Thanks Curbside, sounds encouraging. What have you done with your dull teeth? Are you sharpening them yourself, sending them out for sharpening or re-tip, or just using them until they're wasted? Withe the sc60 you've got enough power to get away with duller teeth, but the little 252 seems to need sharp teeth to stay effective, at least with the pro-series teeth. Probably won't shatter too many teeth, I hope, with a brush up with steel in a stump either with the 252.
With my pro-series I've been sharpening them myself 4 or 5 times until they're shot. But I'm really looking for the increased cutting speed, less chip spread, and longer tooth wear of the Sandvik wheel. Was thinking about the new yellowjacket teeth but they don't look that much different than the old teeth, other than having two cutting surfaces. They also look very difficult to sharpen yourself.
Trying to get a little more life out of the old 252, until I can get a Kubota 4012, hopefully next year. About to clock over 2200 hours on original Kohler 25hp, still going strong, no smoke or oil consumption between 100 hr changes.
