Mud Flaps Keep Mower Deck Clean
Steve Tomson bolted a pair of rubber mud flaps ahead of the rear wheels on his Kubota zero-turn riding mower equipped with a 60-in. deck.
    “They keep the tires from throwing mud and other debris onto the deck,” says Tomson. “Zero-turn mowers can move pretty fast, and the tires can throw stuff all over the place. I used existing holes in the back side of the deck to bolt the flaps on.”
    The flaps measure 12 in. high by 10 in. wide and were made by cutting up hard plastic to the proper size. The bottom of each flap matches the bottom of the deck.
    “It’s important to use hard plastic and not soft rubber to make the flaps, because soft rubber will just flop around,” says Tomson.
