Inside width of 49" bucket for tooth bar?

[chelydra]

Well, it looks like I might soon be transitioning to a 1026R. Clearly gonna need a TB for digging, lifting rocks and logs, and general fearsome appearance. Surprising that Deere doesn't offer one - a liability issue, low demand, or what? Also seems that some of the TB suppliers rated highly here are no longer in the business. Suggestions for cheap-ish current dealers welcome.

I have found one place at a relatively reasonable price, but can't order w/o dimensions. Could someone here please give the exact inside width of the 49" bucket?

Thanks as always-

I suggest you wait until you get your tractor and measure your bucket (subtract 3/8" to 1/2" from the inside measurement for easy installation...use a couple washers as fillers).
Depending on another person to measure their bucket could result in a tooth bar you aren't satisfied with.

I have seen this one at Tractor Supply:
Ratchet Rake, LLC - Tractor attachment, Bucket attachment, Loader, Skid loader, Kubota, Skid steer, Landscape rake, Brush remover, York Rake, Harley Rake, Rock Rake, Tractor rake attachment, Construction attachment, New Holland, Bobcat, Fire safety,

Looked like it had a decent build, but I have not used one.

The inside dimension of the 49" bucket in the area where the toothbar mounts measures 49-3/8". You may also need to verify that the cutting edge thickness is 1/2" or less, which it is.

The toothbar mfr will adjust the width of the toothbar by design, usually about 1/4" per side. When you bolt on the toothbar, the ears are usually meant to bend outward to take up the gap.
