Question about the sediment load difference after switching from a 6-inch to an 8-inch cutterhead
Honestly, our yardage per hour went up by almost 40% on the same stretch of the James River after we swapped the heads last fall, and I'm trying to figure out if that's typical or if we just got lucky with the soil conditions.

Wait, a 40% jump in yardage just from the cutterhead swap? That's wild! You must have hit the absolute perfect soil type for that bigger head to bite into. Most reports I've seen top out around a 25-30% gain on a good day. Getting that much extra production is like finding free money on the river bottom.
