Last time I was on bush hog I wrapped a 10' stalk of rebar around the deck. That was last year sometime :doh: Finally took it down to daddy's and he cut it up and off w/ cutting torch. Thank God for daddy's that live next door!!

Anyway, back to bush hoggin' this morning. Dodging known about stumps and about 30 minutes in, hit an unknown about stump. Broke shear pin. Thankfully, having broke 2 previously, I had spares. But, it still took an hour to fix and get back up and 'hoggin'.

Could be the broken or pulled rib slowing me down?? Fell through the back porch last week, but that is another story!!

I been pretty lucky for about a year now. Before it was everytime would at least break a shear pin. I have completely screwed up two bush-hogs so. Trying to be more careful now.
 
Mrs. 8 was gonna save me a job and ran the hog around. she comes back and says "i got some of the hot wire wrapped up in the blade".


2 hours later after taking the blades off, cutting the %$#@ wire off the shaft then resharpening she sure saved me a job!
wire looked like a car spring.
