Re: Toothbar or No Toothbar? I built a toothbar for my bucket last year, I'll never be with out one again. I built it to use the factory holes on my John Deere bucket but I've never taken it off since installed. It's great for hay laden manure, cleaning up brush from a downed tree, digging into clay, and the list goes on. Haven't had a down side yet. I can see where back blading to smooth an area wouldn't work to well, but I don't do that enough worry about. Almost forgot, I did put chain hooks on the bucket near the factory reinforcements. I made the mistake on my first tractor of using a large slip hook off a broken log chain, it's what I had around, that was a mistake because you couldn't just drop the chain on the hook and it stay. On my second tractor I welded two chain hooks, one on either side, the standard kind that the chain won't slip through, much more useful. |
