What this sheet is for

See at a glance how many teeth went on and when, and catch loose pockets and bolts before a tooth leaves the wheel at speed.

Who it is for

Tree surgeons, landscapers, hire yards and anyone running a pedestrian or tracked stump grinder.

How to use it

  1. Fill the specification block from the handbook and the wheel — tooth type, count, pocket part number and the bolt torque your maker gives.
  2. After each job, log what was done to the teeth: rotated, sharpened or replaced, and how many.
  3. Log engine and machine servicing by hours in the lower table.
  4. Use the site column so a job that ate a set of teeth can be traced.

Questions

Why is the tooth bolt torque a blank?

Because it depends on the wheel, the pocket and the bolt, and it is the figure that keeps a tooth on the wheel. Your maker gives it; the sheet gives it a place to be written where it will be seen every time the wheel is worked on.

Why a separate tooth record from the service log?

Teeth wear by the stump, not by the hour. A wheel can go through a set on one hard job and last a month on soft timber, so the tooth record is kept per job and the engine service is kept per hour.
