Price with shipping is a bit pricey for the BXpanded model, but if it's the only one available, I guess I'll bite the bullet and order one.

Thanks,

I knew there were at least 2 "types" from 2 different mfrs when I first checked into it a year ago, but as I have almost no woods/trees/bushes on my property and have the MMM on when I am not snowblowing, I considered it a calculated risk to go without and didn't buy any of them.

Of the 2 (or was it 3?) I looked at....all seemed very expensive.

Sorry, I didn't save any of the links/info :-(

Bro-Tek was the original as far as I know.
Canadian guy that is solid to work with and makes killer products.

That "Canadian guy" is Paul Short in Bay Roberts, Newfoundland.
Paul is the fabricator, and his wife Kathy is the communicator.

They make and sell exceptionally well crafted Kubota (only) accessories.

A 2by4' sheet of UHMW dump truck 'liner' makes a real nice 'protector'. Saw a picture here of one for the BX23S.One day I'll get 4 'angle brackets' and put the sheet on... maybe a 'winter project'? Course I've said that 3 times now.....

No, the original was Richard from New Brunswick…BRO-TEK
He was manufacturing before Paul Short.

"No" ???????
No what?
I did NOT state that Paul Short was the first!
How did you conclude that from my post?

You certainly jumped right in and said “he’s the Canadian guy” and he is NOT
The person I meant. (BroTek Richard)
Paul is a great fabricator but not who I was talking about.

Paul Short IS a Canadian guy,...... and 'i jumped in" because he makes fine Kubota accessories.
I did not claim ANYTHING else!
There was no way for me to determine what you might have "meant".

First thing I said was BRO-TEK…that’s not Mr Paul Short.
I think your “handle” is not the only thing that’s “fried” 🤣

Your insults are noted!
You obviously opted to misconstrue the nature my initial post!
This discussion is concluded!
