I have a B2710 with a 72" LandPride Mower. I have made gravel out of some large rocks that were covered up by some small brush. Has anyone else done this? It made 2 out of 3 mower blades unusable but it didn't bend them which was a surprise.
What is the likelyhood of doing permanent damage to the mower and/or tractor? The mower doesn't have a slip clutch or shear bolt protection like my rotary cutter does. Accidents do happen with finishing mowers and I would think they would be protected.
The impact transfered from the blades, mower gearbox and through the PTO nearly shutting the tractor off. This certainly can't be good for the mower and/or tractor. Everything still seems to function normally except the blades now need to be replaced.
Any comments would be welcomed on the worst objects hit with a rotary and/or finishing mower and how the equipment faired after the "impact".
