MTW Adds X100LH Cast Bucket Tooth, a 1.3 kg Alloy Steel Ground Engaging Tool in the CTA Pattern

MTW Adds X100LH Cast Bucket Tooth, a 1.3 kg Alloy Steel Ground Engaging Tool in the CTA Pattern

The tooth is the only part of a bucket designed to be thrown away. That makes it the one part where getting the specification right pays for itself on every single replacement cycle. MTW has added the X100LH Cast Bucket Tooth, a 1.3 kg cast ground engaging tool built as the replaceable digging component at the bucket’s cutting edge for compatible excavator and loader buckets. Cast in alloy steel, it is identified by OEM part number X100LH, casting pattern code CTA and quotation code DTA3.

The Economics of a Consumable

A bucket tooth is a wear item by design: it is meant to be used up and replaced. The question is never whether it will wear — it is how much of the maintenance budget disappears in the process. Three factors decide that:

1. Wear rate — how many tonnes of abrasive material one tooth survives
2. Fit quality — whether the tooth seats firmly, or rocks and wears out the adapter with it
3. Sourcing reliability — whether the replacement is on the shelf when the old one gives up

The X100LH is designed to be predictable on all three: cast alloy steel for controlled wear, CTA-pattern geometry for consistent seating, and a part number that maps cleanly into an inventory system.

Why Cast Alloy Steel

Cast construction produces a single homogeneous section with no weld seams at the highest-stress region — the nose, where every load concentrates. Alloy steel provides abrasion resistance where the tooth meets the ground, with enough toughness that impact does not shatter it. Cast tooling also means repeatable geometry: every X100LH from the same pattern seats identically, so operators are not adjusting fit or chasing loose teeth.

X100LH Technical Specifications

At 1.3 kg, the X100LH is a compact tooth — the weight class that suits smaller buckets and precision digging work, where a heavier tooth would add load without adding life.

Match the Tooth to the Adapter

The most common cause of premature tooth wear is not bad steel. It is a tooth mated to the wrong adapter. The LH designation matters here: the X100LH is built to pair with the X110LH tooth adapter — same hand configuration, same CTA pattern, so the tooth seats the way the system was engineered. Pair it with the wrong side and the result is rock, play, and two worn parts instead of one.

Confirm bucket and adapter compatibility before ordering.

Where the X100LH Works

• Excavation and digging
• Soil and earthmoving operations
• Material handling
• General construction work

Sourcing Without Ambiguity

Every X100LH carries clear identification at three levels:

1. OEM part number (X100LH) including the hand designation, so the correct side is ordered
2. Casting pattern code (CTA) tying the casting to its production pattern
3. Quotation code (DTA3) providing one reference for pricing, repeat orders and RFQs

Note that teeth and adapters carry different quotation codes within the same CTA pattern family — teeth use DTA3, adapters use DTA18. That separation is deliberate: it lets a purchasing team quote and track the consumable and the mounting interface independently, which is how a maintenance budget should be structured.

Supply Details

MTW provides cast ground engaging wear parts for customers seeking dependable replacement components and convenient product sourcing, backed by ISO-certified production and consistent casting quality.

• Packaging: export-ready plywood pallets
• Lead time: 6–8 weeks
• MOQ: 5,000 KGS — practical for mixed containers with LH teeth, adapters and centre teeth
• Colour: standard yellow, or matched to customer-designed specifications

Because teeth wear faster than adapters, a sensible order mixes both at the ratio the machines actually consume — one shipment, one customs entry, and no mid-season air freight.

Request a Quotation

To confirm fitment, obtain pricing or set up a scheduled tooth replenishment programme for the X100LH Cast Bucket Tooth, contact MTW at sales@mtw-blades.com. Provide the equipment model and existing part number, and the team will verify hand configuration and adapter compatibility before any order is placed.
