48" Toothbar

48\" Toothbar

Anybody know where to get one of these reasonably priced? I've checked out the links here on the forum and they all seem to want about $350 plus shipping. Since I'm not contemplating commercial use, just to bust up some dirt and push a few rocks around, I was hoping to spend quite a bit less. I looked at Johnny Bucket, but they only make them for their own products. I have a Koyker 155 FEL with a 48" bucket, any tips appreciated, but I've already looked at most of the ones I could Google, and they're all about the same price.....

There's a post in the build-it yourself section, I think the thread was called "how many teeth" anywho it's on the first page if you scroll down a little bit.

He bought seperat teeth and put them on his bucket, you may try a local skid steer shop and see what they have, they may even have on to fit your bucket.

went to KC Bobcat, but all theirs are 60" or bigger. Seems I saw a site that offered to sell the teeth only, have to see if I can find it again...............

Being you have metal experience, can you cut a tooth out and shorten it to fit or take a little bit out of each side...of course if it's in the budget.

I herd that Carver equipment (look in the dealer page) is a good company to work with and alot of help with tooth bars, but then again you right back into paying for it and paying to having it shipped.

You could just go the redneck way and get out the torch and cut teeth in the bucket its self...thats a joke /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

I can supply you with a 48" toothbar for quite a bit less than what you were quoted . It is manufactured by a company that makes a complete line of bucket attachments for several loader & skid steer manufactures. Email me for details.

We found this one on E-Bay and did the "Best Offer" for $200.00. They accepted the offer. And with approx. $60.00 shipping to Washington state. We received it within 10 days, and am very happy with it. Be sure to check the "Best Offer" feature. As we are not heavy E-Bayers, it was a new feature for us, but it worked... Good Luck

Re: 48\" Toothbar

P.S. The one we bought was 48". Had teeth at each end and had a total of 5 heavy duty teeth. It also went on to my Yanmar 155d with a yanmar loader. Not sure if it is the original bucket or not. Hope this helps.....

Re: 48\" Toothbar

Thanks! I also need a 48" for my loader, I'll see what happens. Are you satisfied with the quality of the bar, the strength of the teeth, welds etc?

Re: 48\" Toothbar

I got mine yesterday, and mounted it up on the bucket. Looks really well made, uses the pin on teeth etc. I would recommend Markham Welding to anyone who wants one of these, prices are reasonable ansd service is quick. I paid $158. plus shipping. Now, time to put it to work this weekend! Heres a pic.........

Re: 48\" Toothbar

I will think about it. Let me know what uses u find for it and how often u have to remove it.......I have thought about getting something like it made with lot more and smaller teeth like a rake and attaching on the bottom of my rear blade. What do ya think would it work a little like a Landscape rake..... ? I don't see why no one makes a rear blade with exchangeable heads.. Like a rake, harrow etc....uh oh my million dollar idea is out...... Who ever makes it big on this please send money or at least a post card from somewhere warm........

Re: 48\" Toothbar

Well, I hope to use it this coming weekend to flatten out a spot to build a small metal outbuilding - to store my tractor in out of the rain since I did all this nice work to it - but of course, it's supposed to rain this weekend!
