Just to add to my prior dispariging comments about the SEC bucket I had the misfortune of buying, mine still has the original teeth on it, and the edge between teeth is scalloped about 3" deep. The sides wore through, and the bottom wore through. The welds have nearly all come apart, pin bosses broken loose, etc. I don't know how many hours, as it gets swapped out a lot, and never used for hard digging.
What gets me is the original teeth, except on the 2 shanks that broke off. I have used the Chinese teeth, and they don't last long, but they outlast the SEC bucket.
