Has anyone tried this thing? Seems like those turnbuckles inside the bucket would get banged up pretty good.

Looks like the answer to a question nobody asked. I can add or remove my toothbar in half the time and there are only two holes in the side of my bucket that do not affect performance in any way.

Forgive my ignorance, but why would you take it off?
Cleaning concrete maybe???
Who knows??? People have reasons I guess. I just don't see how this set up is an advantage.

You can't do a clean back drag with the toothbar on. I will often take it off when leveling and working with the box blade so I am can use the bucket to touch up places the box blade can get to.

Sure you can, I do it all the time with my ATI bar on the bucket.
I curl the bucket up and use the back edge of the bucket to back drag. No brainer.

I remove mine to remove snow on my drive
I haven't taken the time to remove mine since I put it on (May). I have been too busy to do it. I have found it helps to spread that I can't with my box blade, as the teeth act as a "thickness" level when back blading. I do think I will be removing it for snow season.
I also put the teeth on the skid steer (only the 4' bucket). It is helpful to have a blade that has no teeth for those tight spots you can't get into with a box blade.

Bobcat OEM toothbars are removable, at least all the ones I've seen...

Same here...
They edited that video (note the "fades"). I'd guess it takes longer to install then putting the two bolts in and tightening the nuts.

But wouldn't it be easier to just remove two bolts when you want to take it off?

OK...
Yeah, removing two bolts and pulling the tooth bar is a pretty easy task.
I've had mine close to 10 years. It was modified once when I went from a 54" bucket to a 61" bucket. Goes on in the spring and I remove it in the fall.

I take mine off for the winter and keep it on all summer. Snow don't you know :thumbsup:
