Bumble bee nest, old log chain, old fence posts, barb wire, a concrete block, couple stumps, ..... I guess that's about it.

This email that I got one time may be of some interest:
The telephone people send crews to other states in times of crisis to help
restore services, just like the Power Company does.
A lineman from Michigan was working here in Alabama, when he was sent to
repair a pedestal which had been destroyed by a 'Bush Hog'.
Upon getting to the site, he called in to the office on the radio and said
he could probably get the wires put back together, and get a new pedestal
installed, but that he was not getting out of the truck until they got some other backup to the scene. "I don't know what a bush hog is,
and I don't see one around anywhere, but after seeing what it did to that
pedestal, I ain't getting out of the truck till you get someone here to
watch my back!"

I've got an old 4 blade pull shredder that I pull with my SuperC. I had it set high clipping some stumpy reclaimed land and the whole carrier fell out. The upper blade carrier tore off one of the wheel spindles of the cutter and the lower cartwheeled about 50' circle and came to rest right in front of tractor. It took hours to find the springs for the undermount clutches, a day to put it all back togehter, and a week to regain the courage to use it again.

Tillerkiller that one is priceless. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
I hit the blade portion for a 4 foot push blade off of an old lawn tractor. Thats what it looked like anyway. I guess the previous owner of my land may have been trying to build a home made one.
VERY luckily it was laying push side down so the rotary cutter blades kind of skimmed over the surface of the thing rather than hitting edge to edge. I still just about jumped off the tractor and ran when I heard it though.

I was mowing down in a gully at the in-laws place, when I hit the belly pan of an old 60s VW bug. Spun that 3/8 sheer pin right now.
