I had cleaned off an area with my dozer the year before and wanted to mow it down after all the weeds had gown in.
I was going along nicely when the bush hog seemed to explode on me!!!
I raised the deck, but it was stuck on something. I had to drag it forward aways until a stump came out.
It was still buried, but there must have been just enough sticking up for the blade to catch it and pull it out. Then it got caught up in the blades and twisted them all up. They bent so bad that the deck was damaged to the point of breaking severeal welds on the outside of if.
It was over in a second, but the noise seemed to carry on for allot longer. Then engine didn't die and the shear pin didn't break, but the blades were both destroyed!!!
