Got my cutterhead 3 months ago, finally see the difference

I swapped in a new cutterhead on our 6-inch rig back in August. The old one was worn down bad from all the sand and gravel we pull out of the Rogue River. First few weeks I didn't notice much, but now we're pulling 30% more material per hour. The teeth are holding up way better than the cheap ones we ran before. Anyone else see a big jump in production after swapping heads?

Honestly that 30% bump sounds about right. New teeth make a huge difference.

Yeah @miamitchell you're spot on. That confidence boost alone is worth it, let alone being able to actually chew things properly.
