#89 Do You Need A Skid Plate On Your Massey GC 1700 Sub Compact Tractor

An owner-operator walks through the dealer-installed skid plate on his Massey GC1700, then fabricates a DIY version from sheet metal using basic hand tools, calling out exact dimensions throughout. Covers material choices, mounting method using factory bolts and a U-bolt, cutting, bending, and painting with self-etching primer. Cost comes to roughly $25. Most useful for GC1700 owners who want to build their own skid plate on a tight budget.

An owner-operator channel focused on hands-on tractor work, so expect practical field-level advice rather than a polished or sales-oriented presentation.
