Large dredges start to see some wear after about 400 hours of running on larger riffled mats like Riverhog, but it's just a slight bit of rounding. Commercial ops generally get about two seasons if running full time and running bare mats.
Hi Doc... please confirm this... in a larger dredge ...say 8 inch with up to 6 to 7 inch cobbles tumbling along the mat, you will expect to be seeing some wear after 400 hours?
I have an 8 inch triple side by side...
I ask because I am in the process of converting some "moss under large expanded mesh" to "yukon under lthe same large expanded mesh" but I am also considering say 18 inches of unprotected river hog or such at the tail end of the main sluice box... your thoughts?
