Piranha tooth bar!!!

[PhysAssist]

I have both on my B3200 and can change them out in under 5 minutes. Neither is a replacement for the other. The Piranha stays on the loader over 95% of the time and if I could only have on it would be the Piranha.

Used mine quite a bit in rocky Arkansas soil. If and when it wears down in 10 years I would happily buy another. Both styles of tooth bar have there good and bad points. For mostly dirt work, sapling/brush clearing and grading work I think the Piranha is better. If digging a bunch in larger rocks the larger longer replaceable teeth would be better.

We totally agree!

And so as not to hijack DragonEggs' thread I have to say this (and I only ever say it once per person) "TOLD YOU SO!!!"

I'm really glad you had the same experience with it that we did.

My install was a little harder due to having already bowed the cutting edge of our bucket into a mild smiley face while using it to dig and move large rocks (obviously pre-PTB).

The PTB actually brought our cutting edge back to straight, AND now protects it. The shape our bucket was in demonstrates how we hard use it.

We have really used our PTB strenuously, and have barely worn the paint off, much less worn the teeth down. Plus the toothbar profile on the PTB spreads the wear vs. individual teeth that can catch and break off.

As Mr. ParkGT said, if in 10 years we have worn the teeth down, A) I'll be very surprised, and B) I'll gladly send off for a new one.

Thanks,
Thomas

PS: Time to update your profile with a new avatar post PTB!

not crazy about it myself. teeth wear down after a while. a regular toothbar with prlaceable teeth is about the same money and do more damage against rocky hard soil. pointier teeth and bigger gap. That looks more like a tool to use in soil with lots of rrots. Once it is wore down its done. I went with a toothbar with my birthday cash

I noticed some wear after digging up part of the driveway for a concrete pad. For the price I'll just replace it when it wears out. No big deal.

I don't think Noodles has one of his very own. I may be wrong. I'm speculating that he was speculating.

Based off some other comments he made in another thread (and talking about spending his birthday money on a tooth bar), he sounds like a teenager looking to ruffle feathers here. But like you, I may be wrong.

Cripe! Like he's actually been alive long enough to wear out a Piranha?????? :laughing:

Maybe he confused the toothbar with his dental braces.

Although I think it's great that he is interested in tractors -

I believe I saw that in another thread.

This is one of the reasons I check the personal profile when a not regular (guess that would be an irregular) posts here and especially if it has a bit of a negative undertone or dissing a particular brand or piece of equipment. I myself believe an active participant will give some identifying info to give a degree of credibility except for the paranoid and they won't but may actually know some stuff which will usually be in the content of their post.
Anyway there was a poster here in the past that would give answers that would be pages long and like what an engineer would write for a professional article. He sent me a PM one time and told of his dream/aspiration to one day buy a tractor when his Wheel Horse mower died. So, I'm not saying a person that doesn't own a particular tractor or piece of equipment doesn't know anything about it but I want to know if what the person posting is from "hear say", read about, thinks, or knows from actual experience with the actual model if it's about a specific piece of equipment not how to do a specific task and even with the specific task I'd like to know if the person has actually done it themselves.
I've never owned any brand tractor but a Kubota. I never comment as to the performance or ability of any tractor brand except Kubota. Just my deal and if someone else is commenting about a specific model of Kubota (or any other Brand/model) then I want to know how they know other than brand bashing. I'd feel stupid giving input about a model I hadn't owned with my own experience unless I told up front where I was learning my information (brother owned, neighbor owned, had a vision, wanted to own one, grand dad owned one, saw a guy that owned one, saw a commercial on TV about it).
Read the personal profiles guys and then decide from there as to credibility and you Paranoids just fume and go on because I still know where you live.:laughing: When you hit send, it posts a copy of your SS# and address and phone number in small block letters in the upper right over your name, yes, your real name shows on mine with my Snooper program, that's right, there's a Snooper program for only $29.95 available to all that want to buy it!!!!! :laughing: :cool2:
