I have a mini excavator that I bought new. It now has 60 hours on it, earned digging through heavy clay, shale and rock. The bucket is an 18 inch with 5 teeth. When the teeth were new they were flat/square. The two outside teeth now are worn round on the outside edge and as a result don't cut quite as well as when they were new/square. I have some tooth questions I hope someone can help me with:
1/ Is it normal to rotate teeth in some way to balance wear?
2/ When do you think it's time to replace a tooth or do will the bucket be good enough for digging as long as there is even worn down rounded teeth on it.
Thanks
