It's called a Piranha Tooth Bar and I bought it on the web from an outfit called bxpanded.com. People who have put them on tractor buckets seem to like them quite well and like any tooth bar or toothed bucket they should dig better than a smooth one. Also supposedly helps with clearing brush as the teeth are bevel sharpened on all edges. I say "supposedly" because the ground froze up solid around here just before the bar arrived and I haven't really put it to the test.
It sure looks better than the OEM Ventrac tooth option. I'll check that site out.
I'm close to pulling the trigger on the Ventrac. I demoed Ventrac with the 72 inch finish mower and the contour deck, but the dealer did not bring a power bucket. The 72 inch deck did well, but the contour mower performed poorly (almost like it was underpowered and/or the blade velocity was way to slow).
I am curious how well the bucket does with a little light excavating (digging down a foot or so). I know that it is no skid steer, but wonder how well it does in the dirt. Not many videos out there of people digging or leveling ground with it.
