There are two main types of bucket teeth for excavators: rock and earth. Each type is intended for different types of digging. A rock bucket has teeth that dig into soil or other hard objects. Rock buckets use low alloy steel. A high-alloy bucket is made with higher amounts of iron and chromium, which reduces wear and increases strength. Earth buckets use austempered ductile iron, and have been heat-treated for wear and impact strength.

The forged bucket teeth offered by Carter excavators are designed to minimize the physical effort required by the operator. They are typically offered as an alternative to the cast bucket teeth that are found in most excavators. The forged bucket teeth are stronger and longer-lasting than the cast bucket teeth. They are also easier to replace if needed. If you have a machine that has worn bucket teeth, consider replacing the whole unit.

A good bucket tooth set should come with all necessary hardware. Complete bucket teeth will ensure convenience and quality. It is also essential to know the dimensions of the existing bucket teeth so that they match. An incorrect fit can damage equipment, inefficiencies, and make operation of the machine uneconomical. Make sure the bucket teeth fit properly before you order them. You do not want to waste money and time replacing the wrong bucket teeth. You can find a complete set of bucket teeth at a reputable dealer.
