I have a new Branson 4225h. I'm just starting to use it and believe it would be wise to install a FEL cutting edge.

I want a good quality cutting edge. I've not yet spoken with my dealer about this.

- Does Branson sell cutting edges specific to their line of tractors? If yes, any experience or opinions on quality and pricing?

- Are good or better cutting edges available from other sources in the marketplace?

Thanks.

I put a Pihrana tooth bar from BXpanded on mine. It works well for my use.

My Branson dealer didn't have any specific cutting edges for my 8050 and I didn't get one ordered soon enough for it.
That said mine doesn't have the standard bolt pattern for most cutting edges and with 6-700 hours on it I still need to add one,
I have had to tweak mine back a bit straighter a couple of times.
The easiest to add will be the various weld on cutting edges, I prefer a straight edge over the toothed style edges.

I have an eight tooth - tooth bar from a company called Rankin. It does what I need. I think your best bet - Google - tooth bar and stand back. There are probably hundreds of companies that make all forms of add-on tooth bars. If you look closely - thru the grass & weeds - it's yellow, it's bolted on the lip of the bucket - it has eight large hardened teeth.

Thanks for the responses so far.

I should have mentioned in my first post that I foresee using the FEL primarily for infrequent snow management and very infrequent sand and run-a-crush movement.
