also need to add hanging chains or something to control the "projectiles"
Thanks[/QUOTE]I don't think I would put chains on the rear (chains are already on the front from the photos) as they would likely just impede the discharge significantly. I don't think I have ever seen a bush hog with rear chains unless maybe for highway mowing. You should never mow with persons in the vicinity so rear projectiles is a non issue.
You could open the rear if you wanted to back over larger trees without bending the underside framing OR you could just strengthen the rear with some stiff framing that wouldn't bend as easily. I think that I would go with the strengthening rather than cutting away the sheet metal.
