I've had my BH76 Backhoe for almost three months and the teeth are worn down considerably due to the tremendous amount of rocks that are embedded in soil on my mountain property. It might be better to say that there is soil embedded in the rocks and some of you can truly understand this dilemma. I am considering two options. One option is to simply replace the teeth and the other would be to remove the teeth and have them built up by welding like most professionals do with their equipment. I have yet to price the new teeth but I was debating the cost and the convenience factor. It seems like you would have to use quite a few welding rods to build the individual teeth back up and I am assuming that you would want to use a higher grade rod than let's say an E6011 or a E6013. Later this summer I will have my shop built but I still don't own a welder although it is on my list. What is the TBN opinion on the cost benefit factor?
