What kind of tooth bar do you have, I am thinking about getting one or a ratchet rake, just don't know which one I would use most?

They aren't really competitors. The RR for me is more sueful since I use it for leveling dirt for finish grade, back dragging to round up rocks, twigs and such. The toothbar is more for digging and popping up rocks. The RR will probably pop up surface rocks better than toothbar since teeth are sharper and closer together on RR. Can't dig with RR or I won't. Sold my toothbar after having it for a year and it being more hinderance than help. Traded tractors so I had to order another RR to fit tractors I have. Can't see going without a FEL, Boxblade and RR and of course a mowing deck.

I bought a BX2350 almost 2 years ago. The first accessory I bought for it was a Markham tooth bar. That has proven to be the most useful add-on purchase I've made to date. It comes off in the fall for winter snow work with the FEL. Otherwise, it stays on.

I think Markham has either been bought out or merged with some other company. I can't find Markham welding on the Internet just now.

There are other good units. W.R. Long comes to mind. But there is no way I wouldn't have a tooth bar, now that I've had this one.

Sounds like I need a RR for my BX and toothbar for my L.
