helps other new owners the need to protect your bottom.

Hey Orange,

If'n you had a MMM - does it still work ? Or do you have to take off the shield?

This will be my next project. Bro-Tech skid plates.

If I remember right, the forward most skid plate will not work with a mmm. I used to mow with mine but have a zero turn now, so it wont be a problem.

nice job upgrading your tractor. I did the same and after one and half year still working great. I did have my rear tires filled for better stability.

I went for the full shield, because I didn't need the MMM. Wouldn't go in the woods without it.

Re mmm,
It looks like an access piont behind door nomber 1?
I can not get on their site.
Do you have a cost?

Bro-Tek web site is being rebuilt at the moment will be fun to see his new look.

Top notch products, fast delivery and everything they are suppose to be.

His prices are very good and I think he has a sale on right now, as that is the price I got. The total pack I got including our @#$%^ taxes and delivery right to the door for 3" spacers and both front and rear plates $526CAD.

Not the least expensive of mods but one of the most important by all accounts.

Do not have a MMM but all the posts caution about MMM and which hubs work with which size decks. Check some other posts on OTT for that info.

See the other thread for need to tighten the new wheel nuts soon after installation, I did it after 4 hours of excavating and had to tighten a couple due to painted steel, and new bolts and hubs.

What size is the access hole for pto?
Is it easy to latch on pto?
Thanks,
Ray

Like Jet, sorry can not help with the MMM pto as do not use this feature.

And yes, Bro-Tec is back on line.

Cheers to protection.

jetmans pics are really good so jack the beasty up and hit it with the tape measure I built mine out of a couple old trashed street signs, and find it just as easy to remove the skid plate when mowing season comes. This also gives me a chance to check up in side and see if theres anything that needs to be taken care of. Just MHO

 

[Little Orange]

This is a bump as the interest is so strong and to give some new members a look see.

Cheers
