How to find the right type of the buck tooth and wear system or the excavator buckets
for different material you have to use different type of bucket tooth, dirt can be standard tooth. for example Caterpillare 320, it takes the teeth 1U3352 or 9N4305, but if work on rock you have to use the rock type 1U3352RC or 1U3352TL. For sure in order to protect your bucket well you can use the lip shroud, hell shroud, protector and chocky bar as well, if that you will have a great performance on the bucket and save cost finally.
How to save the cost
Choose the right bucket tooth is very very important. Such as ESCO, Caterpiller, Volvo those leading companies always have new system, but you know it costly. Our suggestion is use the right G.E.T system, Caterpiller J-series, it’s the most popular wear parts for your buckets, very easy to find from the local market and always cheaper. When the teeth run out, you have to replace the bucket tooth, please note that the pin and retainer usually can be used again, and also the adapters. But be carefully if the nose run out please place a new set of adapters, otherwise the new bucket tooth may break.
