We have a 630a and just recently bought a new cutter wheel, bearings, and the bolts, pockets, and teeth to switch to the yellow jacket setup. Total was around $1k .$400 for the cutter wheel, $200 for bearings ,and the rest on pockets and a few extra teeth.

I boughta 630B with round teeth, I beleive green teeth. was going to switch to Vermeer Pro but like the round teeth better. Just finished a job with over 100 sumps, hit quite a few rocks and broke only one tooth. Good Luck

Green teeth

Thanks for that info. I have very sandy soil here in Delaware and I actually live in a place called Sandtown. I will probably go with the greenteeth. Understand they work well in sandy soil.

I have a 630B with a wheel off of a 630A (i think) and just put green teeth on it. Works great. My cutting times have decreased alot.

The 630a cutter wheel is 16" and the 630b is 18"...

I'll have to measure it. When i went to order the green teeth set-up from baileys, none of the 630B kits would fit my wheel. Mine is 1/2" wide with 9 pockets, and the 630B's were 1" wide and i think 4 or 6 pockets.

I had a 1/2" X 18" 630B wheel with 9 pockets...

i like the pro teeth myself, i have learned how to sharpen these myself, and have had good results using a green wheel on a bench grinder. One way to tell if they are dull or just not cutting right is to just pay attention to your machine, it will usually have a bad vibration, when teeth are dull or chipped. The pro teeth are also easy to install unlike some of the others on the market.

When did you talk with him? He told me he could retip the yellowjackets about 2 weeks ago.

two options that i can see.

Sandvik wheel or greenteeth.
