Front-End Loader Need Idea: FEL TB Caps 2 Not Gouge Garage Pad Taking FEL On/Off

[Tom_H]

I posted the following in the Kubota Owning and Operating Forum. I am reposting here, in hopes that others will have ideas to contribute as well. I am posting a link below to the original post, so that all replies can be in the same thread.

I keep the BX 2200 and all the implements in the garage. If I leave the Markham tooth bar (5 teeth) on the FEL when removing the FEL, it gouges the concrete when removing and also when reattaching, so I take the toothbar off before removing the FEL. (My FEL front edge has to be at 20 degrees down tilt for removal.)

I know I could come up with something to quickly and easily cover the teeth prior to FEL removal so I don't have to take the TB off, but I figure someone else likely already has a solution.

Any ideas? Pics welcome!
Thanks guys.

If you have the holes drilled for the tooth bar in the forward part of the oval hole loosen the bolts slide it forward and it should flip in to bucket.

Then you only have the straight edge to deal with.

How about laying down a piece of channel iron as wide as the bucket and setting the edge w/teeth on that?
