Arg! What happened here...?

[Tractorbeam]

Dead-man's switch disabled and ranaway on its own, hitting a house or rock wall?

The color shows metal I think in the scrapes. Branches would have to be pretty tough to do that. I would think hitting a concrete pillar or bridge retaining wall. And to tear out that weld took some doing.. I'm not a welder but it sure looks like the breakage followed the bead in the weld instead of tearing out the other part of the beam.. As far as hat is concerned the only good hat is a Kubota hat.

no background for you guys yet, look at this and tell me your opinion. What happened here...?

First picture is a zero turn and bagger, the second is where the bagger mounts to the frame. Lots of clues on this one, look closely.

looks to me like the bottom part of the break is very straight and i see no weld there and the top jaged part look like mabely the weld did not pentrate, but i am no expert on welding

New kid on the mower, on edge of wall and zigged when he should have zagged, drove over the wall and layed it on the ROPS/bagger.

Rolled through a fence?

My Guess:

Those aren't scratches on the ROPS, it's paint... on the seat too.

Landscape trailer got in a fender bender with a paint truck and more than just their fenders traded paint. The broken welds are from the impact

how about fell of trailer while driving and got drug

The operator is constantly zero turning into solid objects on the side without the discharge chute......he remains aware of the extra space required to navigate around objects on the side with the discharge chute but forgets about the extra space required to turn because of the catcher attachment, the added length and forgetting about the extra space required is causing him to beat the heck out of this side.

How close am I???

The ROPS is tweaked and besides handle being bent there is a lot of scratches down the side. I saw scratches on a vehicle like that down the side from running into a chainlink fence,posts. plowking
