DIY Skid plates on Kioti Tractor~Exactly WHY is it that they don't come standard???

A homestead owner documents his DIY skid-plate fabrication on a Kioti tractor in real time, tracing factory covers, cutting and bending sheet metal to extend protection around exposed hydraulic lines, fuel tank plastic, and throttle linkage. He explains exactly which vulnerable components prompted the build and critiques the factory design gaps. The project is unfinished here, so viewers wanting a complete how-to will need follow-up videos.
