Your skid plates are a beauty in simplicity.The "lid" is prolly about 200 lbs. and the additonal framework is not much, 12' or so of 2x3 quarter inch wall tube. I do work on hills and that much weight on a 5 ton tractor does not mean much. FWIW I added about 500 lbs. to the bottom of the tractor with a full .25" skid plate from the front axle to the rear axle on a previous project.
