I've welded the crap out of the original bucket. Teeth and cutting edge have broke several times. This last time it broke 3 teeth/shanks off. So I called kubota insurance and they gave me a claim number that I gave my dealer and they ordered a new one. Also, I needed a bucket now so they told me to weld the old one up best I could to get by, but that they needed it for ins adjuster....And said I could get it back when they are done with it, which is good because its lasted digging through the frozen tundra we have.
So I need this new one to be stronger. It seems they skimped on the build of it, the shanks are not welded to front of cutting edge, the supports that run the length of bucket are not welded continuously.
