BXpanded

The folks at Bro-tek are very easy to work with too! They make a good product. The skid plate that I got last year for my JD2305 works great and protects most of the underside of my little tractor.

I'll pile-on. I got the BX-panded Under-Armor plate for my BX2660. When the mower comes off, the U-A plate goes on. Nice product, and I really like the peace of mind.

Out of curiosity what is the difference between BXpanded and Bro Tek?

Look at the pics from each co. an you can see they are very diff, but do the same thing.

From what I could tell, BXpanded plates only fit the newer BX's (xx50) and beyond. Looks like Harry's go on much faster though. But for my 2230, I went Bro-Tek. Hopefully can get some time this weekend to put it on.

I have a Bro Tek and in looking at the Bxpanded, it "looks" like you remove it when you mount the MMM?

Correct. In fact, that is what makes the BX-panded nice. It mounts and unmounts using the mower lift control, which also give you unfettered access to the undercarriage for service when needed. When the BX-panded is in place, it provides a lot of coverage. However, it isn't truly a "skid plate" (thinking of my Jeepin' day) in the sense of dragging is over rocky terrain and carrying the weight of the tractor on the plate. The BX-panded plate would be damaged if you tried that.

I can see where that would be nice, but I remember seeing a member who had a fan destroyed even with the MMM on; unusual but not impossible.

It's a moot point for me in that I already have the Bro Tek on and have the front plate for when I take the MM off, but if I was buying new who knows.

I have other tractors, so if it gets very bad, I just use something with more clearance.
