The Science Explained
Engineered Angles Of Attack
Since the 1970s, mining/construction drums use conical teeth mounted in angled holders. Those built-in attack angles keep every impact in compression and protect the carbide from side loads.
Power rakes cut both directions, a proper attack angle was impossible with conical teeth… until now.
Power rakes weld the same conical teeth straight upright—no attack angle, zero protection. Rocks hit sideways, shear the braze joint, tooth fails.
Every power rake attachment manufacturer uses the same obsolete tooth design.
Carbide on the Soilcon tooth is back up by steel. The factory bit has nothing backing it up.
Impact from the side is the main point of failure.
With nothing supporting the tip, it breaks off. Game over.
Attack angles are built into the Soilcon Tooth. Since the carbide is backed up it can take much more abuse, resulting in substantial increase of useful life.
