Bolt on back hoe teeth

[LindenBruce]

Does anyone know where I can get sharper teeth for my backhoe? They are bolt on style. I have been trying to find something like the Tiger Teeth, but I am drawing a blank on the style that will fit my bucket. It's a standard Branson bucket. Nothing fancy. My soil is either sandstone or hardpan. And it took 4 hours to dig 10 30" deep holes for future trees. There has to be an alternative. Any ideas? Thanks, B.

Hey Bruce. Have you considered taking the teeth to the dentist... I mean machine shop?

Consider soaking the ground for a bit first (won't help with stone but here in the summer our clay gets *hard*)?

OT: have you found a source for tooth replacement? I ordered replacements for mine from my dealer but I've found *nothing* elsewhere and I can find a needle in the haystack of the interwebs.

Alternative for both of us: Weld-on tooth sockets that have pin-on teeth of a variety of styles.

There is one in every crowd (LOL). Yes, I have thought about taking a grinder to the teeth to sharpen then. And that is prolly what I may have to do. It's funny you should mention a dentist, becuase I go there tomorrow. SMH.

Where do I get weld on tooth sockets? B.

I don’t think you’re going to help it much but just take a grinder to them. Maybe take a cutoff wheel to the sides and make them more of a point.

That's sounds good thanks. B.
