Backhoe Rock Teeth for Backhoe

[Chris86314]

Does anyone know of any rock teeth that would fit my B3200 TLB or a web site link. I've done a couple Google searches but all I can find are rock teeth for big tracked excavators. I looked on Northern Tool and can't find any either.

They would have to fit my 16 inch bucket (or any Kubota bucket).

I have a lot of decomposed granite in the area and some veins go to the blue granite which is very hard. If you grab it just right it will break out in chunks easily but the regular teeth on the BH just won't grab and tend to slide over the top which takes forever to break it out (and a lot of added abuse to the BH. Most of the time I have to go to HDepot to rent a 50 lb demo hammer to get it loose.

Rock teeth would do the trick..

My dealer doesn't know of any to replace the Kubota teeth.

Thanks !!!

What is the difference between rock teeth and the standard bucket teeth?

What is the difference between rock teeth and the standard bucket teeth?

Some are pointed to get a better grip and much harder (forged) for longer life and little wear.

The more expensive ones for larger backhoe's and trackhoe's are split (with a "V" in the middle of the tooth) and have carbide tips that last a very long time. Similar to the large carbide tipped trencher teeth you see that will eat through just about any type of rock.

Here is a link that explains it better..
