I've hit stuff with my 48" brush cutter that really scares me. Once, out by the highway, I hit a 4" ratcheting tie down assembly and strap. That came back and obliterated the left, rear wheel on the brush cutter. I've hit softball sized rocks that have bounced well over a hundred feet. I once was mowing along and hit some 2" branches. As one flew out, spinning away from me, I had time to think to myself, "That looks just like a boomerang..." and guess what? It went out about 50', turned around and came right back at me! Landed about 5' from the tractor! But by far, the worst thing I've hit has been dead turkeys. At least once a year, I'll run over a dead turkey and the maggots and smell about kill me! :laughing: The only thing I ever find besides the feathers, is a claw and the shin bone.
