Toothbar required. Too much resistance from the loader blade. There is no way to get around the need for one. It's the cheapest, most productive item you can add to your machine.

The BH works good to break up the dirt .
So does the tiller .
Some times I use the BH and then the tiller depending on what I'm going to use the dirt for & how fine I want it.

I like it, but when driving into a large pile of dirt, as noted in the attached picture, the engine will die out unless I put in the clutch. I then let out the clutch and can curl it and start to lift and it's ok. Newbie at this Live Hydraulics Loader thing, so probably doing something wrong.

The trick in a pile of dirt like this is to know when to curl and lift the bucket.
It takes a little pratice but it comes to you.
Don't wait to lift the load after your jamed tignt into the pile.
If this happens to me i simply back the tractor up while raising the fel,It's easy and quick to do this with my BX23 thanks to the HST.
Work from near the top of the pile down not from the ground up.

Here are a couple more tricks I use depending on the situation and what i plan on doing with the dirt.
1/ Use the BH to break up the dirt
2/ I have a 1967 Bolens with a tiller on the back that i just back the tiller into the dirt pile and till it up.

Sometimes i use 1 followed by 2.

Hope this helps you out a bit.
