I spent the first 4 years of my Rhino 5-footer cutter's life dragging the front end of the thing in the ground. The angle was fairly close to what the manual recommended, but I could never figure out how to keep from gouging little ditches in the ground with the leading edge. About a year ago, I changed the height of my tailwheel, thus solving the gouging problem and now getting even better quality of cut.
However, as you can see, I have lost some steal off my deck. Most of the damage was done before, but yesterday I lost another 6" of that little 1" steal apron that is welded on the bottom of the deck sides, at a right angle to the sides. It got caught of something which bent it out, then I caught it on something during transport and it pulled completely off.
Does anyone feel it would be worth trying to get some steal and having it welded on there? I don't own a welder yet, myself.
