Cub Cadet RZT Rear Bumper or Not?

[WSJ]

I'm getting one of these this year and wonder whether the rear bumper is a good idea or even essential accessory for it. Thoughts? Suggestions? Experiences?

Thanks. -WSJ

Hard to say. I suppose it could offer protection, but it could also make it easier to rub or snag the arse-end on something when you swing the tail on a turn. The less that's hanging out the rear, the better IMO.
