multi tip
i change a pair of pro teeth at £16 a pop plus vat from b track , now i change 4teeth at a cost of £8 plus vat , and afraction of time dont get your point , this is the kind of crap i read all time, iwill try this system out if it is no good and does bearings and belts in will let you know , been stump grinding for 15 years and seen new machines wrecked by bad operators who blame machine

hi rollacosta why is it a bad move to fit multi tip, tell me why and save me some money.

Everyone I know who has fitted a multi-tip on a larger grinder has gone back to the original wheel,the Duradisk is just as bad,my mate used a Carlton with the Duradisk he said it cut real slow..

multi tip
i can understand going back if it its not for them , iwas told get green teeth all singing and dancing stump cutter teeth, fitted them to a rayco 1620 they were slower than basic tooth needed a truck for chippings and bearings went home so will keep open mind on multi tip if its crap ive tried them .

multi tip
if it trials good thats ok for me, its faster quicker to change teeth cheeper than pro teeth, and cost £350 to get started dura disc is £700 with no vat and the teeth ar exstra multi tip is a good idea thats cheap , means more time and profit , if i do a 3 foot oak and think its crap, i will tel you other stumpers so you dont waste your money

Come back to me when you've seen the duradisk cut with slightly dull teeth..

so in theory all the new research is to poo!!!! is not thousands of pounds worth of research worth a jot.......can green teeth/pro teeth have had the design right from the off?......duradisc/multitip are all rubbish (in theory)..... how will we progress?.....what is the next step forward??

Stumpy66..........I will agree that wheel setup has an impact on grinding efficiency, but the more power you have to turn the wheel the less you worry about the wheel setup. Lets face it, 100 horsepower will shread a stump. Lower power grinders must cut the wood and higher power machines just tear it apart with dull teeth. If you want more performance, get a higher power machine. If you are making money with what you have, then its working for you. When you cant keep up with your work load, a higher power machine is the way to go. I will agree that using a more efficient wheel setup is a plus but more power is a plus also.

multi tip
multi tip works, i now use it , and have had no problems yet ,i keep loads of spare teeth for my machines belts tools ect in back of disco ,only major failures i cant deal with . teeth always sharp never have cutter head bounce thats the same for any wheel or machine,

todd, you are spot on with high machine power covering up cutting disc inadeqacies. but all these new cutting systems cannot all be rubbish....i think all have their place....it would be good if an independant group could get together and test them back to back....the arb mags are probably the only ones that could afford to do it...but are they that bothered about stump grinders?....

Longer lasting teeth.
Surely if something better was out there Vermeer,rayco or Carlton would have invented it..

multi-tip is much better on my dosko than finger teeth...+ wheel design.....i am better off with multi-tip.....even though i don't like the company....innovation...and proper evaluation is where it is at.......fair play to the folk that spend a fu*k load on money making cutting easier......arborplant included....if i works better...then let the world know...
this is where specialist work....you want a stump taken out..call a specialist....

multi tip
cleared two large stumps one 3 foot one 4 foot with all butre s roots over 4x4 meters sq with depth of 2foot used vemmeer 252 with multi tip changed 2x teeth . cleared base for swimming pool changeing room two ton digger helped a bit but not with stumps or big roots, no belt failure teeth lasted well in clay and flint bearings ok it really cutts fast even at funny angles no wear on wheel teeth change very quick ,job 5hours all in slowed down by digger will fit one to my new carlton i think

I know two people who run the Dura Disk on a Carlton and they both say the cutters last far longer than the other teeth they have tried. I have no experience with this wheel myself other than one time I demoed one. It cuts very well but it did not cut any faster than my current setup. The reason they say the teeth last so long on the Dura Disk is because the size of the carbide on the cutter is twice as large as most other teeth and because of the durability of the teeth at this size, the carbide can be of a harder grade without breaking. Is there anyone else reading this that can attest to this statement? I'm just relaying what my friends say as I have little experience with this wheel.

dura disc
hi i was going to bye a sandvic dura disc the price is £1000 plus vat and £10 a tooth a bit to dear i think , at moment so i fitted multi tip , the only way to find out if these wheels are any good is to fit one or to see a demo speak to someone who has fitted one and has cained it on every kind of stump

I've run the Dura Disk all summer and am very impressed. The carbides are extremly rugged. They take a pounding on rock, concrete and steel. They seem to keep cutting when hitting concrete and rock. They are more likely to break when they hit substantial steel but often just chip. I take the cutter off and put it on the other side of the disk and just keep using the other edge. The carbide is at least twice as large. I am very glad I switched over from Vermeer Pro teeth to the Dura Disk. Switching teeth are a breeze, the disk cuts great and can take huge bites and the chips seem to be well contained and are often very small chips making handling much easier. For me it was worth the money and I felt it was not overly expensive to change over.
