P1000 STEEL, ALUMINUM vs UHMW Skid plate

[100Acre]

UHMW on both machines. Haven't had an issue yet

Mine came with Factory aluminum skids and they are holding up great a year later with mostly rocky riding. JMO

I’ve had aluminum since 16’ and beat the living crap out of it and it’s sled down dragons back and hit some of its rocks a few times with no issues. I’m happy with it. Never really got a good straight up reason not to like it from folks? Yes it may bend a touch here and there but it’s easy to bend back.

Have you added any more holes to that skid? Doesn't look like it has that many, by exhaust, drain holes etc. Any heating issues? I've seen a few different type of aluminum skids and they all seem to have very few holes cut out.

No, there all there for your drains. Heat is no difernt than other skids.also ridgeded up the frame like another crossmember from its firmness

Ok cool. I started on mine last night and im thinking of just doing a few cutouts for now vs all the one that come on the stock skid.

Going to try to wrap it up tonight.

Thanks man!
I'm not much of a metal worker so I took my time with it. And the OCD kicked in and I put a beveled edge on everything
