Spent 3 hours unclogging a cutterhead before I learned this one trick from an old timer

Was fighting a jammed cutterhead on the Miss River job last week, tried everything. Old guy named Ray told me to reverse the rotation for 30 seconds then hit it with a burst forward, cleared right out. Anyone else got a weird trick that saves them time?

Buddy of mine tried that reverse trick on a dozer blade and snapped the hydraulic line clean off.

Learned that lesson the hard way too @emery_young13, so now I always crack the relief valve first before trying anything.
