Stick welding 11-25-2012 19:55:36 96.53.210.246 Report to Moderator	Re: Bucket Teeth in reply to Case Nutty 1660, 11-25-2012 17:35:31   I remember working at a job and there was a disagreement on welded bucket teeth. For a backhoe application, the thicker flat side goes up and does the digging. On something like a skid steer or maybe a front end loader, the thick piece goes on the bottom so it leaves a flat surface. I hate the welded teeth on my skid steer because the thinner part wears thin and the teeth rip off. On backhoes the welded teeth are known to break as well. On a backhoe putting the thicker piece on the bottom would make them break a lot easier. [Reply]  [No Email]
