You cite ONE example as empirical evidence.
I own and operate a commercial mowing business where we mow highway right-of-ways. My crews/mowers collectively log over 15,000 hours a year. About 1/3rd is with single spindle 6', or 7' mowers, plus a couple 8' twin spindle cutters. Early on, when I was getting the business up and running, I used Woods mowers primarily. My yearly repair cost was in excess of original purchase cost on many of the mowers I mentioned. I've since changed over to Bush Hog and Shulte brand mowers and have cut repair cost to less than 1/10th over the cost of the Woods mowers. This is based on (currently) 12 mowers and more hours in a season than most mowers see in a lifetime of personal use.
The Woods mowers I owned didn't even make it through second season of commercial use. (BB7200's, BB8400's) I have several 300 and 400 series Bush Hog mowers that are currently in 7th season with no signs of fatigue or failure.
When comparing batwing mowers, the advantage goes even more disproportionately to Bush Hog/Shulte/Rhino (Alamo Brand) Woods very best batwings don't compare to Bush Hogs lightest duty batwings.
It only took ONE Deere batwing to cross them off the list permanently.

An improperly torqued capscrew on an engine head or a shear bolt that is too hard on the driving shaft of a bushog can create havoc and make an expensive and uncalled for repair. Let�s examine the purpose and design of these fasteners in order to ensure their proper use. Fasteners are probably one of the aspects of mechanics that is given the least amount of thought.
