CAT HM415 teeth?

PLMLLC · May 13, 2015

Does anyone run a CAT HM415 head that has tried aftermarket teeth? I have replaced a bunch with the stock CAT teeth but getting ready to do a full round and was thinking of doing aftermarket. Any thoughts or experiences are appreciated!

I'm not sure if CAT modifies the FAE head. I had a 315 and had a spare set of CAT teeth so I never needed to try aftermarket. If the bolts are the same and the weight of the teeth is the same, I don't see why it would be a big problem. Sorry I can't answer about durability of aftermarket.

Thanks yellowdog. I think the weight is close. I have extra teeth but time to do them all which would be a good time to switch over. Didn't know if anyone had any experience with aftermarket for the CAT head. The CAT teeth for the 415 are bullet proof but blunt. Wondering if there might be some better production ones before going to chipper teeth.
