So I normally attach a drag harrow to my RCR1860 rotary cutter when cutting the pasture to help break up the horse manure piles. Anyway, yesterday without thinking I backed up over the drag harrow with the cutter turning. Of course, the harrow was broken into about 10 pieces but my bigger concern is the cutter. When I looked at it the two cutting blades were right behind each other. I am not sure but I suspect that the bolts holding the blades were just loosened and if tightened up again they would be fine because it doesn't look like there is any real damage to the cutter or blades. In fact, the harrow getting torn up knocked off some of the built-up grass clippings stuck underneath the cutter housing. I also did turn on the rotary cutter at an idle and it seemed to turn fine.
Is there anything else I should be looking at or should I just tighten up the bolts? Just want to make sure safety precautions are taken before I put this back into full service.
Thanks!
