Found a simple way to keep my cutterhead from clogging on soft clay

I was running a job down near Baton Rouge last month and kept having to stop every 45 minutes to clean out the cutterhead. The sticky clay was just building up and killing my production. Someone at the dock told me to spray it down with a mix of water and dish soap before each shift. Tried it and I only had to stop twice in a whole 10 hour day. Has anyone else found a trick for dealing with real sticky material like that?

Spraying with diesel works great too, keeps everything sliding right off.

Buddy of mine tried that on his tractor. Said it worked real good for a couple weeks then it just started attracting grime and dirt like crazy.
