I have a row of holes on the front of the 64 inch bucket. They look factory drilled and spaced. I’m not sure if I should pick up a toothed blade to protect the front of the bucket. I have zero experience, except the 4 hours of seat time. Not including the online research that has me confused. I’d like to protect the bucket if possible and I will be moving piles of fill, that includes chunks of asphalt, concrete, stone. Then grading it the best I can. I see a few toothed blades online and was wondering if all the holes would match on the aftermarket ones or should I visit my local dealer for one.

You can probably get a reversible bolt-on edge from you dealer, just need the bucket part number. Or, get a straight, toothed or serrated edge aftermarket. You'll need to measure the length (add maybe a little to protect the bucket corners), hole spacing, and hole size. It'll be a special order.

I reversed mine and it's starting to show a little wear near the ends already. I haven't used it very much, and that's all dirt, no rock, so I definitely recommend one.

I have the Piranha. Increases performance digging and cutting through roots in addition to protecting the factory edge. I haven’t beat on a lot of large rocks or chunks of concrete with it so can’t say how it would hold up to that. I know it’s good with potato size rocks. Took less than 30 minutes to install.

Thank you for the advice. So it just slips over the front edge and bolts on the sides of the bucket ?

Exactly. The side of the bucket isn’t very hard to drill.

I made this one. It was relatively easy/fun to make.

Honestly, I only made it cause I thought it looked cool... :giggle:

Recently I was digging a pile of dirt with the regular blade when it dawned on me that I had made this thing, and it was just sitting there in the barn.

So I put it on and WOW...it made a huge difference.

It slips over the edge and is bolted onto the sides as well.
