One thing that all compact tractors should have is the rear skid plate. The skid plate will save your machine from expensive damage such as oil filters punctures, plastic transmission fan destruction, and transmission casing cracks. The Bro-Tek Skid Plate is made of 1/8” steel diamond plate and has been designed for easy installation. Unlike other skid plates, these are easily installed in 10 minutes, drilling is required. drilling. They come pre-painted with a very durable paint for long life and good looks, even underneath. Please note that Bro-Tek does not recommend having the rear skid plate installed while the mid mount mower (MMM) is attached to your machine. It will interfere with the MMM beck. The good news is that removing the rear skid plate only takes minutes and reinstalling is just as easy when mowing season is over. For those of you with a front snow blower, both plates can remain on the tractor without interfering. The PTO door is made for the full travel of the shaft.
