Kubota cutting edge for front bucket

Rutcutter · Jul 20, 2017

My dealer that I'm purchasing my new L5460 from has offered me a cutting edge for my front light material bucket for $225 installed.. Do you guys think that's a good deal and is it worth it?

I think it depends on your use. Is this bucket going to be used for daily commercial use or just the occasional around the property project? Sand, light soil, gravel etc.?

If it's your only loader or bucket, yes. All of my smooth buckets have a "boce" or bolt on cutting edge. Cheap money in the long run although if you have plans for a bolt on tooth bar it may interfere with it or make it hard to find one that will slip over it. Some of mine are double edged and reversible. Cutting off and welding back on new c/e is a decent job and just the parts will be the same $$. It will also add considerable strength.

I paid $300 for mine, installed. I scrape the 300 foot paved driveway and it shows a little wear over 2 years. Money well spent.

Utopia its only going to be used like you said and I had no problem with the bucket edge on my last L4330/853 but was wondering if it would be worth the 225 to go ahead and have them install it while its there.

Some buckets have two wear strips running at a right angle to the front. very useful in keeping bucket bottom from wear.

If it makes you feel better about the wear on the bucket and you have the spare cash go for it!

If the bucket is heavy duty already it may not do much except for a lot of wear from scraping on concrete. But, it will strengthen the bottom of the bucket if you are digging out rocks or tree stumps etc. I would get it.

My dealer routinely installs CA 4 buckets on all the compact Kubotas they sell. As a courtesy, they include a replaceable cutting edge for the same price as the Kubota OEM bucket without the cutting edge. I've used both and see no difference. The CA 4's even come in Kubota orange. Ask your dealer to price it out both ways. You might save a few $$
