Rotary Cutter Sharpening the blades

[Gator6x4]

Did you bother to watch the vid YOU posted? It clearly shows that the blades are NOT attached to the stump jumper.

Also, MY Woods cutters do not have the blades attached with threaded pins/nuts like he torched off in the vid, either.

I don’t know what to say other than if that is your Bush Hog you posted a picture of in post#46 then your blades are attached to a part called a stump jumper, by the same pins the gentleman torched off in the video.

The stump jumper, and pins are clearly visible in the photo you posted.

My lawn mower blades are not attached to a stump jumper, neither is. Anyone else’s.

How about looking at what is on the other side of the jumper before you post! IF you do, you will find what the blades are bolted to, and the "pins" on mine are not just threaded bolts, they are held in by "keepers" not threaded nuts like you keep indicating.

You have a cheaper Woods cutter, so they saved some money on YOURS by bolting the blades on.

I can't be much plainer about this, so if you don't get it by now, you aren't going to get it. lol

The picture you posted does not support what you are saying. If you consider my rotary cutter cheap you also consider millions of others cheap.

Know why the gentleman in the video cut the heads off of the bolt? He could not get the nut loose on the other end.

I have helped a neighbor replace the gear box on a bush hog and the lower seal so I am fairly familiar on what is on top of the stump jumper and what the stump jumper is attached to and how it is attached and most importantly how heavy a stump jumper is.

I guess I will have to tell my neighbors we have been according to you paying top dollar for cheap equipment.

OK, I'm going to try this one last time, look at this pict. of one of my Woods Rotary cutters,

I torched the stump jumper off, does it look to you like the blades were held on by the stump jumper??? Take two looks before you answer. lol

NOW, look at the pict. Willy posted earlier,

Look at numbers 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13! Does it STILL look like the blades on the more expensive Woods cutters are held on by a large pin/bolt with a big nut that requires huge torque to get on or off?? This is how my "upper end" Woods cutters have the blades held on, it has NOTHING to do with the age of the cutters!

I'm not driving down to hillbillyville to show you, so if you don't get it now, with the above picts., you are a lost cause! lol and I give up!

By the picture(s) you again have provide, What you did is torch the stump jumper off, leaving the heavy duty steel attachment bar that was attached to the top - back of the stump jumper. The heavy duty bar is also what contains the splined connector to the gear box shaft protruding downward thru the deck. What you have created by your action is create a catastrophic Rotary Cutter gear box or tractor PTO drive line failure from shock stress if the bar your blades are attached to ever hits a stump or rocks and stops suddenly with the tractor running at PTO speed. Trust me the damage will not be taken care of under warranty nor be the fault of the Rotary Cutter or tractor.

The Woods Brush Bull which I have is considered Woods Premium Rotary Cutter. So if you disagree with that labeling by Woods and consider the Rotary cheap, my suggestion is for you to tell Woods that not me.

Woods latest version of the Woods Brush hog contains pin removal for the blades.

• "Greasable Quick-change blade pins are easy to maintain and remove from top of the deck through large blade access window
• High-strength steel bumper with a Z-channel frame for added durability when backing over tough brush"

With the modifications you have made, I would not recommend backing or driving over tough brush.

The Woods Brushbull BB72.60 cuts brush and saplings up to four inches in diameter and twelve inches tall. Six-year limited gearbox warranty.

I personally don't think you should be driving. Your pictures, the modifications you have made and saying that is standard on "HIGH DOLLAR ROTARY CUTTERS " do not match or coincide with facts.

Your modifications to what was already a dangerous piece of equipment when in use is a very good example of why we should never be around or near when someone is operating a Rotary Cutter or Flail Mower.

Every old timer I've talked to said you don't sharpen Brush Hog Blades. I do anyway, as my Bush Hog, after most of the heavy duty work has been done on the property, morphed into a high grass mower. I only use it when the grass has gotten out of hand. I flip mine over, and then use a grinder. It does an Okay job at grass cutting. Not great, but then I use the Garden Tractor mower to clean up the cut.
