I ran over this steel bar today. I’ve mowed maybe 50 times in the last 3 plus summers and never hit it before. It’s about an inch across and ten inches in visible length. No damage to the mower but I bet the blade is dull.

That is going to take some work to get that blade back into shape :o

Quick, run out and get a lottery ticket. You might win enough to pay for the new set of blades.

Good thing there is no damage to the mower. Blades are reasonably cheap to replace. I've hit invisible rocks that cost me a blade. :shock:
