Cutting edge

[coupman35]

Looking to but a new bolt on cutting edge on my B2650 bucket. I think Kubota sell them but cant seam to find it on the web site. Does any one in Canada have a good place where we can get them. Any info be nice thanks

Try Messick's look in parts area, Kubota web site and WSM really need work. Even when I have part nos the web site finds nothing

Just call Kubota deal told they have a cutting edge kit whit bolt only 1/2 and one side .Price 268.00 $ plus tax.

Impliment dealers should have them sold by the inch. Get one that痴 much heavier than the original and weld it on. Makes a big difference on bucket stability.

95% of my bucket use is for plowing snow on asphalt. The local heavy equipment shop wanted $400 for cutting edge that was meant for way heavier application. I finally just bought some 1/2”x5” cold rolled flat bar and 5 cutting edge bolts. You drill the hole in the center of the 5” then countersink with a bit large enough for the head to be flush. The plan is to flip it once the one side is worn far enough but after five years I’m only half way there.

I bought a weld on one this winter from Titan ( palletforks.com )
I think it was about $65 for a 60" one when I rebuilt the bucket on our B7500.

Ok. What did I do wrong. I originally tried to weld mine on but it cracked and broke off the first time I used it.

Poorly welded?

Not enough heat in the weld would be my first guess. Pictures of the edge and bucket it after it fell off?
What did you weld it with? Stick, mig, tig? How many amps? How thick was the edge and the bucket?

Mine was a 1/2" thick edge welded to a 3/16" (or possibly 1/4") thick bucket. I stick welded mine on using either 1/8" or 5/32" rods and IIRC 150-200 amps DC.

I welded to the small cutting edge that came on the bucket with a mig. This was 4-5??? Years ago so don’t remember all the details. The weld itself didn’t crack but it broke out of the cutting edge that was originally on the bucket. I just assumed that it was hardened steel and I obviously didn’t know the proper way to weld it.

I think am going to get a 3/4 inch double side bolt on when I find one . Make it one make it right .

If I remember right that is the one I was looking at. You should be able to find that in any length you want at a heavy equipment supply store. Will you have to drill your bucket or is it already predrilled?

 

[coupman35]

Am going to drill the holes.

I just bought a Pallet Forks 60" x 1/2: weld on cutting bar. $70 IIRC shipped to the US.

Well go my cutting edge on the bucket today look good .Only thing am wondering if I shud add some steel bars under or behind to make it even all the way maybe a few flat bars . I also added some hooks and ring inside the bucket. Where good to go now .:cool2:

nice work & equipment
had you considered a bolt on tooth bar, or is the edge more suited to your work?
as far as excavation, have never looked back on mine or missed the bucket edge itself.
good job, hope it serves you well
