Woods mower blade balance

I have a woods 6 ft. mower. When I buy new blades I notice they are balanced. First time I hit a rock there goes the balance job. I also sharpen the blades, which puts them more out of balance with each other. Just how important is it to keep the blades the same weight. I did break the main shaft off last year. The blades just dropped off no noise or any thing. Could out of balance have caused this? Or possible heavy brush chopping.

Ballance isn't too critical on these, the 3 blade are each fairly short. However, it can wear them out faster, so it's worth a little effort to keep them somewhere's near ballanced. You can buy fancy ballancers, but I just use a round rod and lay the blade on top of it crosswise. I've ground off a little on the backside to get it right, but once I had to drill some holes in the end of the blade. It was the only way I could remove enough metal to get it ballanced.
