Shipping Method
FEDEX - Ground

FWIW I placed an order for a PTB with BXpanded on 7/25 in New Hampshire and I received the toohbar delivered on Friday, 8/3 (9 days after order placed.)

The bar shipping notification came on the 27th (2 days after I placed the order)

If its way beyond that timing, i'd give them a call.

After post I rec'd a notification that it was shipped that day (Yesterday) and supposed to be at my home today. It's coming from Knoxville, Tn which is only about 120 miles from me so today I may have it. FedEx delivered some framing nails to wrong address a week or so ago and took me several days to get them but that was unusual for them, driver told me the man that got my nails had ordered some and was surprised they came so quick. Hope they don't take my Piriniha to the wrong address .
Weather forecast is rain for the rest of the year :confused3:so don't know when I'll get to test using it but will be able to get it mounted within a few days.

I bought a 4' Piranha tooth bar for m B2320. I expected it to help greatly with digging and moving pile of dirt that had settled. Much to my surprise it also allowed me to dig up small sapling and trees, 2 to 4" with ease.
The teeth allow me to get into the ground at the root level and pup them out. This wasn't possible with a smooth bucket. I think you will find it to be a great help for most things. Just keep it flat on the ground when you park the tractor. Those teeth can tear up an ankle quickly.

Did you order the 48” for your B2320? How does it fit? What loader do you have? Looking at one for my B2920

I measured the bucket on the 2320. I have the lightweight loader, the LA304. It's been a while but I think the measurement was 46 1/4", not 48.
I would measure than rely on model numbers. The bar fit perfectly, the step drill made installation easy. Expect the mounting tabs to be bent a bit. I drilled and bolted one side in then used a large clamp to pull the other side into position.
Fedex tends to throw the heavy stuff around.

Yah, clamps helped a lot during installation. And the stepped drill bit, worth every penny.

Exactly how I did it! :drink:

Pretty much me to. I had a set of 3 step drill bits I'd bought off Amazon for around $9 and had never used them. I figured they'd be light duty when I ordered them. I couldn't find my corded 1/2" drill and not sure I even had a bit big enough. I remembered the step drill bits and figured I'd just bend or break them or they'd just spin with no digging. I was bad wrong. The bit just went thru the bucket side almost easy peasy on both sides.
Have since used the bit for drilling thru Lexan glass making my own windshield ($52) for my RTV500 and another great drilling job. The step drill bits are now a must have for every tool box especially with the battery drills that have the power but not the 1/2" chuck.
