A number of years ago we were using or old Fox 546 to chip brush that was around the yard. Had the 1755 on it wide open, tossing in branches and forkfulls of twigs and leaves. One fork full had 1/2 steel rod in it. Brooke a knife and think it messed up the shear bar. Dubbed the tractor out cold, and I'll never forget the ring I heard when she stopped. Figured out the next time we went to use it, that it also twisted the pto shaftoso it wouldn't telescope anymore. That one wasn't cheap.
Years later I was chipping brush in the guild with the Fox 3000 and the shear bar I had in on top to set the knives after replacing one that broke while chopping straw, that I forgot to remove, weighed until it feel into the cutter head. Sheared the bolts this time but took out a few more knives. We had already replaced it for field duty so it wasn't much of a loss. I took out half the knives and used it more until the 4 rib belt in back shredded a few years later.
