Arg! What happened here...?

[MessickFarmEqu]

no background for you guys yet, look at this and tell me your opinion. What happened here...?

First picture is a zero turn and bagger, the second is where the bagger mounts to the frame. Lots of clues on this one, look closely.

 

[Ductape]

Ductape's Assesment: Owner (landscaper) regularly hauled it on a trailer..... bouncing over every bump, regularly full of wet grass. But it still shouldn't have broken.....

 

[Rara Avis]

He broke it on a slope...

 

[Scooby074]

Im guessing he laid it on its side. Scrapes on rops and bent dump handle on catcher?

 

[Farmwithjunk]

ROPS appears to have a little "twist" to it. Dump release handle has a LOT of twist to it. Skid marks on ROPS and side frame of grass catcher.

Couple guess's, and BOTH involve mower being on it's side. Simple roll-over, or else rolled/fell off trailer at moderate speed.

I agree with FWJ. Jay

 

[ChuckinNH]

I suppose that he could have had a close brush with a retaining wall, or tree, but it sure looks like FWJ's assesment is closest. Those look more like gravel scrapes than tree, or retaining wall ones.

Looks like normal wear and tear Kubota should re-place it!!
Just Kiddinn!!

Amateurs This RTR is back at the dealer, remember? "I was was just slowly mowing along my flat yard when I heard a clunk sound."

 

[RollTideRam]

I think it was hit by a Deere. JC
