Same tooth bar... but bought it used for $100 - had to cut it down a half inch or so to fit my bucket... was a fun welding project.
Yeah same thing happened to me only mine was too short so l cut it again.

The deep winter frost here pushes up rocks into the road surface. Every spring there is a new crop. Any that will stop my grader blade or snow plow I pull out. This one only had a knub showing but felt solid. You never know what lies unseen underneath.

@Gordon Gould, those are big rocks. Now you have a hole. I think you need a jack hammer attachment for your tractor, and just make gravel

Nice job!!! Find a few more of those and you could build a stone patio.

Interesting rock. Around here a rock of that size would be more rounded. That one looks like it was fractured off of a big brother down under.

We have all sizes and shapes of rock here. Nothing is what I would call typical. The top layer of earth is glacial till down to about 20 feet and most surface rocks come from that. Below the till is a couple hundred feet of shale bed rock. It has vertical grain from being folded up when a piece that broke off of Africa collided with America eons ago. The Connecticut River is in that fault line and is about 5 miles from here. Where the shale comes to the surface it is either ledge or like this.

The big glacial rocks can be rounded or angular. I have no shortage of them.

Thanks - that FrostBite grapple works well for me and what I do. Light, narrow, strong, and capable.
