I was using my bush hog to mow around the yard and barn at the farm. I had areas I cut with my riding mower but used the bush hog in the long grass and rougher going. Well , I backed up to the fence and dropped the cutter and all of a sudden the tractor started to strain , I shut off the PTO and lifted and pulled into the yard. Apparently I had left a roll of web fence beside the fence and I got into it. You never saw such a mess in your life ,wire around the stump jumper , around the shaft,around the blades. I thought I could clean it up with a wire cutter and after a few minutes realized it would take a year that way. I got my grinder with a cutting blade and after two hours or better I had the bush hog cleared and a big pile of scrap wire. From that day on I always walked the path I would take to ensure there were no big rocks, wire stumps or blocks of wood.
