Toothbar Question

[Steve_Miller]

Finally bought some teeth to build a toothbar. What angle should I put on the leading edge of the flat bar that the teeth are to be welded to? I was thinking around a thirty degree bevel. Would it be of any benefit to bevel the back edge as well?

Thanks in advance
Steve

A bevel on the back edge may help the bucket dump slightly cleaner.

Steve;
I just finished building my toothbar. I bought my base bar from Markham. It comes already beveled and it matched my Kubota FEL bucket edge angle perfectly. I think the angle is somewhere between 20 and 25 degrees. I also thought about beveling the back edge but after using the new toothbar in Georgia clay I noticed that there was very little or no clay sticking to the back edge of the toothbar. You can always try it out and bevel it later. Good luck.

Do you have a web site for Markham, et ux?
I'd like to see some pictures.

I did find a nice look toothbar for $125 plus $20 shipping at this site. http://www.johnnyproducts.com/
