Tooth Bar options?

[Kep1a]

I think I am down to two options. The wicked tooth bar from Everything Attachments and the Piranha Tooth Bar. What is making me lean this way is the ability to clear overgrowth and pull out saplings. When it rains out here the over growth can be very problematic. I have a 1950s flail mower but that thing is a beast to attach.

This really cinched it for me.

I use the PTB to dig soil and diabase (soft iron rock) and pop rocks, and bushes out of the paths for use of the flail.
EA or PTB will make a world of difference.

I've had the BXpanded Piranha Tooth Bar for about 8 years and very happy with it. I saw a tread where a guy made his own but that was not an option for me. The BPT is cheaper than the EA unit.

For rocky soil I'd think a standard type tooth bar'd be better but I'm just guessing.

I have the PTB and would not want one heavier. I have a 25 hp Kubota and when a smaller tractor loses 50 lbs of lift to the tooth bar, it can feel significant. I LIKE my PTB and believe it helps, on balance. But the EA bar is much heavier, as I recall. The PTB is plenty strong. Can't hurt it. Would not want more weight.

Weight is a good point to take note of. Will check that out for sure.
Just checked and a 66" is about 55# for the piranha bar vs 66# for the Wicked both were estimates but I was told they are very close to quoted weights for the 66" bars. I doubt 16# will change much but it is something to consider.

Sounds like I was wrong and the EA bar is not that much heavier than the Piranha. I like the bar in the original post, has that gnarly old school look!

Had a regular toothbar with teeth on a L3800 OEM bucket. Just not strong enough to work effectively. Terrible at back dragging.

Welded a special made Piranha tooth to a M59 well worn bucket Wow! What a difference digging in dirt/clay. Great clearing understory brush.

HD bucket on B26 has double bolt on cutting edge. Might be a good candidate for the wicked bar if could get the holes to line up.

ETA said unless I had 45 or more HP the bolts in the cutting edge are not needed.

I've seen numerous videos where the piranha tooth bar was clearing overgrowth. ETA how well does your bar do with over growth? Videos?
