Note regarding scale - the mower deck is 2.2 meters wide, the snapped shaft is is about 40mm, and the bent brace is 25 mm steel rod. It was turning at 540 RPM with 75HP behind it when it hit the rock which she hadn't been able to move herself (say 100+ KG). Nothing hit her (a very good thing) or the vulnerable parts of the tractor (also good), Praise Finagle!
