Nathan, did you check out that seller's store? They have Twin Tiger Tooth Bars and Landscape Bars. On the Landscape Bar the teeth are closer together, instead of every 9-10" apart, they are approx. 4" apart. The teeth are on the Tiger Bar are basically vee-shaped at the tip. Might be worth taking a look.

I have not bought anything from the guy who sells toothbars and clamp on forks via ebay but I have communicated with him. He is responsive and gives good answers so I wouldn't hesitate to buy from him. Besides, he's from New England. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Sounds like I got taken on my 2A teeth. I should have asked the folks here where to go before I pulled the trigger. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif Oh well, the project is over. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Okay, they didn't accept my offer but told me thier lowest price and it looks like it will end up being $305 including shipping for the regular toothbar with 9" spacing.
The landscape bar looks like it will be about $50 more, how much better will it be than the standard one? I really just want it for digging in some caliche mainly. Will I regret not springing the extra $50 for the landscape one over the regular one? I don't know what the twin tiger points will really do for me either.
Thanks, Nathan

The fewer the teeth, the easier the penetration will be
One example would be imbedded rocks.
Were a tooth to line up with a tooth, penetration will be restricted so the less teeth the more likely to fit between rocks and therefore easier to loosen/dig full loads.
Many teeth would work in a 'landscaping' situation whereby you are essentially foreward rakeing roots and that sort of debris.
For basic excavation/loading operations I think you are better off with, say, 8"-10" spacing.
My 48" bucket has 6 teeth and I find it awsome digging in a clay type hardpan.
Topsoil with some rocks is a breeze and nearly always gets full bucket loads.
A FEL with teeth VS one without is just like comparing nite and day!
Only setback is you loose all backgrading capabilities. (that is why they invented back blades)
Naturally foreward motion combined with the proper curling action gives best results.

PILOON, what do you think about their Tiger teeth? Are the pointed teeth an advantage over the "normal" teeth? How about the double Tiger teeth?
Thanks for any further info.

If I understand the nomenclanture 'tiger teeth' I would make them to be forged steel vs normal which are beveled flat stock made from hardened 'T1' material and welded to a steel socket that fits the shanks.
The 'tiger' cost more and probably better if you are in rocky subsoils like hardpan.
Double tiger is what some guys here like when digging in ice and frozen ground.
Tiger types, I believe are best meant for excavator applications and my guess for FEL's the other type is plenty good.
I used the regular flat toothed type and am very pleased with the results. My thoughts were that I wanted to lift and load hence the flat teeth would 'hold' more than pointy ones.
Besides the points wont stay pointy very long but the flats will always be flat, just shorten gradually.
Narurally the FEL corner ones will take the most abuse so that's why I ordered spares so that I could rotate them around.

Does anyone know the lead time on the ebay toothbars? I ordered one last week and was wondering how long it took some of you to get yours.
