One day last week I was at the farm running the Bush Hog mowing some sweetgum saplings in thinned crp pines. Accidentally hit a pine stump and the Hog lost a blade. Made an awful noise, shook everything real bad. The blade came to rest about two feet in front of and about one foot outside the left rear wheel. I shut everything down and called it a day. Yesterday when I checked over the tractor I found a hole in the right rear fender about the same size and shape as the end of the mower blade. It was about chest high on me when I'm in the seat. When I saw that hole I know I got sick to my stomach. I'm quite sure I missed death by just a few inches that day. The bolt end of the blade broke off about half way the bolt hole. I plan to carefully check the ends of both blades from now on. That is if I can get the courage to use the mower again. Be careful out there.
