New tier 4 diesels on woodmizers

[YellowHammer]

That's a lot cheaper than I'm getting the Double Hards, although I haven't bought any in a awhile.  

I'd have to say, and this is what I'm thinking right now, so my opinion can change tomorrow, if I could get Double Hards and Silvertips at the same price, I'd still probably run Silvertips.  The money I lose on DH fatigue breaks tearing up my band wheel belts even more offsets the costs and makes the Silvertips more attractive.

I really think the double hardening process makes them much more fatigue prone after several sharpenings.  

This is still an experiment in progress, but so far so good.

I will probably try some silvertips on my next blade purchase.

Mr. YH
I'm running the 1.25 x .042 t7 silver tips hard in frozen red pine and ash that's been on the ground 2 years.
I won't buy another Double hard.
The silver tips cut great for me. I buy them for $16 .00 for a lt 40 wide. 
I don't use them for anything over 24" wide.
I go to a 1.5 x .050 x 8 °
Or frost notch 1.25 x .50 x 7.5°
The .050 most alway break after one sharpening. 
3 x on the 8°

Bruno, that's good information. Thank you.
