Ouch!
That's gotta hurt since you had the skid plate!
I keep reading these BX fan threads and remember several years ago a member had a machine shop fabricate a couple of stainless steel fans.
I wonder how it worked out for him,and if it might be the final answer for BX owners?
Good Luck!

Yikes, any idea what got up and over the Bro-Tek?
I have no idea...I never found the fins or a stick. I thought I remember hearing something moving some railroad ties in my yard the other day but I'm not real sure what did it. To Bro-Tek's credit I did have the access hole open where the MMM PTO shaft goes through so maybe it got in that way.

I had a 2200 before my 2620. One of the main reasons for switching to the "B" series was higher ground clearance and the hst cooler that sits in front of the rad. I know if I try hard enough I could probably knock a filter (fuel,oil, hst).

I submitted this in another thread so apologies if you've already read it. A couple of weeks ago I had the same thing happen - Brotek rear shield in place (but no front shield) and with the shaft plate also in place; but nonetheless in driving through the woods a thin tree managed to snake its way up and stripped all of the blades in a second.
Rather than go through the prescribed process to replace the fan, I fashioned (an idea from another post) replacement sheet metal blades (only 5 rather than the original 10) and screwed and glued them onto the plastic hub. It seems to be working although only time will tell. I also shielded the hydralic lines next to the fan in the event that a metal blade flies off or (more damagingly) comes partially off and hits the line while spinning.
