BX-24 Rear Drive Shaft Fan Questions

It will certainly protect the fan better than no guard, but with some of the areas on my property I take mine, I'm glad I "diamond-plated" the underside of my BX...

Ah ha!! so that whats the hole was for. For the cross bar on frame.

Well. It looks like there some protection now

Finally!!!! pics of the fan protector installed..nice pics kdm... thanks for posting... it dont look like it really does too much more than them cross bars that are already there.whats the rating of the overall installation? maybe the diamond plated skid plates would provide better coverage

I think I will stick with my Bro-Tek rear skid plate. The Kubota version doesn't seem to be very well thought out for actual protection. Thanks for the pics.

Where did you find the inner wheel weights. I have the outside ones on my bx-23 but snag stuff when snow blading (need to move flower barrels farther away from sidewalk

Thanx

Not to be a nit picker ,but the boot on your driveshaft looks a little worse for wear. I like the looks of that protection plate,but I don't think it will provide enough cover for using the brush mower. In my case anyway. Nice wheel weights.

It doesn't look to me like the Kubota protector does any good. Doesn't prevent a stick coming in from the front only from the very bottom. I installed the Bro-tek rear skidplate. It took me about an hour and protects everything very well. It was $180 well spent. why spend $18000 on a nice tractor and they quibble over an extra $140 above the Kubota protector. Doesn't make sense.
