Cupped Teeth
RT160001
Cupped teeth are the best in cutting light to medium soil.
The cupped design of the tooth cuts the soil and then
moves the soil up and out of the trench.
NOTE:
Additional digging teeth combinations may be
available to meet particular soil conditions. See your Astec
dealer for additional information.
BEFORE YOU OPERATE
Starting the Trench
NOTE:
Know the location of all underground utilities
before starting.

line along the trench route on the side opposite the
auger discharge.

necessary depth, move the direction/speed control
slowly.
