Piranha tooth bar for GC1720 with DL95 loader

[Fiziksgeek]

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.

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

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

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!
