The hardfacing does make little islands.

Yup rock can be an unforgiving mistress. One must always be on the lookout and fix the small stuff before it becomes much worse. As my auto teacher in college said fix the small things before they cause much more costly damage.

That truly is some serious wear going on with the hard facing. That is why smart operators and mechanics always reinforce their buckets in this fashion. Nice work btw. You do some cool stuff.

I don't know about doing cool stuff... it's really damn hot to be honest.

Yes getting at repairs early saves time in the long term

Hardy har har! Or is you just one smoking hot dude?

Yup it do indeed.
