The Wacker Neuson Short Tooth is a genuine OEM component designed for Wacker Neuson 10-inch, 12-inch, 16-inch, and 20-inch diameter buckets. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part carries the same specifications as the tooth installed on your bucket at the factory. It fits across the full range of compatible bucket sizes —,, and — making it a straightforward like-for-like swap. When teeth wear down or break in the field, having the correct OEM replacement on hand keeps your digging attachment performing at full capacity.
Key Features
- OEM-Matched Tooth Geometry — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original profile dimensions, ensuring the cutting edge engages material the same way the original tooth did from day one.
- Drop-In Replacement — Engineered to mount directly onto compatible Wacker Neuson bucket tooth holders without any modification to the bucket body or adapter.
- Broad Bucket Compatibility — Fits Wacker Neuson 10-inch, 12-inch, 16-inch, and 20-inch diameter buckets (32mm pin diameter), covering multiple trench and excavation configurations in a single part number.
- Maintains Digging Efficiency — A correctly fitted short tooth delivers clean soil penetration and consistent bucket fill; a worn or missing tooth forces the bucket shell to do the cutting work, dramatically increasing cycle times and operator effort.
- Genuine OEM Assurance — Part number 5000182308 is a factory-authorized Wacker Neuson part, meaning material grade and heat treatment match the original specification for the demanding wear environment of bucket teeth.
A bucket tooth is the primary ground-engaging component of a digging bucket — it concentrates the machine's crowd force into a small cutting point, allowing the bucket to penetrate soil, clay, and compacted material efficiently. Short teeth are typically used in applications where a lower bucket profile is needed or where standard teeth have worn back to a serviceable short dimension. When a tooth wears through or breaks off entirely, the underlying adapter and bucket shell are exposed to direct abrasion, accelerating damage to more expensive structural components. Replacing worn teeth promptly with the correct OEM part protects the bucket and keeps penetration rates where they need to be.
