Why owners do it
Sharp teeth dig faster and put less strain on the machine. Owners also add side cutters for clean trenches or a bolt-on edge for grading.
What is involved
- Check the tooth system and adaptor type on the bucket.
- Replace worn teeth and pins as a set.
- Fit side cutters or a bolt-on edge if the bucket has the mounting holes.
Typical parts
- Teeth and retaining pins matched to the adaptor
- Side cutters
- Bolt-on cutting edge
Check before you start
- Wear gloves and eye protection when driving pins.
