Spent $200 on a specialty cutter head and it paid off in one shift

I was getting tired of pulling up matted vegetation and trash on the Mississippi River, so I dropped $200 on a serrated cutter head for my dredge. First job I used it on, I cleared a clogged channel near a marina in about 4 hours instead of the usual 12. The old blade would just wrap up with roots and fishing line, but this new one chewed through everything like butter. The owner of the marina even bought me lunch because he was so happy to get his boats moving again. Now I'm wondering if I should of gone for the $350 one with tungsten teeth instead... Has anyone else tried those pricier heads on heavy debris?

That "should of" thing is so nitpicky lol. Anyway yeah I'd go for the tungsten teeth if you got the cash.

Think you meant "should have" not "should of" there.

Used to think "should of" was right but you're totally correct.
