tooth bar

[Anonymous Poster]

Does anyone know where I can find a tooth bar for my 7308 fel bucket? I have a 60" heavy duty bucket which has the bolt on cutting edge. I called my local New Holland dealer and they gave me various stories. They said New Holland doesn't make one and they can order one from Woods for about $285. I'm not sure if he knew I was talking about a fel or a skid steer bucket, however.

Carver Equipment sells them (carverequipment.com), all you have to do is send them an exact inside measurement of the bucket. It install swith 2 screws so it should be pretty easy to remove when its not needed.

New Holland's tooth bar will not work with the bolt-on cutting edge. I don't know about the Woods brand.

Boomer,

The NH toothbar can be used but would require that the bolt-on cutting edge be removed first. I have considered buying the cutting edge as I would like to strengthen the bucket to avoid bending the front edge. How well does the cutting edge strengthen the front edge against bending?

Dave, I have the cutting edge bar on my TC45D and I have not been able to bend the cutting edge despite heavy use in rocks and digging/undercutting roots of trees. In effect, it makes the cutting edge on the HD bucket 1" thick. Like you, I can see application for both the toothbar and the cutting edge. I really think if you wanted to change the position of the holes in the sides of the bucket, you could add a toothbar without removing the cutting edge.

Re: tooth bar and cutting edge

Dave, I agree, I have used the cutting edge to dig up rocks and have had no problems with it bending.

John,
Is that a picture of a tooth bar over the cutting edge? I recognize the bucket as it is very similar to mine. From the picture, I can't figure out where the bolts are for the cutting edge; if there is one. Anyway, which brand to you have?

Hi Boomer,

I ordered mine from K.C. Canary. {73" bolt-on} mounted on a "welded" HD bucket edge.

That is not my bucket, but just a picture I pulled from one of the posts on TBN for demo purposes.{I know it's not a bolt on edge}

When you measure, just tell them the layout of the "bolts" so the shanks on the toothbar will be "offset" as not to interfere when mounting.

If you think your heavy duty edge does a nice job with digging up rocks now, wait till you get a toothbar...

Your loader and bucket will act like they're on steroids... /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif

JMIII, I'd read the thread about the tooth bars previously, but simply let it slip my memory (old age, I guess). I do have one question I need some he'p with. When you backdrag the bucket, does the toothbar rotate up away from the cutting surface, or do you dig several little scarified furrows? Enquiring minds gotta know.../w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

JimI, that picture looks like my tooth bar, and it (and the only ones I've looked at) fit onto the lip; not sure how to describe it, but each tooth is (notched?) so it's on there solid and rigid. So to answer your question, you dig little furrows, unless of course, you curl the bucket back and backdrag with the back of the bucket.
