Well the weather finally cleared up enough for me to get some experience with this thing.
I tackled a couple of rotten stumps and wouldn't you know, I busted the middle tooth off already. 6 hrs on the clock now. My guess is it had a flaw in the metal because there were no rocks in the hole, just damp dirt and rotten wood and it broke off at the thick part not the end. The shank is OK so the dealer is sending me a couple of new teeth gratis.
Now I get to figure out how to go about changing them. Heat it with a torch and bang it off with a hammer and do the reverse to install I suppose.
