Why would you need a skidplate? Well, the Achilles heel of Kubota's BX range is the plastic cooling fan for the Hydro system. It's a weak $10 part that takes 5 hours to replace. The blades can be broken when driving over branches and other large items littering the ground. A rear skidplate will protect it.

Bro-Tek Skidplate
The "stock" skidplatesSkidplates are manufactured by Bro-Tek - front and rear. To prevent the readrear skidplate interfering with the mounting of a Mid-Mount mower, thethere Bro-Tekis an opening to permit the PTO shaft to pass through if an MMM is installed. I believe however the front skidplate will not work with the mower - can anyone confirm?Note to BX25If owners:you Asown ata JanuaryBX25 2009,or theBX__60, Bro-Tekyour front plateskidplate will notbe fita yourdifferent tractorshape. without(Earlier someskidplates cutting.do Thenot rearfit skidthe plate2009 models fitswithout OK.some Checkextra withcutting).

Skidplate and Mid-Mount Mower
Attaching a MidMount Mower with the skidplate in place can be tricky. Here are some thoughts on that problem.[TBN] BX skid plate and MMM
