Just out of curiousity...how do you know this was a "cheap" bucket and not one that was abused?

Good question. Sure does look like something went way wrong.

The website I got it from called it a cheap bucket? looks weak to me

From the irregular spacing it looks like the teeth were added on. Who's to say whether it was just used beyond it's intended purpose?

Judging by the picture I'd appraise that bucket at about 2.5 cents per pound. It doesn't get cheaper than that.

I wouldn't call that a cheap bucket. It looks like it was abused. The only way to pop UP the teeth is to angle the bucket sharply to completely down and back drag. Hitting something in that configuration will cause that damage. The Bucket is also a light duty bucket with a thin cutting edge. But even a thick cutting edge (3/4" and up) can break into multiple pieces. My old ford edge was in 8 separate pieces when I cut it out, not counting the prevous weld repairs.

Could be wrong in this case as I don't know about the background, but it looks like that to me.
