This 3G8250 Flared Bucket Tooth is a specialized wide-tip tooth designed for excavators, suitable for use with Caterpillar (CAT) J250 series excavators, graders, compactors, and other attachments.Serving as a perfect aftermarket OEM replacement part for the Caterpillar series.
In specific earthmoving and site-leveling operations, standard bucket teeth often fail to meet the demands of large-area coverage. The 3G8250 Flared Bucket Tooth (Flare/Wide Bucket Tooth) is a premium aftermarket replacement part designed specifically for the Caterpillar J250 series. Its unique flared, wide-edge design not only significantly increases the bucket's fill factor but also leaves an exceptionally smooth finish on the working surface, making it an excellent tool for boosting the efficiency of material-handling operations for small to medium-sized excavators and loaders.
Manufactured using casting or forging processes, this "Cleaner Bar Tooth" is compatible with the CAT J250 flared bucket tooth system,

The cutting edge at the tip of the 3G8250 is wider than that of a standard tooth. This "scoop-like" design effectively acts as a miniature grader blade attached to the front of the bucket. It maximizes the retention of loose materials—preventing sand, gravel, or soil from slipping through the gaps between the teeth—thereby significantly boosting loading efficiency.
When performing tasks such as ditch cleaning or foundation leveling, the wide-tip design cuts a smooth, groove-free working surface. This substantially reduces the workload required for subsequent secondary leveling operations, whether performed manually or using a motor grader.
Manufactured from high-quality alloy steel and subjected to a rigorous heat treatment process (quenching + tempering), these teeth ensure that their broad, slender tips maintain exceptional resistance to bending and abrasion. They offer a 100% perfect fit with J250 adapters, ensuring a tight, wobble-free installation.
The 3G8250 Flared Bucket Tooth (J250 Wide Tip) is not designed for penetrating hard rock; rather, it is the preferred choice for the following operating conditions:
Site grading and ditch cleaning
Handling loose materials: Such as the rapid loading and scooping of sand, gravel, topsoil, and coal.
Excavation in muddy or soft ground: The wide contact surface provides superior cutting and penetration performance.
