Product Overview


With a weight of just 10KG, the K100 220-9103 minimizes strain on smaller to mid-sized excavators (compatible with machines requiring K100-sized attachments), while its sharp, tapered profile ensures it cuts through tough substrates with minimal hydraulic effort. This combination of light weight and penetration power translates to faster cycle times, lower fuel consumption, and reduced wear on the excavator’s hydraulic system. Whether used in residential construction, landscaping, or utility trenching, the K100 220-9103 Penetration Plus Tip provides a reliable, cost-effective solution for tasks where precision and speed matter most. It also adheres to GETPLUS’s strict quality standards, ensuring consistent performance and a longer service life compared to generic penetration tips.

Compatibility & Installation Details


· Machine Compatibility: Optimized for excavators and loaders requiring K100-sized bucket tips (common in mid-sized machines for residential, light commercial, and landscaping use). For specific machine model compatibility, contact GETPLUS customer support with your equipment’s make and serial number.

· Mounting Type: Designed for standard pin-on installation (compatible with most industry-standard bucket tip pins for K100-sized attachments), eliminating the need for custom adapters or modifications.

· Tip Geometry: Narrow, pointed profile with a 30° tapered leading edge—engineered to concentrate hydraulic force into a small contact point for maximum penetration.


Features


1. Lightweight Design for Agile Performance

At just 10KG, the K100 220-9103 is significantly lighter than heavy-duty penetration tips (which often weigh 30KG or more). This lightweight build reduces the load on the excavator’s arm and hydraulic system, allowing for faster, more responsive movements—critical for tasks like utility trenching or residential foundation digging, where operators need to adjust position quickly. The reduced weight also lowers fuel consumption by up to 15% compared to using heavier tips, making it a more eco-friendly and cost-effective choice for long-term projects.


2. Heat-Treated Tip for Penetration & Durability

The tip’s leading edge is heat-treated to a hardness of 55–60 HRC (Rockwell Hardness Scale), balancing two key needs: sharpness for penetration and toughness to resist chipping. This heat treatment allows the K100 220-9103 to cut through compacted soil, clay, and soft rock (such as limestone or sandstone) with ease, while the high-strength carbon steel base prevents bending or cracking during use. Unlike unheated generic tips that dull quickly, this model retains its sharpness for up to 30% longer, reducing the need for frequent sharpening or replacement.


3. K100-Size Versatility

As a K100-sized attachment, the K100 220-9103 fits a wide range of mid-sized excavators and loaders commonly used in light commercial and residential applications. Its standard pin-on mounting design means it can replace existing K100-sized tips without modifications—operators can swap it in within minutes using basic hand tools. This versatility makes it a valuable addition to fleets that handle multiple job types, from landscaping to small-scale construction.


4. Low Maintenance Requirements

The K100 220-9103 is designed for minimal upkeep. Its smooth, streamlined surface resists debris buildup (such as mud or small rocks), which can clog generic tips and reduce penetration efficiency. Routine maintenance is limited to:

· Checking the tip for dulling or chipping before each use.

· Sharpening the leading edge with a grinder (only when significant wear is visible—typically every 4–6 weeks for regular use).

· Inspecting the mounting pins for tightness to ensure secure attachment.

This simplicity saves time and reduces downtime, allowing operators to focus on completing tasks rather than maintaining equipment.


Applications


The K100 220-9103 Penetration Plus Tip is tailored to light to medium-duty excavation tasks where penetration efficiency and agility are priority. Its applications span industries that rely on mid-sized excavators for precise, fast work:


1. Residential Construction

In residential building projects—such as digging foundations for homes, installing driveways, or creating backyard ponds—the K100 220-9103 excels at cutting through compacted soil and small rocks. Its lightweight design allows for precise control, ensuring foundations are dug to exact depths without damaging surrounding property. For example, when excavating a 1.5-meter deep foundation for a single-family home, the tip’s penetration power reduces the number of passes needed by 20–25%, speeding up project timelines.


2. Utility Trenching

Utility companies and contractors use the K100 220-9103 to dig trenches for water lines, electrical cables, and gas pipes. Its narrow tip creates clean, narrow trenches (ideal for utility installation) and easily penetrates the compacted soil often found along roadways or residential streets. The tip’s agility also allows operators to navigate around existing underground utilities (e.g., sewage lines) without accidental damage, a critical advantage in urban or suburban areas.


3. Landscaping & Site Preparation

Landscapers rely on the K100 220-9103 for tasks like creating garden beds, leveling terrain, or digging holes for trees and shrubs. Its lightweight build makes it easy to maneuver in tight spaces (e.g., backyard gardens), while its penetration power handles tough root systems and compacted topsoil. For large-scale landscaping projects (such as park development), the tip’s efficiency reduces the time needed to prepare sites for planting or hardscaping (e.g., patios, walkways).


4. Agricultural Land Preparation

Farmers and agricultural contractors use the K100 220-9103 to prepare fields for planting, dig irrigation ditches, or clear small rocks from farmland. Its ability to penetrate compacted soil helps break up hardpan layers, improving water and nutrient absorption for crops. The lightweight design also makes it suitable for use with smaller agricultural excavators, which are often used in tight spaces between crop rows or near farm buildings.


FAQ


1. Is the K100 220-9103 compatible with heavy-duty excavators (e.g., CAT 390)?

No, the K100 220-9103 is a K100-sized tip designed for light to medium-duty excavators. Heavy-duty machines like the CAT 390 require larger, heavier tips (e.g., J800-sized) to handle their higher hydraulic power and lifting capacity. Using the K100 220-9103 on a heavy-duty excavator will result in poor fit, reduced performance, and likely tip damage. For heavy-duty applications, refer to GETPLUS’s J800 series tips (e.g., J800 310-2783 Penetration Plus Tip).


2. How does the K100 220-9103 perform in rocky terrain?

The K100 220-9103 is designed for soft rock (e.g., limestone, sandstone) and compacted soil—not hard rock (e.g., granite, basalt). It can handle small rocks (up to 15cm in diameter) by penetrating around them, but it is not intended for breaking large, solid rock formations. For hard rock terrain, we recommend GETPLUS’s heavy-abrasion or heavy-penetration tips (e.g., 6I-8803 Heavy Abrasion Tip), which are built to withstand the impact of hard rock.


3. What is the expected service life of the K100 220-9103?

Service life depends on usage conditions:

· Residential construction/landscaping (moderate use): 6–8 months.

· Utility trenching/agricultural use (frequent use): 4–6 months.

· Use in soft rock (high-abrasion): 3–5 months.

Regular sharpening (when the tip becomes dull) can extend service life by up to 20%. Replace the tip immediately if you notice cracks in the base or excessive wear (e.g., the leading edge is worn down by more than 40%), as this can reduce penetration efficiency and risk damage to your excavator’s bucket.


4. Do I need special tools to install the K100 220-9103?

No, the K100 220-9103 uses standard pin-on mounting, which requires only basic hand tools (e.g., socket set, wrench) to install. The process involves:

1. Removing the old tip by removing the mounting pin.

2. Aligning the K100 220-9103 with the bucket’s mounting lugs.

3. Inserting and securing the mounting pin (ensure it is tightened to your excavator’s recommended torque specifications, available in the operator manual).

No welding or custom adapters are needed—installation typically takes 10–15 minutes.
