<font color=blue>Good or bad idea guys?</font color=blue>
A very good idea if you want to dig into anything other than loose material.

I would not do that. I like to be able to back blade with the FEL and this would be impossible with teeth.
When faced with hard stuff, I loosen it up with the tiller which I use as ballast weight instead of the ballast box but you do have to be more careful when backing up.
Boy I miss the mirrors on my B7000,

I put teeth on the FEL of my BX2200 and I have made good use of them. As to the problem noted by one of the posters, the teeth on my FEL are bolted to the FEL in such a way that I can remove them quite easily.

Woodstock,
I have a toothbar on my TC40D and am able to backblade with the toothbar installed. Instead of using the front edge of the bucket I just use the back edge. Took some getting used to initially but recently noticed that the owner's manual suggests using the back of the bucket.
Just my 2 cents...

i have a detachable toothbar for my 2400. find it very useful for digging hard packed dirt or diging tree roots. if u need to back drag when it is on , use back part of bucket. if u really need to use front edge, 2 mim. and bar is off. very useful. well worth the price!!

Excellent idea. It takes all of about a minute to put the tooth bar on (or off) - just two nuts (or is that too nuts...)/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
Do it - you'll be amazed how much faster the work goes in hard-packed ground.

I bought mine through my local dealer. For my 60" HD bucket on my 'bota it cost me about $300. Just had to drill a 5/8" hole on each side of the bucket and that was it. I think my bar was from SMC (out in the Dakotas if I remember right). I have the replaceable tips, though the thing is built so heavy I may never need to.
