Bucket cutting edge question

[northcreek2624]

Does anyone have a good source for a replacement cutting edge on my 72" dirt bucket. My present edge appears to be 72 x 3 x 3/8 inches and is a weld on. As long as I have to replace it I'm thinking of adding a little beef and increasing it to 3 x 1/2 or even 4 x 1/2 inches. I would greatly appreciate any input/experiences that you might have...thanks, Mike.

Have you thought about a reversible bolt on cutting edge? It would be worth a look.

I would just grind it back to square or add a Piranha bar to your bucket. They work well. I have one on my bucket and wouldn't do anything with out it.

Go for the heaviest edge (designated edge ) that you can afford. Also put some on the leading side edge of the bucket and about three strips on the bottom of the bucket. It'll give a much stiffer bucket and chances are last longer the original.

Warning -
Based on my past experience -
If you order one of these be prepared to receive it. When I ordered my 72" last year it was delivered QUICK.
I just ordered another one for my B7610.

I just got the Piranha Tooth Bar last week for my BX, it turns the bucket into a completely different animal! Best money I've spent for my BX.

Thanks for the input guys. Tooth bars are a love hate relationship, I hated mine and sent it back. I guess it all depends on an individual's needs. I considered the bolt-on route but, from what I have read most writers discourage it. My Kioti dealer has an edge for $106 which I will check out....Mike.
