Hi
I had to cut my tooth bar so it would be long enough, but I think I got a good deal on it for 200 dollars. see attachment.

Ihad to cut mine and then weld it for the 5030. I used a plasma cutter (much neater). I also got another tooth and weldment and added it on. I have an ATI.

Hi
A plasma cutter is my next thing to buy, but with an angle grinder it only takes about a minute to clean up after using a torch. I also used the torch to cut the holes in the bucket.

I don't use a gas axe for much. I prefer a drill for holes. I don't like the spatter. Besides, it destroys the paint.

If I have something too thick for the plas cutter, I cut it with a Metabo cutoff wheel or my horizontal band saw.

If you are going to get a plasma cutter, get an inverter model. They run cooler and start easier, especially if they have a pilot arc.

My ATI bar has been through 2 tractors now. No problems and replacement teeth are available. I like the way it fits to the bucket.

I would have loved to have what I needed when I made the holes for my Woods toothbar, but I only had 1/2" drill bit and had to use my dremel tool with a grinding stone to bring them to 3/4". Took a while, but made nice holes. Dad always did like to call me hard way johnson. John
