Husqvarna Automower Skid Plate 260 M | 546571701
Genuine Husqvarna replacement skid plate designed for commercial Automower EPOS robotic lawn mowers with a 260mm cutting width.
The skid plate sits beneath the cutting disc, helping protect the cutting system from grass clippings, debris and impacts during operation.
Ideal for replacing skid plates that have become bent, cracked, damaged or excessively worn.
Common Reasons for Replacement
-
Bent or warped skid plate: Impacts with rocks, roots or other hard objects can deform the plate, potentially causing it to contact the cutting disc or surrounding components.
-
Scraping or rattling noises: A damaged or misaligned skid plate may create unusual noises when the mower is operating.
-
Cracks or physical damage: Repeated impacts or accidental damage during maintenance can weaken the plate.
-
Excessive wear: Prolonged commercial operation and repeated contact with debris can gradually deteriorate the skid plate.
-
Restricted rotation: Grass, string or other debris trapped around the skid plate assembly can interfere with free movement. Cleaning and inspection should be carried out before replacing the plate.
-
Damaged mounting components: A loose or damaged support, cap or bearing assembly may cause excessive movement or wobbling.
Symptoms to Check
- Unusual scraping, rattling or vibration from the cutting system
- Visible cracks, bending or distortion
- Skid plate wobbling or rubbing against the cutting disc
- Excessive grass and debris collecting around the cutting assembly
- Skid plate not rotating freely
These symptoms may also indicate worn bearings, damaged mounting components or trapped debris. Inspect the complete cutting assembly before replacing parts.
