skid plates for 3x20s?

I had a fabricator make a similar project. I needed a whole back assembly for a transmission on a Yanmar. I made the entire setup out of cardboard, and even bolted it to the tractorto assure that it fit. He used my mockup to build the thing and it fit perfectly. It was probably even trickier than the skid plates....

Interesting. They are nothing like I imagined.

There is also a middle plate. It is only about 1.5" wide, very heavy duty.

They put some work into making them fit snugly and not loose ground clearance.

I am still thinking about this. The right plate (on the right in the first photo) is pretty close to being useable. It covers the most vulnerable stuff, the hydraulic hoses. Is it worth the money to keep it for the right side, do I have time to work up the necessary brackets to make it work...how much will that cost...still haven't made up my mind on that one. Wish I had a trailer.
