Yep! You got it...my tooth bar [img]/w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif[/img]


Seems like a reasonable SOP if one is not expecting to dig much/any dirt and might be cleaning up some snow...

Is this what you guys in snow country do?

Bil in Pgh, PA...where it can snow a lot or a little, you never know...

I usually leave my toothbar off unless I am digging with the FEL. I found for loading, spreading, and smoothing loose material, it is easier with the toothbar off.

Would someone mind explaining to me what a tooth bar is? I assume it is something one attaches to their loader. Are they just generic and you just need to get one for the size bucket you have? Do you just drill holes and mount it on? Are they useful? Price?

Thanks

Most toothbars slides over the cutting edge of a loader bucket and are held in place by 2 bolts through the side of the bucket. They are pretty much generic, you need to measure the inside width of your loader bucket, and let them know weather you have a bolted on or a welded on cutting edge on your bucket. Prices are generally between $250 to $350.
