5KC3STT Twin Tiger Tooth

5KC3STT Twin Tiger Teeth

5KC Keech or MT03 Hitachi are the most common teeth in Australia for mini excavators up to 3 tonne.  They are fitted with either two roll pins (one inside another) or with one heavy duty coiled spring pin which is punched in vertically from top to bottom.  These will most likely be the teeth fitted If you have a skid steer or mini excavator up to 3 tonne and they are a "roll pin style" tooth, the exception being ECH excavator buckets and Hughes 4-in-1 buckets produced after 2007.  Those buckets will be fitted with 03 Roll Pins style teeth which are also available.

Blade or Twin Tiger?

Blade teeth are great for general purpose work and long life, the large wear area will last longer than twin tip tiger teeth.  Twin tip tiger teeth will penetrate the ground much easier than blade teeth due to sharper points on the teeth, however they will wear faster than blade teeth due to the smaller wear area than blade teeth.  The general rule of thumb is to use blades for normal work and tigers when the ground is too hard and the machine is struggling to dig.

ACES Teeth

Aces Teeth are manufactured to the highest quality standards available.  All our teeth are manufactured using the Lost Wax Investment Casting process rather than the old fashioned sand casting process.  This ensures higher tolerances on the teeth and adapters during casting.  All teeth and adapters are made from high quality alloy steel to achieve an impact strength of greater than or equal to 20J. They are also hardened from 47-52 HRC for extremely long wear life.
