Got talked into trying a cutter head with replaceable teeth at a job on the Mississippi last week
I always ran a solid steel cutter head on my dredge, figured it was tougher. Then a guy I work with on a harbor project near Baton Rouge convinced me to try a tooth-style head for a sand and gravel job. After 4 days of pulling up way more material without the head slowing down, I changed my mind completely. Has anyone else switched from solid to tooth-style cutters and noticed a real difference in output?

Nah man, solid steel still wins on clays and hard bottom.

That tooth style head really seems to make a difference in sand and gravel. I have seen the same thing on a few jobs down here. The material just flows through a lot better than a solid head. It is definitely worth trying if you have the chance.
