I purchased a New River wheel for my hydraulic stump grinder to improve the rate of production.  At first it was the improved efficiency that impressed me.  Over time I began to realize the true value of the improved wheel.  Not only do I get more work done in less time, I also use less fuel per stump. This equates to less maintenance per stump and more stumps ground per day.  After several hundred hours I became aware that I was replacing teeth much less frequently.  In fact I have put hundreds of hours on teeth without replacing them as long as I don’t encounter metal in the ground/stump.  By my calculations, stump grinding is producing 5-7% more net profit just by changing the wheel.  This has changed how I look at providing this service for my clients.  When I have needed parts or had questions New River has always responded quickly and been very knowledgeable and helpful.  I now have two machines running the New River wheel.  I wouldn’t consider using any other style of wheel.  When compromise isn’t an option, New River is the smart choice.
