Love My New Toothbar

[jbrumberg]

irwin:

I have not gotten around to grinding the toothbar yet. I have been digging into a lot of heavy clay and rocks with no apparent problems with this setup other than clay hanging up in the bucket because the toothbar base will not sit flush in the bucket. This would probably be a problem with the clay/mud anyways. Like you my HD bucket with the bolt on cutting edge is pretty thick for the toothbar. The more I look at this setup I am almost afraid to grind metal off the toothbar for fear of weakening the toothbar (for the amount of metal I think I need to grind off to make it fit as suggested ). I still have solid contact with the teeth, bolt on cutting edge, and the bucket and it appears that with use the toothbar and bucket are setting themselves. I do have an extra pair of 5/8"-11 carriage bolts for backup. The dealer insists that I have the correct part and they have always been honest with me for the 20+ years I have dealt with them. I will be seriously "testing" the toothbar in the next few weeks. I hope my "experiment" will have positive outcomes. I will keep you posted. Jay

You think you have rocks? Ha. This was about 3 years ago. I have finished moving the pile and have to finish up the wall and other rock projects so I can move in the topsoil and get some grass growing. I just got my toothbar from markham and love it.

This is where that pile used to sit

By the way nice looking kid (great to give a sense of scale ). I am not usually impressed by much, but your TC29 did a great job on your rock pile . Now I think I "need" to buy a 3PH carryall to help me move even more rocks. I think you "rock" . My wife would probably not agree ! Jay

That is a nice looking kid. Thanks for sharing.

I like the rocks too.

Here's my latest toothbar experience.
