Backhoe 110 TLB Stabilizer Shields

[V1BuzzBomb]

Just inquired with local JD dealer on GR belly pan/skid plate and stabilizer shields. Dealer suggested that belly pan/skid plate was available but stabilizer shields discontinued. With that, I jumped on a used set from Wengers. Price was fair. They are complete but worse for wear. I spent a few hours prying and hammering one side straight, a lot of eyeballing and sweat. Will get the other side done and refinish.

Good plan!
I would love to find a set of stabilizer shields to fit my Kubota L48 TLB.

How much were you quoted on the skid plate if you don't mind me asking?

Was wondering also

Roughly $515 plus $300 Freight.

What are stabilizer shields? Are they the two steel halves that protect the outrigger hyd rams(rock guards)?

Correct !

Copy. My 110 had them but they look easy enough to make.
Thinking about the belly pan, the commercial version bolts onto the trans/tranny adding extra weight to them and if ever there was a strike, transferring those stresses to the drive train. I wonder if a better design wouldn't be to attach it to the subframe, thus "tying" then together for cross strength. $500.00 for the pan and $300.00 for shipping seems excessive.

I have never seen the Deere design. It sounds like there's more to it than Kubota's guards.

I installed shields on my L47 recently. Yesterday a good sized rock rolled down and bounced off one of them leaving a small dent.
For me, they were worth the $200 investment. Pricy, (my opinion) but cheeper than replacing the cylinder.

Absolutly. I agree on the rock guards. I believe the $800.00 he was referring to was for the belly pan.
