Massey 1734E DIY Rubber Floor

[LukeDuke30]

Since the E-series do not come with rubber floors I decided to make some myself. I bought a 4'x6'x3/4'' stall mat from Rural King.

It was really straight forward - I removed the existing floors to use as a template. I went through about 10 razor blades, but in the end it took about an hour to remove, cut, and make small adjustments for a good fit. I used some carriage bolts and nylock nuts through the existing floorboard holes. It turned out nice for $30.

Nice! I'm going to steal that idea:thumbsup:

Very nice. I think of that every time I pass the stack of stall mats at Tractor Supply.

Very nice work! A lot cheaper than having it sprayed with Line-X or Rhino Lining.

Nice, I may do this to my 'bota

Very nice...doubt you'll ever wear a hole/tear that mat!

Another benefit of this mat is the weight of it. As we all know, tractors of similar size could always use the extra weight. This 4x6 sheet I used weights almost 100 lbs.

I weighed the material I added to the tractor, and it was about 30 lbs. Not a ton, but it all adds up especially with filled tires.

Wow. Nice job on the fit!

Just curious. Was that $30 for the amount you used or $30 for the 4'x6' piece??

$30 for the 4'x6' piece. I would have bought a smaller size, but that was the only size they carried in 3/4''.

Thanks for the reply. I recently purchased two 4x6x3/4" mats for my home gym. ON SALE for $69 per mat.

Locally they are up to $100 each.
