Rotary Cutter I have chains on rotary cutter

[beenthere]

Yes, very good point, and I meant to mention that as one precaution.
And as greg has pointed out, the rear of the cutter will lift when going starting to go through a ditch. Cannot account for all land variations. I just wanted to account for the ones (bottom of the ditch) that would put un-due compressive forces on the rigging that caused the steel metal bars to bend. The added flexibility is nice, but the replacement of the bent arms is most important.

Tell the rest of the story though. ..... - I'll bet your setup lifts that tail wheel clean off the ground.....
Next time I put my rotary cutter on, I'll snap a few photos .......

Beenthere,

I don't understand you at all. You really SHOULD be using your straps. They make GREAT door stops. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I agree with you. Someday they might be useful, when I can get the bends out of them. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

They are not designed for compressive forces (3/16" by 1" cross-section steel strap) so why not a cable in their place (or chain) ? /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Mine are 1/4" thick, and I guess they weigh about 40# apiece. First time I backed up against my pond levee, they still bent like spaghetti.
