I make it a habit to check the bucket teeth before starting any job keeping an eye out for cracks, worn edges, and any looseness. I also give the pins a little wiggle. If something doesn’t seem right, I’ll switch them out before we begin digging!

I'm all about doing a quick visual check looking at the teeth for any signs of wear or cracks, and giving those pins a wiggle. A tiny crack can lead to a big problem if you overlook it. Those quick inspections help me avoid bigger issues down the line

Before any major digging, I always take a good look at the bucket teeth.
I check for any chips, cracks, and see if there’s any play in the pins.
If I notice too much wear, it’s definitely better to replace them now than risk a busted tooth while we're working.
