Re: Tooth Bar for 72\" Bucket - where to buy?

I arranged the purchase a toothbar from the JD dealer and was very pleased with the toothbar. I had it at my door two weeks after ordering. In fact, this dealer did not apply any charges to my credit card until AFTER I had received the merchandise.

Let me add a couple of caveats when ordering. Measure the inside of the bucket TWICE for the toothbar. That is between the sides of the bucket and the thickness of the cutting edge. Then pass along those measurements to the dealer. I made a slight mistake and had to get some shims made up and welded on. Not a big deal, just a pain!! /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif

Make sure you have a good 1/2 drill and 3/4" drill bit.

Then have a good time digging up whatever your heart desires.

Another thought - sure you have plenty of ballast to keep your tractors rear wheels on the ground. I've lifted mine up a couple of times and the pucker factor sure comes on very, very fast.

John's picture looks like my toothbar, except I just have a 54" bucket, and instead of 3/4" bolts to hold it on, as Terry mentioned, mine are 5/8". I bought mine used on this forum and it was about 1/8" too long to go on. No problem to cut it in two and weld it back to shorten it a tiny bit.

Do you take the tooth bar off when using the FEL for plowing snow, assuming you use the FEL for this?

Re: Tooth Bar for 72" Bucket - where to buy?

Yes, Mike... two bolts hold it secure to your bucket cutting edge, you can remove it{as fast as you can turn a wrench...} maybe 1 1/2 minutes... /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

I've said it before, but with the toothbar... it's like the loader bucket is on steroids... absolute day and night difference for digging, even for minor raking, ripping small saplings up out of the ground, use like a welded bucket hook, removing brush, etc. etc. It makes the loader very very aggressive...

I would say a toothbar is to a bucket/loader as TNT is to a boxblade... and the steel will last a lifetime!

Terry,

There's probably a zillion ways to device a bucket hook... cheapest being using an existing hook $2-4, torching off the "eye" end and welding...

I've seen some "dedicated" ready-to-weld bucket hooks for $14-19. each... /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif

I think those are for the people that have more money than brains... /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

And those teeth sticking out there let me pick up a couple of 34' utility poles and load them on a trailer last week without having to use my forklift forks or a chain.
