Excavator Bucket Help

[Treemow]

I have been noticing online excavator buckets that do not have teeth, instead they have a single serrated bar or monotooth. Who makes these. Thanks in advance.

You can have a bucket made any way you like the cutting edge can be flame cut to what ever specs you want. Buy a clean up bucket and have a custom cut cutting edge put on it.

Steel is easy to play with all it takes is a good welder that knows how to work with harden steel.

Rezloh has a cutting edge with tiny teeth, I've seen a few excavators here that use those dges, good for hrad digging where you don't want to leave tooth marks everywhere.

Thanks Ron. They seem to be made of a very hardy steel.

I use a Rezloh on my 465. Couldn't be without it.

I've seen attachments that bolt outside the teeth. I wonder if the Rezloh is weldable.

For those of you that know burnout from HEF and watch his vids, are those Rezloh teeth that were on that 450 Hitachi he was running?

A very hard cutting edge is best to be bolted on to weld hard steel is tough and time consuming if its not done correctly you can have problems.

You have a high wear resitant steel but the trade off is its brittle or can be brittle steel because it is so hard. Regular mild steel will bend before it breaks because its softer so it also wears out faster.

Depending on what you are doing. Working in processed gravel like in a mine will wear out a bucket faster because the gravel is more abbrasive after being washed and or crushed.

Here where your dealing with blast rock or loose solid rock you need teeth its not uncommon to snap off teeth or snap teeth shanks off buckets. I have seen excavator buckets with the bottom torn out from digging blast rock.

The other common bend point is the lugging on the bucket distorts from the excessive stress.

Personally I never seen a Rezloh cutting edge most contractors here make their own cutting edge out of 3/4 or 1 inch T-1 steel. Loader buckets in the gravel mines use spade buckets. The spade bottom on a loader bucket will dig far better than a square front bucket.

Here you need teeth on a excavator bucket that Rezloh edge wouldn't dig any better than a standard clean up bucket. When your working a rock crack you need teeth.

Yes those are, there are a lot of companies up there that use them, their soil is miserable to dig through when the moisture content and compaction is at the wrong level.
