Your toothbar will work fine for piling brush. You may loose a sapling under the bucket now and then and have to back up to retrieve it but they still get the job done. Once you get one or two trees collected in the bucket, they will tend to push the rest in front as long as you have the power and traction to push them. Just push them up into as big of a pile as you can then start another one.
Try to avoid trapping dirt in the pile. Go slow and watch for those stumps so that if you do accidently hang one, you are going slow enough that you wont damage your FEL.
Lay the bucket lip flat on the ground then tilt it up just slightly and it will slide over most stumps but be aware that if you tilt it too much, limbs and small trees are also going to slide under it.
By the way, I don't have a toothbar on my B26 and it does an adequate job of piling brush. My other tractor had one and it was much easier to gather up all the limbs with it.
