My new bucket teeth

[Kaizer Peas]

Those teeth look great. The only problem I can see with them is that sometimes it's better to not have the teeth on.
I have the bolt on kind and they work great but when I want to back blade they're a problem.
I hope yours meet you needs and you have good use of them.

I rarley have a time when I use the bucket to back drag. I use the 3ph blade for anytime I may need to do work like that.

And I decided that for saving ~$250 over the cost of the toothbar, I can live with having to remove 16 bolts instead of two. And in all reality, with the impact, I can have all of the teeth off and 16 shorter bolts back in (to protect the threads in the holes) in all of ~5 minuts if that.

But the big thing for me was NOT blocking my fork pockets in the corners of the bucket. The pictures show the short peices in there to prevent them from packing with dirt. I have longer ones that stick out ~22" for lifting logs and to be sawed up and other things:thumbsup: I would have had to totally redesign it with a tooth bar.

Instead of removing all the teeth to back drag, why not just fabricate or adapt an extra bucket edge insert so it can be attached to the back of the row of teeth? As the teeth will support it during backdragging it really shouldn't be complicated to rig a removable linkage to the bucket.

Just teasing in referencing the somewhat overheated doberman thread. I understand your point.

Hey, no hard feelings. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Thats what makes this country great:thumbsup:

So hows come no photos of that new saw, or pics of you running it????

Great Idea. I may put some thought into that, bit I dont see it ever being an issue with having a back blade as well.

Pictures of the saw I can manage. Pictures of it in use could be tough as I work alone. Might require one of those "here, hold my beer while I do this" moments and that would upset the safety police even though I wear kevlar chaps and proper head gear!

good point:thumbsup:

It is also NOT good to drink while running a chainsaw.

Even though the hole in the top of the can/bottle is pretty small, you'd be suprised at just how much sawdust can find its way in there:laughing::laughing::laughing:

Sawdust poisioning is really BAD

Another good idea...bookmarked!

LD...It looks like you can back drag with the teeth on and not leave any toothmarks. Kinda like a flat tooth bar. Is that right?

Thats correct

Cutting edge was easy to drill for the front hole.

What did you use to drill the cutting edge? I want to drill through mine to use for a bolt-on edge underneath the original. Step drill?
