Has anyone ever thought of making a skid plate that would mount to the mower links? Then you could swap it out when the mower wasn't on. In use you would just lock the plate up to the top position.

Just daydreaming

Hopefully this isn't against TBN protocol but heres a link re. BX's and various projects involving them. The linked site routinely links back here to TBN so hopefully no harm no foul......
My skidpkate is very basic & simple yet has served me well. (knock on wood).

Careful of what you ask for, you may be like me and get your vocabulary and usage of the English language expanded. The product was not a tractor or Kubota related but the engineering response to the problems experienced was user, "Subjected Equipment to an Environment That Exceeded Anticipated Usage at Time of Design and Manufacture".

I smell a legal department.
