BXpanded vs Bro-Tek Skid Plates

[ehenry]

I ordered the BXpanded plate today. I'll let yall know how it goes.....it might be a few days though, I'm waiting on parts from Kubota dealership before I can go back together with everything.

Thanks to all that replied !

I can't speak for the BXpanded but with the BroTek rear and mid plates installed, you can undo a few bolts and flop down the plates without completely removing them. Gives access to maintenance and goes back together pretty easily since they stay attached on one side.
I wanted the access to the mid PTO but I have never used it so maybe the BXpanded would have worked out just as well or better? :confused3: Also not sure of the ground clearance difference between the two. Looking at the Bro Tek, it just appeared to fit up closer to the chassis but that was just a guess looking at pictures.

A side notes.. The transaxle case is aluminum, bro-tek skid plate is the only one that covers this area.. Goes all the way to the back.
A rock has damage.. Complete rebuild was needed...
