No, but I have not taken it into the woods yet. I have gone through one year field growth with the MMM on with no problems.

"No"...had a BX2660 for 3 seasons and over 300 hours without any fan damage. I did install the Kubota fan guard after a couple seasons. Seldom ran it thru the woods however.
Now that you started it you have to keep it up
For some reason only a small amount of BX owners are responding. I agree that the numbers would be much lower.

Most people that do not have a complaint ever respond to any thing. Therefore most people have never had a broken fan or knew/know it if they do/did.
Have you ever broken the transmission fan on your BX? No or yes will work. That's the question with no question as to hours, how many BXs have you owned, do you do work in the woods, do you just mow your yard, no additional factors or filters.

Not counting some people that have owned several isn't a part of this survey or any other disclaimers to make it to technical in able to make the numbers lie.
Back to on track for this survey......Have you ever broken the transmission fan on your BX? No or yes will work. If you want to contribute, as I did, that I never with 2 or 5 different BXs I think the number should be counted as 2 or 5 nos.
Purpose of this is to show these new buyers or pondering buyers that this broken fan is not an automatic happening and to avoid the BX because of the plastic fan. Buy protection plate if your going to be off road but for the majority of BX buyers who are suburbia large lot owners, it's an almost no thought issue. That's my point. Old experienced heads always want to present how bad things can be and they can but they are usually the exception and not the norm. That's the point.
Back to the question with out modifiers except the total number the answer is covering.......... Have you ever broken the transmission fan on your BX? No or yes will work.

IIRC Kubota has a two year warranty? How many claims have they had.
If that plate that is under mine is a new addition, the I would say at one time they had enough to warrant the added expense of adding that plate. How long has that plate been there....if it has been under there for years with no change then I would think that the plate had done its job enough to not warrant any additional changes.

Can you do a "poll thread" if you don't want any explanation with the answer? It's just natural to want to explain a bit (circumstances, hours, etc). As a reader, I personally find the info useful, but as the thread op you obviously do not. :confused3:

Not a long time owner(from Nov 2012) or operator(approx 85hrs but continually learning)but I've ridden over lots of things I shouldn't have(in hind-sight), mostly stacked heavy brush piles and mounds of firewood. Felt and heard lots of scraping and bumping but - knock on wood - I haven't even knicked the fan though I did bend the stock protective cover a little. After reading several threads here I now know to be more careful as replacing the fan can be quite a headache if not a truely expensive undertaking. I have a fel so nowadays I knock down my piles some first.
