I have been waiting since 11-01-04, but it is worth it. Got about an hour and half seat time, pushed some brush piles, dug a pit to burn the remains of a shed I tore down and hauled some things in the bucket. A little bit of everything, I can't decide what to do first so am trying to do it all. Took the afternoon off and all day tomarrow. I really like the tooth bar for pushing brush and digging rose bushes out.

My dealer, Schaeperkoetter Sales and Service, had two brands to choose from, but I don't know the name brand. He had one at $395 and one at $325. Being the cheap guy I am, I bought the one for $325. Installed. There are a number of posts regarding toothbars, with prices all the way from $220 to almost $700. One brand I remember reading about is Markham, I think. I saw your post regarding your 7610. It will be great. Is it your first tractor? Have fun.

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( Congradulations hambob. I get mine (B7610) tomorrow. Where did you get your toothbar? I tried to order one with my tractor, but they didn't have them. Jeff )</font>
I bought mine from Markham Welding
For a 4' wide bucket it cost $220 including shipping and I received it 3 days after I placed my order. Just be sure to measure the inside width of your bucket before you call.
Took me about 30 minutes to install because I am slow. All you have to do is drill 2 each 1/2" holes in the side of the bucket and install 2 each 1/2" bolts which are included with the toothbar.

For the Rest of the Story-I went to settle up with my dealer and he was going to charge $425 for the toothbar because he did not have the cheeper one and had put the heavy duty on, I reminded him he had qouted me both and I had ordered the other. Long story short, he settled for $325. I don't know what the mark up is in toothbars, but I am sure he more than made up for it by selling me two tractors, fel and bh. Not only that, but he could not remember what he had quoted me for the whole outfit and sugjested a price $200 lower. I wa honest with him and told him what the price was, so he is still $100 ahead.

don't worry1 even at $325 he made a few $$ or else he would not have sold it for that price.

Nice machine, PICTURES PLEASE. That was the machine I wanted to buy. The money was not there and I had to buy a used machine. I'm jealous. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
wish i could show you pictures, but spent all my $ on the tractor. When I can, I will bring the Co camera home and try to down load some. I have a couple of days to be in Jefferson City, plus the weahter is bad here this week. I burned some of the grass off a place I bought that is so junked up I need to be able to see the ground before I drive the new rig on to keep the tires from being cut. In addition to all the junk, there are nails all over so will need to get a roofers magnet to pick them up. I got the R4 tires and think they will hold up better, but don't want to take chances.
