Warning: That cheap cutterhead tooth weld can snap mid-dig
Had a tooth break off on a job in Greenville last Tuesday, nearly took out the suction pipe on the way down. Anyone else run into knockoff weld beads failing on older sand and gravel sites?

Buddy of mine lost a tooth on I-95, punched a hole right through the bucket.

That's rough. Losing a tooth is bad enough but on the highway? Whole different level of bad luck. Makes you wonder if people just don't check their gear before heading out anymore. Seen so many guys with cracked helmets or old straps, just hoping nothing happens.
