I haven't found the proper name for this device, but please bear and help me. Occasionally, I see buckets (typically small or trenching digging buckets) with some sort of metal plate welded onto 1, 2, or 3 sets of bucket teeth. What is the purpose of this device? The only theory I can come up for this thing as an amateur is it can allow me to dig a clean floor or bottom for my hole/trench as- I'm pretty sure you've all noticed this by now when digging, but- I won't say this sounds crazy, so I'll just say it. But bucket teeth leave dirt behind whenever they gouge into dirt. So with this plate thing on it's bucket teeth, it minimizes material lost in digging.
And very very rarely, I see big cleanup buckets converted with/to have 7-9 bucket teeth with that plate thing also.
