Hey, piranha tooth bar people!

For enhanced ripping ability along with superior AR450 Steel material, check out the Wicked Toothbar. Custom Wicked Tooth Bar for Tractor Buckets.[/QUOTE

How about offering tractorbynet members 25% off on any purchase?

Or,...... maybe a gold Doubloon with any purchase?

My method has basically been the exact opposite... going into brush with bucket raised a little, chomping down with the bucket and reversing.

I would use it the same way if I had bought one. I still need to put the PB through some more testing this spring being all I have done so far is to clean that 32 foot x 45 foot area of Sumac for my shop build, I still have a bunch of other digging and cleaning that I want to do with the PB in that same area but ran out of time.

How's the wife feeling, dude...hopefully doing better.

Chomping down and reversing while ripping things out by the roots is where the ratchet rake has a leg up on the piranha bar. But for forward-motion applications, piranha bar has the clear advantage coz you could slice through things and dig with it, as well as rip things out of the ground, whereas the RR could only rip things out.

However, one other advantage the rake has is I found it's great as a mini cultivator. You could make a chunk of land very level with a piranha bar, but then have to work the spot to get it ready for seed. With the ratchet rake, you level and break up soil and all that, it's a real time saver for prepping for seeding.

I have been using my pb for two yrs now and love it . I have dugs tons of dirt . Sheared off hundreds of small saplings ,Worked on my gravel road and many other things and it is still as sharp as new. I doubt it was designed for digging solid rock and concrete.

OP - Could you use a heavy rotary cutter on that? Clear the debris( I saw some wood in one of the photos) and everything else seems "mowable" with a decent bush-hog. That leaves the growth still there to stabilize the soil, but make it easy to walk and work in there. You could always rent a walk behind unit if you don't have one for your tractor.

BTW - I have a Piranha bar on my machine. As with others, it pulls saplings and bushes out by the root better than shearing them off, but will shear sizable growth. With thick grass though, it won't do much of anything. I like it for anything I need to remove that's too small for a chainsaw and too big for my brush cutter.

Hey Crash, yeh I may go with the walk-behind brush hog rental. Actually, that's what I did last time I knocked all that down, a few years back. Just bouncing around ideas.

Technically, I could even justify buying a rotary cutter, I'd have some other uses for it, but I could see my wife rolling her eyes about another pricey purchase lol.

I make them 1200 pixels wide, which is what I've always done(for like almost 10 years). What are you viewing on? How do they look to everyone else? Just curious because I do not have any perspective if it's an apple product.
