The cutting edge is the primary wear part of the bucket, making direct contact with the ground. Its job is to protect the front of the bucket from wear and to ensure efficient digging and grading. If your bucket is leaving material behind, is unable to grade a surface precisely, and its leading edge is rounded, cracked, or worn down to the bucket's shell, it's time for a replacement. Continuing to operate with a worn cutting edge leads to irreversible damage to the bucket structure, which results in a very costly repair.

The accuracy and quality of materials guarantee long and trouble-free use without the need for frequent replacement.
A new cutting edge is the cheapest way to protect the much more expensive bucket structure from irreversible wear.
A sharp cutting edge restores the machine's factory performance, reducing work time and fuel consumption.
Welding abrasion-resistant steel requires extensive knowledge and the right materials. Always entrust this work to a qualified welder.
Before welding, the old bucket edge must be cut off, and the new surface thoroughly cleaned and beveled to ensure deep penetration.
Special low-hydrogen electrodes or welding wire must be used for welding HB400 steel to avoid cracks in the weld.
When replacing the cutting edge, inspect the condition of the teeth and side cutters. Replacing the entire bucket GET ensures maximum performance.
Answer: Yes. A worn, "rounded" cutting edge is unable to grade a surface precisely. A new, sharp edge completely solves this problem.
Question: Can I hardface my old, worn cutting edge?Answer: It is a short-term and inefficient solution. Hardfacing will not restore the original hardness or profile, and the new layer will wear off quickly. Replacing it with a new HB400 steel edge is much more durable.
Question: What is HB400 steel?Answer: It is a high-quality, abrasion-resistant steel with a Brinell hardness of 400, commonly used in the production of earthmoving equipment. It is significantly more wear-resistant than standard structural steel.
