Wearing and tear is a common thing with stump grinders but it’s unique to Yellow Jacket stump grinders only. But the most affected part of the machine by this problem is the cutting wheel and teeth. What’s important to note is that the rate of wear and tear varies from one machine to the other. But what could be the reason behind such varieties? In this article, we are going to look at some of the reasons why your stump grinder teeth are wearing off very fast. If you are experiencing this problem, here are some of the reasons why this could be happening:
Ground Material
The type of material that the machine is working on could be the reason why your Yellow jack stump grinding teeth are wearing off very fast. In an ideal situation, the machine should work on a tree stump. If the cutting wheel happens to come across anything that is not wood, then it is likely to cause damages to the teeth. The most common materials that are likely to cause damages on your yellow Jacket teeth are stones and metal particles. This mostly happens when the areas around the stump are not properly cleared of the dirt. So the stone and metal particles coming into contact with grinder teeth will definitely destroy it.
Quality of the Teeth
This is another reason that can explain the fast wearing off of your stump grinder teeth. In the market, there are numerous qualities of stump grinder teeth depending on the material manufacturing them. For the newbies in the market, it is very difficult to identify the best quality of teeth for grinding stumps. Maybe you have been replacing your faulty teeth with such low-quality teeth and this could be the reason why they are wearing off very fast. The recommended material for Yellow Jacket stump grinders and other brands’ teeth is the tungsten carbide. The material is also recommended for other stumper grinder parts.
How Machine is Used
The way that the machine is used can also be another reason why you are having problems with its teeth. In this case, we are talking about the experience of the operator. Stump grinding is a very complicated task that requires immense experienced for both grinding and protecting the machine.
