I wound up getting 65 hours out of one side, before I flipped the teeth over. I believe if I had a hood/door, on this dcr I could have got another 10 hrs or so out of the teeth. They would still cut not great but they would cut just wouldn't process well, because of the space between wat was left of the teeth an the counter teeth. I had to go over it a few more times to get the finer size mulch, it was producing with the teeth in better shape. The hood/door would solve tht problem, but if I can average 65 hrs per side I going to be a happy camper.

Man you wore them down pretty well to nubs!

How much do the teeth cost?

Defiantly got the best out of them lol, but they still were cutting tho. Just didn't think they would last another full day, Lynn Hendrix sells the Samurai for $31.50

So ~$7.27/hr on tooth wear.... that's pretty good, only a little higher than my stump grinder. I wonder how long the depth control disks will last.

Another benefit of having a door/hood on your mulcher is that you can get a smaller product with less passes saving a whole lot of track wear if working hourly or time if working contract.:2cents:

Ok. guys bear with me I am new to this community so if i screw up this first post cut me some slack. I was doing some research on a value of a trade in Fecon ftx90fm and came across this post and could not help but find a way to communicate some new changes in mulching. Yes these companies you refer to have made some good machines but there is a way better and more efficient and cost effective ways. Prinoth / AHWI, our machines have patented mechanical drive technology that will outperform any hyd. driven machine in the market. Longer tool life, higher production. I have a RT200 in the yard with our rock tooth and have over 50 hr. hardly any tooth wear. I have ran one of our raptor 800's in Texas that has 450 hrs. On the teeth and they still have not been flipped over. I challenge you look at you tube under Prinoth AHWI RT200 or raptor 800 and see what you think we are doing live demos in Texas and Oregon if want to see what is new.

I would love to get a RT200 but the minister of finance says " yer to dam old and you'll be dead before you pay it off"

how do you figure tooth life is excellent fuel consumption is lower, engergy transfer is better,no over heating in hot weather, is the purchase price what makes you think they are exspensive?

ok guys bear with me I am new to this cummunity so if i screw up this first post cut me some slack. I was doing some resurch on a value of a trade in fecon ftx90fm and came across these post and could not help but find a way to communicate some new changes in mulching. Yes these companies you refer to have made some good machines but there is way better and more efficent and cost effective ways. in the last year the people who licened to fecon some of there technology has come to the usa on there own. Prinoth purchased AWHI our machines have patented mechanical drive technology that will out perform any hyd, driven machine in the market. longer tool life, higher production. I have a rt200 in the yrad with oour rock tooth and have over 50 hrs hardly any tooth wear. i have ran one of our raptor 800s in texas that 450 hrs on the teeth and they still had not been flipped over. I challenge you look at you tube under prinoth awhi rt200 or raptor 800 and see what you think we are doing live demos in texas and oregon if want to see what is new.

Texas is a big place. What part of Texas? In my area, tooth wear is a big issue (TX Hill Country) with limestone and flint rock and rock hard dead oaks.
