i was thinking of getting one myself they arent cheap for 72'' bucket that will hold up to a 8000ibs + tractor i wonder if it will make that much of a diffrents my tractor diggs fine now but not in clay thats why im thinking of getting one
I have on order a construction attachments extreme duty extended tooth bar for my 84" bucket. It was like $614 dollars through my dealer and should not have any any problems on my setup which weighs about 10,000 lbs and has a 2900lb lift capacity . The bar is said to weigh 150 lbs. The slightly heavier WR long industrial weighs 165 lbs and is designed for machines with operating lift capacity of 3500 -6500 lbs which is probably at least twice what your tractor is rated for.
It should definitely be easier to dig with. Pictures it like trying to dig clay with a flat blade coal shovel or manure shovel v a garden fork that has 4 long skinny pointed forks for breaking up and turning over dirt.
Another good example would be how well a box scraper digs with the scarfiers down v up on compacted soil.
It should dramatically increase the efficiency of cut and reduce the stress put on the loader and tractor.
I'm on all clay and while i can dig if the ground is wet. I can barley scratch the surface when its dry in the summer.
