Forage harvesters have this issue - stone pickup - but at least thats  an excuse , woodchip wearing steel ?? K

on my vermeer 1800xl the drum pocket right under the knife where the chip shatters must be made of a mild steel as it concaved itself so badly i had to get it built back up and then hard faced as well. 

Chipper had only 1200 hours or so at the time but mostly is machine fed and we will chip very large wood as well
