Thank you

Your equipment supplier will tell you what you need. My other question is why are you even asking when you are stripping overburden? ■

Any standard tracked or wheeled excavator used for mining of dirt, gravels, shot quarry rock, trenching etc. will have as standard equipment or it will need carbide teeth on the bucket.

Almost every excavator made will have this as standard equipment,

Unless you are buying a machine to dig ditches with a curved contour, which requires a toothless bucket with a long flat contoured bottom to maintain a curved ditch bottom profile.

If I knew more I could help you more, but simply asking for a rock bucket will do the job as any rock bucket will have replaceable carbide teeth anyway as a general rule.

a tracked excavator will require a very wide track as it will need to distribute its weight over a huge surface area to reduce the possibility of sinking.
