Backhoe Bucket Design and Application

The rapid, clean, and efficient removal of material characterizes the excavating back hoe. As with all digging implements, operating performance is directly dependant upon optimum design and specific application This paper discusses those proven parameters that not only contribute to, but are essential to, bucket digging efficiency as evidenced by bucket design. Also being discussed are those factors which are pertinent to correctly match bucket design to job conditions in order to maximize machine utilization.
