Your belief is great for the tractor or something like that.
I guess I know my place now.
To the OP: I see no reason it can't be bent back into shape. It is heavy square tubing and flat steel. This is not Ti, or T-11 that is used on the blades of dozers and loaders, or armor plate. If you are worried about it, spent another $20 and have it mag particle tested.
