Would someone please explain what a "stump jumper" is on a rotary mower?

MoKioti:

The stump jumper is a plate or disk that is usually round although I believe there are a few elliptical plates on some models. The swinging blades are attached to the stump jumper. The swinging blades will hopefully pivot when striking and immovable :eek: object when mowing. The stump jumper will in theory travel/"bounce" over the obstacle without damaging the mower's gearbox output shaft. It can be quite noisey when a RC engages an immovable object. Jay

Here is a link with all kinds of equipment. Look under mowers. Has a lot of rock removal equipment for any interested.
