Toothbar haters...come on out!

[NIXON]

Do I hate it ? Heck no ! I did manage to walk into the teeth once . And at that moment I wasn't real pleased with it !
But now I put the bucket rolled fully out,teeth down . As was stated before ... Makes a nice bench to sit on while the machine warms up , and I get my boots on ! John

I don't hate them, just haven't found that I need one yet. Most of the dirt work I do is moving sand or topsoil that has been dumped in a driveway or yard. A toothbar wouldn't help here. And often my box blade with teeth is on for ballast, so can use the rippers if needed to loosen the ground.

Best wishes,
Ron

Rat,
If your bolts are short get a couple of acorn nuts. It the bolts stick out over about half an inch, get a couple of barrel nuts and put silicone in the ends of them.

Can't say I hate them, ain't got one on my FEL.

I took my toothbar off for the first time ever since installing it. I had to clean up a bunch of mud that had washed onto the neighbors driveway where _their_ snow-plow guy destroyed my silt fence.

Anyway, I thought it would be polite not to tear up their driveway and I was able to scrape it a lot cleaner without the toothbar.

I thought that the bolts would be rusted solid, but they actually came off pretty easy.
