I meant to take a picture, but dropped the unit off for repairs before doing it.
I caught a ripper tooth on a stump while lightly blading some woods trails. The tooth rotated backwards, peeling a 4" strip up from the box beam it was mounted through...just like a can-opener! Oh, it also bent the 3ph pin on that side.
I guess I'm lucky it wasn't a blade that got wracked; I'll bet they're a lot harder to fix.
It seems like trees and tractors don't get along...I've done more damage to the tractor and implements with a few dozen hours in the woods than with hundreds in the fields!
