Default Re: Tooth Bar question

quadpa,

You can tear up any loader or bucket with a toothbar; even on a skidsteer.

My buddy has a couple of NH Skidsteers and a Toro Dingo. All have toothbars and all 3 have a tooth that's bent and one has some damage to the bucket. It depends on what kind of abuse you do. He's equipment is used for commercial work and his employees don't give a hoot what happens to the equipment.

When I was tractor shopping, even the Bota dealer told me he recommands toothbars on tractors for dirt work. That was even on the BX SCUTs. And believe me the buckets on the BX are made of think steel.

BTW, does your dealer even carry toothbars?
