The outer wear strips are rolled vertically around the curvature of the bucket and center strips are placed horizontally between these to better protect the bottom of the bucket. The bucket shape is tapered from bottom and front to back. It is offered with a variety of tooth systems, including Cat, Hensley and Esco. Lower sidecutter sections are drilled and countersunk to accept sidecutters.
