Replacing The Bush Hog Blades | The Old Ones Weren't Cuttin' It!

On rainy days we try and catch up on some of our shop work. We have been doing some bush hogging this year, but still have a good bit left to do. It has been a while since we have changed the blades so we backed it under the barn and replaced them. Ours is a Rhino FN180 15' batwing bush hog. It takes 6 blades total. 4 of them are the same blade and 2 of them are a different blade. We pulled out our Milwaukee impact to see if it would get the job done and were not disappointed!
Two important things to remember when changing bush hog blades.
1) Safety - The bush hog is probably hooked to hydraulics to raise and lower different parts of it. Hydraulics can fail so make sure you have a back up in place (Jack, locks, blocks etc.).
2) Blade removal - more than likely, the nuts and bolts are left handed thread. This can be very aggravating if you forget.
