[QUOTE="500K_773, post: 441, member: 33"] Word of warning...the Brushcat WILL find anything that is lying in the area you are cutting. I was cutting an area which had been unkept for the last 16 years since my parents house was built. I ran into old lumber, rebar, and concrete form whaler brackets. I didn't really hurt the blades too bad, but it sure surprises you when metal pieces (whaler brackets) start flying out of the Brushcat. BTW, I priced replacement blades at $135. A set of these may end up in my spare parts kit also. Be sure to keep all people out of the area being cut. I am going to get some KEEP OUT signs made up to warn of flying debris in my work area. Also work in a direction away from houses and vehicles to prevent property damage. The polycarbonate windshield of my enclosed cab do offer limited protection for the operator, but I would be best to police the area first for debris. The growth was too thick for me to be able to see the hidden objects I hit until it was too late. I didn't have a second person able to shoot video during this job, but did try to take some video from the operators position. I'll try edit it and get about a 30 second clip to post in the media gallery. [/QUOTE]
