Toothbar

[jay_ch28]

Hey Guys,
I've heard alot of you talking about putting toothbars on your buckets. How helpfull are these? Is it really worth putting one of these on? I priced out a woods toothbar and the dealer wanted $350. That seems really high to me!?! It would be going on a TC35D.

Any thoughts suggestions?

Thanks
Jay

It depends on what you are doing.

IF you are digging, a toothbar is a very valuable time saver. If you are simply moving mulch, rock/gravel, compost, etc from piles, or cleaning out barn stalls then it might not be worth it to you.

Generally put, the right tool for the right job will make the job much easier and faster. If you are digging with your FEL, a tootbar is the right tool.

Really depends on what u want to do , i have had mine for quite awhile, for digging in hard dirt, can;t be beat, for moving brush and blowdons very handy.i bought mine from carvers, of course mine is just 48 in and i paid$255 delivered, but that was 3 years ago. but i would still check with them. you are speaking of a removeable tooth bar right?

Jay I've heard some TBNers say that a tooth-bar is like a bucket on steroids. I'm not speaking from 1st hand experience as mine has yet to be delivered. But after reading a lot of positive posts I am looking forward to using it.

It is a must have item.

You will not be going into a shredded mulch pile without one....
Ice piles are not a problem either.... anything you need to get under, that clumps, holds, or needs to be smaller, a toothbar will help you out.

Plus, it is removable...... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Greatest thing around. Mine was $270 delivered. Took under 30 mins to install and it is this easy
