Yesterday I was using my 5 ft. Rotary cutter trimming the grass and weeds in my woods lot,
Cutter hit a limb and fired it up toward me, hit the tractor this time,
Last year a limb or stick hit me in the ankle, hurt so bad I did not want to look down, Fortunately only some blood and pain,
However, after that incident I bought a front heavy rubber guard belt for my cutter, plus bolts and attachment material,
But as you can guess, was too lazy to install it, so it's still rolled up in my storage shed,
Maybe it's time I re think the front guard installation,
All cutters should come with front guards or deflectors,
My opinion only, but I think rotary cutters and chain saws are about the two most dangerous things most of us part time farmers use,
Be safe,
