[QUOTE="dhoganjr, post: 452747, member: 12925"] I think the first solid hit would rip them from the pin holes, possibly allowing bigger rocks and debris into the intake causing more damage. The reason I say this is because I bought a set of the uhmw side skirts from James River. The first time out I went over a stump and it twisted one of them 180 degrees and ripped it off the rod. The fins would be much thinner and won't take a hard hit very well. The stainless fins have an oval on one end to allow for stretch and bending when they take a hit, but remain in place to protect the auger. [/QUOTE]
