impact wrenches are rather powerful instruments because of their "shock loading".
i guess i have some first hand experience with a smaller and less powerful B7100. i was "ramming" roots in the fall. with a single row plow, gaining speed, grabbing the root and trying to rip them apart, lifting the front wheels off the ground some times once the slack ran out and the root didn't break. worked it for a few hours like this until my plow finally bent. had that repaired at a machine shop, no big deal.
but it does look like it caused a nice crack in my frame. noticed it just this summer when doing something with my MMM. guess i'll be doing some welding this winter and i definitely won't be doing that again. really annoying for me since what i was working on was rather benign and not a big deal.
