I found zero issues running a hybrid Knife and Carbide setup. The only thing that comes to mind is horsepower. If on the lower end of HP, then for myself I would be closer to (2) carbide per side. With more HP i see no problem going to a 9-9-9 hybrid setup. Let me know how you set yours up and please report back! What’s good, what you didn’t like and what changed! That would help everyone! 🍻
It’s never a bad idea, but Vic said I can run it just fine. My head was tuned with factory knifes. I’ve got quite a few jobs and a handful of hours running carbide. No issues thus far. But there’s a lot of variables that can affect the outcome. My skid is fairly powerful so that probably helps. Cheers 🍻
@@BulldogTractor im wanting to try carbids mine is 100hp but has more torque then the asv 135 so i should be fine. Knives are nice but sharpening them every 4 hours gets old. Is the better cut really worth it to run knives over carbides? Or can you reprocess material and get same result without fear of rock tearing knives up.
@@zx6rkawi09knifes definitely process the material finer. But from my experience this new profile on the carbide along with how the double DCR bite limiter rings are. It really processes nice. I have hit 1 monster rock. White smoke everywhere. I couldn’t see any signs of carbide damage.
Im wanting to put them on the outside edges cause the way the outside blades wear

What they told me is if you change it you need to retune it
