I got about 15 feet of coated chain link fence wound around my flail mower reel. Cutting it would be real hard with the plastic coating. I found one end, and started pulling. I finally got it all out. I think the bed springs were the worst to get around the reel. when the blades catch something it's too late to do much, it happens real fast. What's some of the things you have caught in your machines? Stan

Ha! Mine usually grinds that stuff up and spits it out in a wad, but twice this year I got a wrapper...about a week ago I found some new electric fence wire in the grass along with that poly wire, what a mess. Then tonight I told the new neighbor I would more down some rye and till a garden spot for them. I decided to mow a path to the field and found the last renters had left a couple hundred feet of high tensile barbwire laying by the crossfence which caught one spindle. I know what I will be doing in the morning.....that and two front flats this week (so far)...
 
Just last week ruined a front tire by unloading my tractor. The ramp flipped up on edge, and went right into the side wall. Stan
 
Must be a bad year all around. Was just telling the wife how amazed I've been that we haven't had any flats in MANY years on the old farm. Now this year, had a piece of wire about 12" long sticking out of a rear tire on the riding mower, and then another piece about 36" wrapped itself around the walk-behind string trimmer. ARG!

...But I'll take my problems to ya'lls ANY day! :wink:
 
I wrapped a hog panel up in a shredder once.

Wound up lifting the unit up with a loader and cutting the panel out a piece at a time with a torch.
 
Not me, but my grandson. He can break an anvil with a rubber mallet. A couple of years ago, I put a new set of steps on the 2520
. He decided that he was going to help, and do some bushogging. He was making his first round around the tool shed and caught a stump with the new steps, mashing them back into the tire. He kept going another ten feet and tried to run over the stump with the bushhg, breaking off a hunk of wood and lodging it tight on the end of the blade, and went back to the tool shed. He then tried to knock it off with a sledge hammer, but hit the mower deck and broke the handle in half. So he then pulled a chain saw out and cut the wood off of the blade, ruining the chain on the saw.

It's true. YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID.........
 

Broke a rear wheel on the Bush Hog today....broke the other one 4 years ago. They are the ones with the rubber tire segments...the metal bands seem to fatigue over time, break and the tire falls off the rim. Fortunately I had made up a spare solid rubber tire that I carry with me. I thought the cheap replacement would be the first one to go as the hub cracked up on it soon after I got it....bolted it back together with some big washers and it is still going. Had to take one off the new Bush Hog for a spare as I will be a ways from home the next 4 days....
 
Let a friend borrow tractor and bush hog. He bogged it down so I had to drive another tractor to his place and pull him out. He left the chain laying on the deck after I pulled him out. Shortly thereafter, the chain falls through the blade removal hole in deck and wraps tightly under deck. What a mess!
