Yeah, the Piranha and some others look great for digging. I went with the RachetRake for mostly brush clearing. On and off in about a minute.
I have had my tractor for about three years now. I have a backhoe as well as the FEL and I previously used the backhoe to break up the hard clay around here before moving it with the bucket. I put off buying the toothbar for too long. After I got it, I felt really stupid (cheap) for waiting as long as I did. I am soooo glad I have it, it makes many tasks easy. I did make a few modifications to the installation over the basic instructions. I added additional steel gussets at the front of the bucket to give the bucket added rigidity. The toothbar also comes with the necessary fasteners (2), but were sized at 5/8 inch so I went to a 3/4 inch Grade 8 fastener with fender and lock washers. What is nice is the ability to remove the two fasteners and remove the toothbar. It takes me 5 minutes to install or remove the thing. It does not get much easier. Don't wait, get one while you are thinking about it! You will not regret it.

I like the idea of having two but for now I'll save the cost of that acquisition for some other implements of destruction. The Horst rock and debris bucket would be an awesome addition, as well as a rock rake!
