Aurthuritus I have to disagree on this one, though the skid plate is a massive pita I generally sweep up a 5 gallon buckets worth of mud that was living rent free in the under carriage every time I drop them.
I don’t know about the pump on the x1100c but my toro dingo uses that motor and it takes a lot to kill it. I have soil cultivator, auger, trencher, etc
