The 21 SYL tooth is designed for smaller and medium construction machinery:
| Machine Type | Typical Application |
|---|---|
| Mini / Midi Excavators | Digging buckets on 3 to 8-ton machines. |
| Backhoe Loaders | Rear digging buckets (standard). |
| Skid Steer Loaders | Front buckets with ESCO 21 adapters. |
It is crucial to check if the bucket adapter belongs to the ESCO size 21 system.
Mounting this tooth requires an appropriate lock, usually type 21LK (horseshoe/Quadrilok) or a pin+plug set (for Vertalok version), depending on the specific adapter type.
Using teeth until they are completely worn exposes the adapter to direct contact with the spoil, leading to its rapid destruction. Replacing adapters is much more expensive than timely tip replacement.
ESCO SYL teeth are the primary working tips of the bucket.
