We used to run the cutterhead at full tilt on every job, but after a pump clog in the Ohio River last spring, I slow it down for silty bottoms.
The old crew said power through everything, but now I think a steady feed saves wear and parts. Anyone have a rule of thumb for cutter speed versus material type?

Buddy of mine learned that lesson the hard way when his cutter tried to eat a submerged log.

Seriously, could that actually wreck the whole thing?
