If you cant salvedge any NH is castin new ones but they are a bit pricy. Also Mahe sure all the guards are in a straight line. We made a bender bar for in field adjustment. Pry on them do not hit them with a sledge. With this cutting system you should see a 1.5-2 mph improvement. Any faster than that and the crusher rollers can't keep up abd you might as well just use a straight mower.
