In the heat of the construction season, it is important that your equipment is operating properly and is well maintained. A vital aspect of maintenance involves replacing worn-down bucket teeth.
Excessively worn down bucket teeth can hinder the digging performance of equipment, causing your machine to exert more effort. Using worn down bucket teeth is like trying to use a dull blade to cut a piece of wood, it takes more muscle and power for the machine to function.
There are ways to prolong the life of bucket teeth. Using the correct teeth for the job is the best way to extend the life of the teeth. Sharp bucket teeth help your equipment operate efficiently, have a longer life, and lower maintenance costs.
When replacing a bucket tooth it is important to replace the mounting pin. The shank should also be inspected for wear and tear. Operating with a missing bucket tooth can potentially cause irreversible damage to the shank, which can make it impossible to replace the tooth. To prevent the need to operate equipment with missing teeth, keep a supply of extra teeth and accessories on hand so it is easy to replace when necessary.
