Re: Piranha tooth bar using with forks?

Thanks for the input. I have the same rocky issue, mine are a bit larger with a greater likelihood of large flat ones. Problem with the straight edge is the bucket will hit a rock about 3-4" in diameter in hard soil, then the bucket will want to walk up towards the surface, lifting the front wheels off the deck. It typically takes a few shots, articulating the bucket to get any bite to dislodge the rock, then naturally, there is another one 3 inches behind that...LOL.
It can get rather interesting on a grade with trees nearby, particularly on uneven ground.
Rock piles with various size rocksare also interesting, as they used an excavator hammer to remove a ledge where I am working, then they piled it. during the pile making, all the large flat rocks slid down the pile with each heaping, so they all typically lay against the bottom third of the pile, in layers, so you could imagine how it must be trying to get any bite with the BX. The pile is over 200 ton, and no I am not moving the whole thing, just need to build access areas in the excavated area and working the new driveway fill.

Nice job on the wall, good tie in's and overlap, looks like someone won't have a hillside to weed wack any longer....

Sounds like our properties have some similar issues, and at my place those layers are frosted together like a layer cake with the clay that passes for soil hereabouts.

Many of our rocks are big slabs of shale interspersed with glacial debris in the form of boulders from 8' diameter on down to pebbles.

Fortunately, in the piles we're working currently, they are more like 3' and down.

Good tractoring!

We are often forced to free up slabs by hand and only then can we get them into the bucket. (by hand often means a pry bar and/or the J-hooks we got from Northern Tool.)

I can't seem to find a site that sells one for a 60" bucket. Can anyone steer me in the right direction?

Hi Carl,

Email or call Harry (the owner/operator at BXpanded)- his contact info is both here on TBN (? as a sticky?) and at the BXpanded website, he doesn't list all the lengths he is willing to make and sell, just the most often asked for one sizes.

He was extremely helpful to me when I was researching which TB I wanted to buy.

How does this relate to the Piranha tooth bar?
