Hardest part of any job Reg is getting started
Sure looked good running on the bench... didn't it?!
... then into the pit for trials
This clay is sooooo sticky!!! it's ripping in chunks! and wants to walk up the wall.
I took out half the teeth (4 per row) & tried it, but it still wanted to grab too much & walk. Then I cut the remaining teeth in half (from 12mm to 6mm) that helped, but the clay just doesn't want to crumble or peel away... it's just too sticky.
I knew it from the start that that wide of cutting drum on each side would likely be too much cutting surface... I didn't want to hack up the original Blackwell axle incase it was a total bust of an idea... I'll check with RC4WD to see if I can get just the solid steel shafts that come out of the differential, so I can experiment with different widths of cutting drums... definitely needs to be half the width or less.
Motor got really hot too! need more reduction.
I'll have to ponder awhile, come up with a new plan... in the mean time just keep ripping & digging.
