I can't believe these snapped so easy, maybe a bad weld, or metal too thin?
It is only a tab bent out from the guard. The 90 degree bend probably started a stress crack in the metal, and vibration took care of the rest. Using it as a handhold had little to do with it breaking. Poor design, just enough to get it out of warranty.

I had to take off the cover to clean out nuts and debris chipmunks tossed in there, so here's mine for reference:

Clearing brush to create more defensible space against fires. My GC1720 handles the Bearcat 554 chipper/ shredder just fine.

Absolute believer in the 100 ft "defensible space" around structures ... Just suffered through the OAK fire in California (18,000 acres).... And fire came right up to my property line and stopped, went around my property and a few others next to me with clear defensible space and continued on to burn up many structures (126 structures/residences to be exact) ... Most people don't know what its like to be evacuated and spend 3 days wondering if there was anything to go home to, was able to sneak in with still a lot of hot spots and road closures to see if property survived (it did), but still locked out of area by evacuation orders for a total of 8 days... Many others not so lucky, nothing left to go home to for some....
The whole experience has me looking how to use tractor to maintain defensible space (not likely to have another fire in near future, but).... Need to find the deal on scraper blade I passed up a while back....

We’ve been incredibly lucky, no large fires in our immediate area. Yet. I have a Pirhana toothbar and it’s pretty effective for clearing.
