Another toothbar question

[netgeek]

I have a Kubota B21. I inquired with my dealer about getting a toothbar for my FEL and he told me that the entire kit would cost about $520. He said that he could sell me a new, heavy duty bucket with a toothbar kit for $985.

He said that the toothbar required a new cutting edge for $135 and the toothbar itself for $385. Is that high, or about right?

Thanks for the help,

My $270 toothbar did not require a cutting edge /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

mine cost 285. sounds like you need to shop around a bit.

Call Carvers for Kubota.

Way to much. Keep shopping around.

Find a Woods Equipment Dealer and they can order you one. If your loader has a bolt on cutting edge, you will need to order the heavy duty one. The standard toothbar retails for $265.00. You cut a hole in each end of the bucket to put the 2 bolts through. Or try EZ toothbar John

I can see no reason you will require a cutting edge replecemenent for a toothbar. Call Carver and send them about 300$ to solve your problem. Will deliver t in a weeks time.

On the toothbar subject, I see that the toothbar style that has the oval slot hole that the bolts through the ends of the bucket seems to me that this hole in the bucket would need to be towards the front of the oval hole so that if you wanted to use your bucket as a blade or for smoothing something all you would have to do is loosen bolts pull teeth forward and flip them up into bucket and retighten bolts( I assume thats why its and oval slot rather than just a round hole?? I am thinking correctly or not?)
Certainly it would take some space in bucket all depending on what your working with at the time but why would it be a slot vs. a hole??
I'm looking a getting one and my dealer has the kind you bolt to the bottom of the blade 3 or 4 bolts which is kinda permanent if you ask me ,I know if your smoothing you can use the back of the back of the bucket ,but what if your scooping up close to a wall or some other straight surface?? and can't come at it from the side.. I think I want the kind you can change quickly and want to know if this is it?? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I think the holes are oval to give you some room for error on your hole position. Not sure why else they would be oval. The flipping up thing wouldn't work, you'd have to take it off and put it back on that way.

I just put mine on last weekend. Haven't got a chance to try it out yet. The holes were kind of a pain to drill, I used a holesaw and shattered a bunch of pilot bits before I came up with an anternate solution.
