Two Thumbs Up for Iowa Farm Equipment!!

[picker77]

I bought a 7-tooth 60" Tooth Bar from Iowa Farm Equipment at 8 AM yesterday morning via their Ebay sales folks ("tractorparts247"). $350 with free shipping. Believe it or not UPS delivered it at noon today to my place in central OK. Holy fast service, Batman! It's a great tooth bar, very heavy duty and nicely welded. Bolts/washers were included, and I got it installed in an hour. My bucket will be far more useful now.

I just wanted to give IFE a public slap on the back for the fantastic service. They have been officially added to my "check these people first" list when I buy something from now on.

Will do, Boone. I'll try to get a photo today. I tried it out a little yesterday, sure makes scrubbing off small brush easier. I just laid the bucket flat in float mode and hit the pedal. Won't replace a grapple rake, which I still want one of these days, but a big improvement over a bare bucket.

Ok, here's a photo of the new tooth bar. Don't know if it would last on a skid steer, but I'm not likely to bust it with my little tractor.

Looks real nice. ! :thumbsup:
Looks like replaceable teeth also.
Also enjoyed pics of your homemade fabricated grill-guard w/JD deer on it.

Looks like a good one, now get out there and get some paint worn off. When I get to the point of getting a tooth bar, I will certainly have a look at Iowa Farm Equip. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, the teeth are the pinned-on replaceable type. The homebrew grille guard works pretty good and was easy to make, I needed a little more than the open-type thing that came on it because I'll be using this tractor a lot to clear small brush/tangles/vines and I routinely stick it nose-first into a lot of nasty stuff when I'm doing that. Didn't want to have to ask the wife for a replacement grille for Christmas. As for the Deere deer, I got bored one afternoon and made it from 1/8" aluminum sheet.

I had a different experience...

Terribly rude owner. I stopped by to look at all the equipment they had on the lot for my new Kioty 3510 tractor. They had many pieces to my interest. After looking over the entire yard, I stopped to take a picture of their used plotmaster. After shouting "hey" at me twice owner came and told me that I can not just take pictures... He told me that "normal people" come inside first. I tried to explain that I need it to do my research on that particular piece, but he did not want to hear. I offered to delete pictures and told him that he potentially lost allots of business at which he replied "you are not my customer" After that I told him "F.Y" and he asked me to leave so I did. Will be sending him pictures of all the implements I buy from other retailers.

Good to know!
I have previously inquired there before......by phone.
I will not bother to inquire there again .... about anything!

I had a great experience with them a few years back... Bought my workmaster stump grinder from them, drove there from Michigan to get it.

I had an issue with the hose fittings leaking and they refunded me a portion for my troubles.

I also order replacement teeth from them, no problems with that either.

I'd do business with them again...
