[QUOTE="jmatt20, post: 9421, member: 186"] tazza.. i have a bigger plasma cutter than you do...i just cut right thru the weld and the cutting edge from the top ,then gough out the rest of the welds,follow up with cold chisles and a 5lb hammer. i've never done a 4 in 1 bucket ,like you say they never caught on here in the states . a buddy of mine bought one a long time ago ,it was a factory prototype he liked it well enough but it was under built. when he used it to back drag with the edge open it bent the edge over time ...then the bucket wouldn't close up tight...it sets in his yard and he's back to regular buckets. fishfiles.. every bolt on cutting edge i've seen has nuts and bolts sticking up in the bucket, your telling me if i had 4 to 6 hrs of lessons i could get concrete to learn to jump over those bolts, that last couple of pieces in the parking lot slide up the edge hit those bolts and don't want to go in unless you have something to push them against...even if you have something to push against if they hit just right you have to give them a good push. time is money but i've been in the bobcat for hire business since 1978 and it's still a rare month when i don't have half a day or so off for maintenance. if a guy is getting 100 an hour and can work all of the daylight hours 365 i not sure it even makes sense to stop to change bolt on cutting edges,just have the dealer bring a new bucket by the job....
