Has anyone ever tried running to different types of teeth on the same drum? I love running chippers but i hate like heck sharping them i was thinking about running my Quadco Chipper in the center of my drum For cutting larger material an running King Kong Planner Carbides or double tipped Carbides on outsides of the Quadcos so i'll only have 10-12 to sharpen verses 38. Anyone ever try this or had any luck? Worried it mite throw the fae drum off balance.
Change them all.
I just swapped out the original carbides with planer carbides on the entire drum. Made a world of difference; no jams, smaller chips, drum stays spinning longer. Would have saved a lot of fuel & time over the last few years if I had switched sooner.
It would be best to weigh both types of teeth before changing anything. I know the new Fecon/AHWI are interchangeable but FAE I'm not shaw of. You could end up with a machine that's got Parkinson Disease.:laughing:
Do you have enough hours on the teeth yet for good data? I've thought about those but was concerned that they would chip easy and become a typical carbide hammer pretty quick.
