max 28 tooth bar

[John32369]

What would be a good tooth bar to put on my Max 28's bucket?

As the bucket does not have a repalceable edge a WL Long bolt on would work.

Piranha tooth bar. It's awesome and takes your capabilities to the next level. There is a thread on here with tons of great reviews. I have it on my max28. Uses just 2 bolts to mount it.

I purchased an everything attachment tooth bar. You will have to drill two holes in the side of your bucket though to affix the bar. The bar that has the teeth attached- is beefy and will protect your existing buckets edge. I do like the looks of the Piranha, but tend to use teeth on my bar as "hooks for chains/straps for moving whatever".
Works good, and have no regrets buying at all.

I am curious, it looks like on Piranha that you could slice small trees off as its base.... I wonder if that presents a problem as spikes are left in it's wake. Tire puncture issue's maybe, perhaps someone that uses that type of bar can chime in?

Personally i would go with the WR Long flat bottom tooth bar. We sell quite a few and have had no complaints or problems

the piranah will not slice a tree off at the base. You come up to a small tree, catch it on the teeth, drive forward and lift and you pop them out of the ground like a dandelion. i have cleared almost an acre of woods with it, dug 100 yards of dirt, and dug out stumps with it. Looks brand new still. No bent teeth. No movement on the bucket. Solid as a rock. I have used the teeth as a hook to lift and drag 18" oak logs from the woods without issues.

Just from looking at the photos of the piranah , it seens like tyhe cutting edge does not have much if any of a bevel. Is that the case?

As the max has a wider bucket than the BX, I expect this would be a custom bar. Any aidea of what the cost is?

Custom length but same cost. Measure per their instructions as the max28 had 2 different size buckets during production. Mine measures inside 52". Cutting edge has a significant bevel. I think 45deg. Here are some pictures.

Thanks for the Pictures.

Reasonable price and will ad a bit more capacity to the bucket. My bucket is just shy of 52-1/2" inside dims., so anyone who orders best measure exact,as the welders are not real fussy.

Be very careful when welding/cutting/ and adding anything to a tractor under warranty. I would first add up what your looking at putting into it and then price an actual rock bucket and see what you think from there

On you Max 28, What tasks have you been able to do with it with the new toothbar?

 

[drajj5]

The tooth bar that you are asking about is the traditional one. It has several long Teeth that are spread out the width of it.

Tasks I have used it for

digging/scooping - helps to break up the ground with clay soils. Will add to your bucket capacity if you scoop mulch (works really well)

used it as a hoist - Probably not supposed to; but a chain/strap around a tooth lifted implement's such as tillers and mowers from trailer. awkward car parts like axles and engines it will move as well.

Firewood - when we get a bucket full to tote to the house my son uses those teeth to get just a bit more in that bucket.

It is a tool that in my opinion adds to the functionality of ones tractor and can reduce wear on it by breaking up the surface area on a bucket when digging/scooping. You will not regret installing it on yours, I have yet to hear anyone wish they didn't purchase this great attachment.

I purchased the Tractor Supply tooth bar and found it very useful

Mikemahindrah... I see no toothbar listed on the TSC website. Any more info?

They DO carry Ratchet Rakes, which are a great tool for a variety of tasks. John32369, you'd really enjoy that, if you have any clearing or brushwork to do.
I have the Piranha toothbar, and it's great for cutting into gravel, mulch or stone; removing brush and small trees, etc. I have found that I need to pull it off
when attaching the Ratchet Rake though, because it does not seat well, because there are so many support wedges on the Piranha, so the Ratchet won't seat squarely.

Paul,
Yes your correct. That is what I have. Thanks for correcting me.
