Who has a Piranha tooth bar for their GC with the DL95 Loader? I contacted Expanded and was told to measure the inside bucket dimension about 3" back. I got 47&7/8. I was wondering who else has one, what their measurement was, what they got, and how well it fit? I assume there is a little wiggle room on the short side, but you definitely don't want to be long. I was thinking of ordering one for 47&3/4.

I was looking at their website not to long ago, and they had a tooth bar for the GC Massey Series tractors. I just looked at their website after your post, and it's gone?? If I remember right, this would have been a 49.5 inch wide bar. Maybe they didn't have the right dimensions and took it off their website? Weird.

I plan on buying one this Spring. Why don't you buy one first and tell me how it works?:thumbsup:

I don't have a GC but do have a Piranah bar on my 1529. When I bought mine I was also worried about the accuracy of the measurement. When it arrived there was plenty of clearance for the bar to fit. I think if you are within an 1/8 to 3/16 you won't have any problems. My guess is they subtract a 1/4" from what you tell them.

Fiziksgeek,

I have a Piranha toothbar coming on 3/7 I ordered the 47 3/4" variety. The tabs are mild steel so they will conform a bit to the bucket. I can post up fit and finish next week sometime when I get it installed.

I also have a custom ripper tooth made by Brotek coming in next week with trencher attachment. I tried to get the Bxpanded Talon ripper ordered when I ordered the tooth bar but they were not willing to make a custom tooth for the CB65 they would need one at the shop to make one. However, Brotek sent me a diagram what to measure and they had one built for me in one day. It's on the way so I will post up how that fits and works as well.

My GC 1710 was 47 3/4. Just made a wear edge for the bucket so it's fresh in the mind.

I had a Piranha tooth bar made for my Yanmar 186d a few years back.......I cut a one inch board the width of my bucket and took 1/4 inch off to be sure of the fit. They custom made mine......it fit perfect. I never take the tooth bar off. Great product by the way.

I installed one on my Kioti NX4510 last November. Plenty of clearance and the bolts snug it down nicely. It's very well made.

Did your Piranha come in yet? I'm looking at getting one also.

Arrived yesterday, but have been so busy I haven't even had the change to test fit it. I will let you know tomorrow though!
