If you've spent much time bush hogging, at some point you'll run over something that you "just didn't see". High weeds that haven't been mowed for years give up some mighty big suprises! What's the worst thing you've ever hit? Did it go sailing? Or did it stay under the mower?
I do commercial bush hogging on a full-time basis. With 2 tractors logging around 1100 hours each every summer, my employee and I have hit a few things of note.
The worst SOUNDING was a space-saver spare tire and rim last summer. I would have never expected something like that almost a mile from the nearest road.
A sawed off telephone pole, left 6" out of the ground made for some excitement!
The worst over-all experience was running over one end of about 1000 feet of cable TV wire left laying in the weeds. I spent the better part of a day with wire cutters in hand on that one.
My employee hit a car batterey last summer. More noise than damage.
OK....What's YOUR story? /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
