Kubota Grand L-5040 GST, Kubota L2900 GST, also have a Case 1840 with loader, ripper teeth, forks, backhoe attachment and steel tracks.
Hey guy's I'm looking for a used or new 72" tooth bar. By far one of the best attachments I've had on tractors before but 585.00-650.00 is a little steep. My other Kubota L-2900 GST had the commercial bucket and nobody made a tooth bar for it back in 2003 so I purchased the teeth, bar and side pieces individually and welded it by myself. And on amazon I may end up going this route but thought I would check and see first.

Anything made of steel isn’t reasonably priced nowadays.

I'm considering a Titan Attachments toothbar ($309 plus shipping):

I have their pallet forks and was very impressed with the quality:

Here is another place. I have purchased 2 from them. Worked great!
Oh, and also free shipping! I received both the ones I purchased within a week.

I want to thank you all for your responses as I will be ordering one here soon. I'm not sure why these places didn't show up on a google search, but thank you

Yeah I have some of these places bookmarked for that reason. Tractor implement manufacturers/resellers don't always seem to understand SEO very well (search engine optimization).

I've had tooth bars on all the tractors I've owned. If the pile of material is dried out and crusty, a bucket without a tooth bar may not be able to dig in.
Haven't got one for my current tractor yet, but I'll have one by next Spring

Well it will be a Christmas present to me as a toothbar is a priority in my opinion esp for back dragging to protect the edge of your bucket. I just couldn't justify $550-650 for the cost. And about the only thing I see on the inexpensive bars is the leading edge of the flat bar doesn't have a taper like the high dollar bars do. But it's not like it will see daily digging use. Thanks again

I want to thank deezler as I ordered the toothbar from Neat and to my door was 350.00 in week ! They have been asking for a review as I haven't had time to take pics of it, but what I can say is I'm not impressed with the flat bar they welded the teeth to has a square 5/8" edge instead of a taper which gives a extension to the standard cutting edge. But more so has got to be the poor quality control of the manufacturing process ! I will post some pics soon but if you look across the toothbar from the side there are about three of the teeth that hang down from the rest easily at a inch to a inch and a half lower. Which to me is quality control that can be prevented. Like I said I haven't sent in my review to them yet but at 300.00 less than the others it is still worth it.

I would recommend the one I have - Rankin. Great bolt on tooth bar. But it's made in WA state and the OP is in MO. Shipping would be a major cost.

It's one of those things that you get what you pay for.
A poorly built or engineered t/b will bend, not have commercially available replacement tooth covers and possibly damage your bucket. I've always gotten them from a Bobcat or similar dealer, they are built to take the abuse that a SS can apply and will last you forever on a tractor.

I would bring it up to them privately before putting it in a public review. It may be as simple as them needing to have a little pow wow with 'the new guy' and bring him up to speed a little better, and it might get you something more in the long run than just posting a poor review and not having any direct dialogue with them about the issue. I definitely wouldn't let this set your impression of them into stone until after you've had a chance to see how they respond when you bring it up.

Too bad none of you live close to me as I have an ATI bolt on tooth bar with replaceable points leaning in the tractor shed that I'd sell cheap.

How far from grand rapids? I'm 3 hours nw of the bridge. I do make it to gr a couple times a year. If I haven't found one before I head down there next, I'll send you a message

At least a year pre pandemic (?) I got a Pirhana tooth bar.. At that time it wasn't that expensive.. Fits well, works well for my intentions..

It digs well enough in our ground.. My biggest reason for having it is to keep ware off the bucket edge while moving snow.. There is a learning curve to keep from gouging the driveway gravel, but easy enough to handle..

If needed, I would replace it in a short minute with another one..

My 5 cents of experience and opinion..
