Today was my first day working on the farm in a while. We were getting ready for a new baby and then I spent some time home with mom & the kids, so no farming for me.
Today I took the hay head off our retired fox 3000 so we could use it as a wood chipper. Everything was going well until we were almost done chipping, when the spare shear bar I used 2 months ago to set the knives before doing a little corn and forgot to remove fell into the knives. 2 knives are junk for sure, not sure about the rest yet. If nothing else I'll remove 3 of the 6 knives and use it like that for the wood. I don't have any intentions of using it in the field again, espescially after today...
And to think, we chopped 3 loads of corn with it and then some hay, and even a little bit of bedding with it and the shear bar stayed in place for all that. I guess the 3-4" branches we were feeding in today may have jiggled it loose...

When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
