I have a Bush Hog SQ720 rotary cutter that I use hard. It has an oval pan, or stump jumper, around the blade holder. After enough collisions with stumps, the oval pan gets bent out of shape. With an oval shape, the pan repeatedly hits a stump as its long axis rotates around.
It seems like a round stump jumper wouldn't have this problem since there is no long axis to swing around and collide with the stump at high speed. I've never used a cutter with a round pan, so I'm only theorizing. Am I thinking about this correctly?
