Can we break a Brush Mower by cutting full sized trees, heavy brush, stumps & whatever we find

What happens here

The engineer demonstrates the unique design of the spinning blade. He explains that it acts like a 'hatchet,' utilizing the mass of the 700-pound blade carrier to transfer energy to the trees. The blades are thick, wide pieces of AR400 steel, dual-sided, and rotate 360 degrees, allowing them to retract upon impact, which prevents slowdowns and maintains momentum. This design ensures continuous, powerful mowing.

Goal: Detail the blade's construction and how it functions during operation.

word of wisdom is we're saying so what's the benefit of having a blade spin pulley well it acts a little bit more like like a hatchet and if you didn't have the blade spin if you hit something movable or even when you hit trees you want that thing you give a little bit we're using the mass of the blade to transfer the energy to the tree so this is a very thick and wide piece of AR 400 seal that's got a bevel on both sides there's four of these blades on the perimeter so they're the primary cutting tools notice that a dual sided bladers at a single set yeah it's dual so it means there's or does that rotate all the way around them oh yes yes 360 degrees there's a there's a cavity in here so as that spinning that whips the blades out and then as they hit a tree the give is in the blade then right at point the blade carrier is about seven hundred pounds and so once that gets spinning you have a lot of energy there it doesn't slow down as much that's the benefit great so when you keep the speed up the energy up and you just keep right on one so you've got this tree down look at the size of this tree guys it's a full-grown poeple tree and it's a brush more it's
