4. Side cutters
Recommended steel: Hardox® 500 or Hardox® 450.
The side cutters are, like the cutting edge, heavily subjected to sliding wear under high pressure. In addition, to cut into the dug material, the side cutters also protect important structural parts. We recommend using Hardox® 500 or Hardox® 450 in these areas. For very tough conditions, the side cutter can be protected with bolt-on ground engaging tools (GET).
