Should I add a tooth bar or teeth to the lip of the front end loader for general use around the homestead.
What say you?

I'm fond of the piranha tooth bar; it digs pretty nicely and is the edge is still pretty effective for back-dragging. I can imagine that some teeth may be better for digging in harder stuff, but I've got a backhoe if it comes to that. The PTB comes off with two bolts if needed, doesn't take much. Watch your step around the bucket edge with the PTB on it, though - it's nasty on the shins...

The piranha tooth bar has many very good reviews. I almost purchased one a couple of years ago, but couldn't speak to anyone there, never got a phone or email reply to my questions.

I opted to get a regular tooth bar from these folks... actually bought 2 from them (for different tractors).

I got them both times within a week!

Tooth bars really change and increase the ability of the tractor to dig into materials....a lot! You WILL notice a difference.

It will not change the fact that it is a tractor / loader.... it not going to change it into a excavator.

I noticed these bolt on to the side of the bucket. Do they also bolt to the holes on the bottom of the bucket?

I have 2 tractors with regular toothbars and one with a pirahna, They all work great but the pirahna is the best, It will also grab and tear small trees and brush out of the ground,.

I find that I can push/pull through a blackberry bramble and get a lot of the roots out with the PTB, to the point that the ratchet rake I bought for that purpose has been used exactly once in 3 years.

I like my PTB for all around uses, as several stated above. One of the reasons I chose the PTB was the beef it added to the existing cutting edge of my bucket. My bucket edge was getting abused and bent, so I straightened it a bit to get the new bar on there and it's held it's shape since then.
