I just got a call from Markem, my tooth bar is being delivered today!

That is great service, order on Monday and get it Wednesday which includes shipping time. I wish the company I worked for was that good!

The bad news...I won't see my tractor until weekend after next IF I am lucky!

I got the missin' my tractor blues, yeah, I got the missing my blue tractor blues! oh yeah!

I wish I'd seen this thread a few weeks ago. I paid $400 + for a 60" tooth bar from the local New Holland dealer.

That's a lot of money for blue paint.

My toothbar showed up yesterday as promised...I got a phone call confirming same and then to top it off I got a letter thanking me for the order in today's mail. That's amazing customer service and from the looks of it I have a great product. It's a heavy sucker...

Same for me and it is heavy. My bucket has corner welds that hold the bar up a little plus it is a little curved up at the ends from welding. I am going to kiss the ends with a grinder and clamp the whole thing flat to the bucket before I spot the holes. Nice peice of work. Looking foward to see how it digs.

I do alot of landscaping. So what happens when you want to do some grading & flattening down a section of dirt while going backwards. Do you still get a nice flat appearance or will you get the tooth marks digging in.

Same goes with snow removal. Can you go nice & close to grade or will you start digging in.

Thanks,
