RED TEETH - GREEN TEETH WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

The Red Teeth (Reds) are a deeper dished tooth designed around soft woods such as pine. They offer a tremendous sheering action and a very smooth cut. They carry an edge very well and using them can be like adding horsepower to your machine.

The Green Teeth (Greens) excel in rocky soil. They take a shock very well. The dish, or concave, is similar to the angle found on standard ½" shank teeth. The only difference between the Red and Green is the angle of the carbide. The grade of the carbide, the way they're made, and materials they are made with are all the same, as is the price.

Every series of Greenteeth® has its own Red and Green style tooth. 

Will the New Tap & Turn™ teeth work with the older series of pockets?
No, the Tap & Turn™ teeth will only work with its corresponding LoPro™ pocket. I.e., a 700 Tap & Turn tooth will only work with a 700 LoPro™ pocket.

What should I torque my bolts to?
The Smartbolt™ which is for use with the LoPro™ pockets only should be torqued to 150 Foot Pounds. 

The GreenBolt® and Allen Head Cap Screw can be used in the pockets whose teeth require a nut should be torqued to 180 Foot Pounds. 

DO NOT over-torque the bolts!  Over-torqueing the bolts will cause them to stretch.  If you do over-torque a bolt, discard it.  Torque them again after 10 hours of use, and then again after every day's work for the first 2-4 days after installing the pockets.  This ensures that the bolts become securely seated.

What should I torque my teeth to that require a nut to hold it to the pocket?
Insert the tooth, carbide facing down, through the bore of the pocket.  The shoulder on the tooth should seat on the detent in the pocket.  Install the nut and torque to the Series specifications below.

500 Series-130 to 190 Inch Pounds
700 Series-20 to 28 Foot Pounds
900 Series-31 to 43 Foot Pounds
1100 Series-45 to 62 Foot Pounds

Once you have the feel for the proper tightness of the nut, you can use an open-end or a box wrench in the field to remove or rotate your teeth. 

GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR GREENTEETH®

Although GREENTEETH® are designed to handle the harshest work conditions, keep this fact in mind: For every (1) second your teeth are in concrete or stone compares equally to holding your tooth on a green wheel for 10 seconds.  Carbide, regardless of manufacturer, wears down faster in rocky soil.  Use good sense and remove hazards when possible.

When grinding in known rocky soil, the GREENTEETH® system offers a good alternative to exposing your sharp cutter teeth to inevitable damage.  Simply replace your outermost cutters with used dull teeth.  As your carbide tip becomes rounded (dull) its impact resistance actually increases greatly, making "dull" teeth the perfect tool for rocky conditions.  Then swap your innermost teeth with the outers and you are quickly back to grinding at maximum efficiency.
