Kubota M7060 skid plate for fuel tank area

[ahardb0dy]

Hello, Just joined.

We have a brand new Kubota M7060 tractor at my job that I use. City Parks and grounds job. I have been using it with a Land Pride brush hog to cut down small trees and tall grass in a field.

Twice so far (again today), a tree or part of the tree has gotten between the fuel lines and the tank and pulled the hose off the plastic nipple on the fuel tank. causing all the Diesel to run out.

Wanted to ask if anyone has made anything to better enclose the fuel tank, since the stock skid plates are very thin and don't really protect anything.

Thanks,

Tony

This was the previous area I mowed, this area had been mowed before so the brush and trees were small, think I was in turtle 2nd gear.
