[QUOTE="BeaverMulching, post: 101619, member: 15707"] So please be nice... or at least nice-ish...lol Ok so I've been in the sandwich business for the past 12 years, checking printing for the 26 before that. My store is for sale and I've bought a 2014 T770 with a forestry package and mulching head. I've done a couple of jobs and really enjoyed it. However, this morning I was on some really rough terrain, not sure if that has anything to do with it, and one of the arms the holds the pins out on the bob-tach came up, was knocked up or somehow released itself. I would assume I did except that I have never removed the mulching head so at least this time, its not totally my fault. Anyway, when I backed up, one side was attached and the other was not, thus bending the side bad enough it will not go into place. I was able to beat it enough to mount it well enough to get it back on the trailer but my sandwich artist hands and my 5 lbs hammer could do no more. My mentor is telling me not to waste time or money trying to repair mine and replace it but I don't let go of 12 or 1300 dollars with out lots of pondering. I'm home now and have bigger hammer. Any chances I can beat it into submission and if I do will the metal now weakened to the point point I'm wasting my time? If the answer is buy a new one is my local bobcat the best option, used or salvage an option? Thanks Hal Amick Beaver Mulching Gently clearing your overgrown areas! [/QUOTE]
