I have a landpride bh. The u shaped band around the perimeter wall i swear is made from swiss cheese. Has anyone welded a new piece with a little thicker material. Or is it better to patch it?

i dont baby it but pretty careful but the damn thing looks like it spent time getting carpet bombed on a warzone. Thoughts? Thanka

That's the life of a rotary cutter! Some are made heavier then others .There's no reason why you can't weld on some heavier material to the side panels.

I have rebuilt mine so many times only the gear box, most of the 3pt and some of the deck metal is original. It stated out life as a 36 or 38 inch, now it's a 48 inch.
This is the way of the brush shredder.

Mine are dented also. When they get really rough I’m going to remove them and replace with chains.
