Quick chance blades sound interesting, but with Woods quality you will be getting a good squealer if you get median duty or above. I really can't see quick change needed cause blades are not very easy to break. I may have broke a couple blades through the years and I had it were it should not have been then.

I'm wondering if he is talking about a disc mower and not a bush hog. Several brands of disc mowers have quick change blades now.
You maybe on to something. I did do a search on their website and seen where they make akenny thomas said:
Flail Shredders, but could not find a disc mower currently being made. Who knows?????????, but if they come out with a quick change stump jumper a lot will be interested.

They make some cutters that say "quick change" blades, but I could not find one that is 10'. They advertise it on their single spindles and some bat-wings.

I am not sure why you would need "quick change" on a shredder though.

I dont know about the blades but we have a woods batwing and it's a good machine.

Don't necessarily "need" quick change, but like any other convenience why not if it makes life easier.sstterry said:

Never seen a quick change. Send some pics if you get it. I'm learning something new every daygertman said:
Other than replacing a completely trashed/mangled blade, I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the need for a quick change blade on a bush hog. I just touch mine up with a 4-1/2" grinder on occasion.
Seriously, how often do you expect to change blades? And is the convenience worth the high probability of a weaker blade retention system?

I agree that a shredder/bush hog blade is something I do Not wanting coming off quickly.
My experience with a 10' Woods cutter was not good. It vibrated terribly from day one even after removing the blades. Initially it did not have rubber couplings. My dealer did an upgrade to rubber couplers that helped the vibration some. It also leaked grease from the two outboard gearboxes from day one. After 3 months my dealer took it in on trade for what I paid for it and bought a Rhino. It has been a great cutter.
