Lost a cutterhead tooth last week on the Mississippi

Hit something buried in the silt near St. Louis and the tooth snapped clean off. Anyone else had luck with the bolt-on kind vs the welded ones?

Man I used to swear by welded but after seeing this Im switching to bolt-on!

Damn, that snapped clean off? I've seen bolts shear before but not the whole tooth. @phoenix29 I'm with you on switching, welded ones have let me down more than once on the Missouri.

Bolt-ons are good but you still gotta check the torque every shift, @margaret_jackson73. Ive seen bolts work loose even on the Missouri, not just the Mississippi.
