Overheard a guy at the yard say something about cutterhead teeth that stuck with me
I was waiting on a hydraulic filter at the supplier last Friday and this older operator was talking to the counter guy. He said something like 'if your teeth are sharper, your pump works half as hard.' Never really thought about it that way before. I always just swapped teeth when they looked worn, but now I'm paying more attention to how the cutterhead feels in different sediment. Anyone else keep a closer eye on their tooth profile than they used to?

You sure he wasn't just trying to sell you some fancy new teeth? Sounds like a line the tool truck guys use.

Funny how everything's a sales pitch now, ain't it?
