    They are a great tool, you may not want to hook it up and try it. Could be expensive.:D

    Skeeter have you ever seen this chit happen before? 20210818_104716.jpg 20210818_104728.jpg
    It's a 8' dual spindle #3008 Bush Hog and the blades (all 4) get all bent upward. I've never had this happen before on any of my previous mowers including everything from an econo "mohawk", several woods and a JD 709 and they were all use in similar conditions.
    (Did I ask you about this already)

    No they spun freely when I installed them. Now they are wedged a little tight with the 1st bend distorted.

    A dealer said that he thought that he had heard that they were using softer steel in the blades for liability (lawyers) concerns. This in no way is a harry homeowner's machine.
    I've never seen this before and both sets of blades are OEM BH brand.

    Those hydro lines behind the bucket look like they're frowning at being bent out of shape.

    Usually once they get to that point, we see them equipped with the hose clamp upgrade!
