Well i have brush hoged real rough ground like 4 gas lines at 94 miles each over terrain that a mountain goat would go around and dirt bike could not climb . As for damages to equipment just where do you want to start at . We did this with a 430 case wheel tractor that we rented and our 310G case dozer that had 3pt hitch and PTO and two brand new heavy duty brush hogs . One the wheel tractor we started the job with 600 lbs on the nose after the first round we shut down for the day and back to the case dealer for more ft weight and stacked on 700 more lbs . Can not remember how many tires that we distroyed blew the PTO out four times on it and 6 gear boxes on the hog and a bunch of broken blades and several slip clutches . Knocked the ft end out once on a huge hole above the line ripped a fender off once rolled it over twice . On the Dozer two PTO's four gear boxes and two snapped off stump jumpers and a bunch of blades and several slip clutches . We had to add 2000 lbs to the ft of the dozer to keep the ft. end on the ground on the hills as it did the really steep ones . Now the rule was if the dozer could run over push over ya mowed it and we found out real fast that the hogs were not ment to mow anything over about 3-4 inches . We bid the job at 150 a mile and found out real fast that that was way to cheap . IF you have 5 inch trees get someone with a dozer or track hoe to pluck them out . Oh yea when we were done with that job the hogs were scrap metal and the $30 was well field tested and the under carriage was scrap . Would i ever do that again one word NO.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange.

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