How many bowed down buckets have you seen? Neighbor has a 10 year old TLB and boy is his bucket bent, told me he wishes hr had added one. I paid $150 for the cutting edge for my BX-2370 3 or 4 years ago, silly dealer tried to convince me I could just buy a new bucket for >$200 and then replace that one when it got too bent. My bucket is still straight.
Tried to dig, but found out that's a loosing proposition. so I added a wicked tooth bar. NOW I can dig.
