Ground Engaging Tools (GET): What You Need to Know

 

Ground Engaging Tools (GET) are the wear parts of heavy equipment that make contact with the ground to cut, move and grade materials during work. These parts typically come as attachments to bigger machines so you can detach them to conduct maintenance, attach them or switch them out depending on your needs.

One of the most common GET is the bucket tooth attachment, which is a piece of equipment added to the bucket of an excavator or loader to improve its digging performance. These teeth help to break up tough materials, such as rocks and roots, and provide more traction, making it easier to dig in loose or slippery ground.
