Nothing other than trees and large rocks will harm the sickle bar. You will probably break a few sections off trying to mow isolated stems larger than 1/2" diameter, depending on the species. Little elms can be tough. Wild rose is a problem if it is a large clump, but two years should not be too bad unless they have been a growing problem for several years. If there is something you can't mow, go around it. You can clean it up later with a rotary mower or by hand. But remember all the cutting parts, including the sections (triangles), section guards, ledger plates (cutting plates on the guards), backing bar the sections rivit to, pitman arm (unless you have a pitmanless like a 100 or 1100) and drive bushings are all consumable and will wear and break. Buy parts before you start, including section rivets or bolts, learn how to change sections in the field, and don't be discouraged when something breaks. We farm because we like breaking down, especially in the heat and when rain is threatening. Experienced farmers have to go and get something welded regularly.
