Teeth on a FEL - Why are they so rare?

[dharris894]

Thanks for the previous responses on the bent FEL. Gave me some ideas I would not have thought of.

This FEL (mounted on an '89 L3350) appears to be Kubota but I don't know the model. It has teeth. In looking at pictures it appears to be very, very rare except for much larger dozers.

There must be a reason for this??

Use the search engine at the top of the page. Type in Toothbar and you'll spend the better part of your day reading about this. If you don't have one you'll want one. If you have it you'll wonder why the rest of the world doesn't have one.

I have an excellent toothbar. Bought it because it was recommended highly by folks on this forum.

One guy said, "It's like your FEL bucket on steroids!". That is the truth.

I love mine, FFC built and wouldnt trade it in for anything.
Build as tough as my Kubota L3130.

I wouldnt call it rare just not heard of much. I got one that I ordered and darn glad I did. Theirs alot a person thinks he knows till it comes time to read these forums. Honestly I dont know how people know so much about tractors in general but this place will open your mind to things you wouldnt even dream of.

Are you talking permament teeth on the FEL , most guys here use detachable toothbars(me included) there are a lot of tomes you don't want teeth on the fel, so detachable is the way to go.

Why are toothbars so expensive? Before I priced them at all I thought I could probally get one for about 100.00 but I was way off.One for my B7500 runs about 300.00. I'll have to save for that one. Donny

As may have been said above...teeth on the FEL are rare.

But TOOTHBARS for FEL buckets are far from rare... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Between the two of you, you would think that one of you would have remembered to brush your loaders dirty teeth before the picture......... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
