Pulling teeth

[Crash277]

I have some ditch work to do, anyone just pull the teeth off their backhoe bucket to avoid teeth marks where they are digging? I did a bunch of it already but I’d like it a bit smoother.

You will wear down the teeth mounting spots, then your teeth won’t fit tight anymore and will be harder to keep them on. Better off to make a plate that mounts over your teeth if you want a flat surface.

that was my exact worry. I did debate on making a bolt on edge that was 16” Wide

There’s a thread out here somewhere on this. I think the official name for the bar you’ll be looking for is a “crumbing bar”.

Digging bucket cleanup attachment

Thought I’d share this in case someone else is looking for the same thing I was. I only have a digging bucket with 3 extra large welded teeth on my BH4672 so it’s hard not to leave a lot of loose material in the bottom of a trench. I searched the forums and the internet for quite a while...

I bought another bucket & cut the teeth off of it.

B670 Backhoe Buckets Revisited

Some of you may remember I placed an ad looking for a B670 backhoe bucket, or something similar I could adapt to fit. http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29905&highlight=b670 I will be needing one without teeth for smoothing & contouring on a future job, and I'm reluctant...

It has been very handy, like this:

Driveway Drainage for neighbor

The house across the street from me has virtually the whole back & side yard in concrete, so when it rains, all the runoff from the yard & his roof comes out under his RV gate and into his next door neighbors front yard. That yard is 1/4 minus decomposed granite, which promptly washes out into...

I often tilt my bucket so the teeth are pointing up slightly, than drag it along the bottom to smooth things pretty well...This requires coordination between stick and boom movements, but is not too difficult to get fairly good results.

Just offering a possible work around...

Since you obviously have the bolt on vs weld on teeth, could you just buy a small piece of cutting edge and drill some holes to match? Seems easier than fabbing up a piece of random grade steel. I bet you can buy the width you need too without the need to cut it.

if i make my own plate for it, it wont be a random grade steel. I got a good friend who works with steel for a living, anything heavy duty he helps me build.
