It's not about mud or debris, its more about keeping hands, legs, and bodies out of the tire's rotation. If there is fenders for it and you dont have them on and something does happen, then well you know... I can see if one doesnt have fenders and they arent readily available. If having fenders wasnt such a good idea, then why do 99% of all new tractors have them. If I didnt have fenders on my 300U, I would not ride it. There is still some exposed tire, but like others have said, if you loose your balance, they are there. They may not stop you from getting ground up in a tire, but they will increase your chances of stabilizing yourself before that happens. I just dont like hearing about people gtting hurt on tractors is all. If one feels comfortable without them and they are of a reasonable age and experience, then I guess it's ok. I guess I'm just trying to say that safety should be the #1 concern.
