New Piranha

[UpstateSC_Papi]

Nothing super exciting to most of you but super exciting to me! Came today! Unfortunately I'm gone until next week so looking forward to some 60 degree weather here in South Carolina mid-week so I can get it installed and mess around with it.

You should have a "ripping" good time with that implement.

Papi... your results may vary (doubt it), but this is perhaps the best thing of many, I added to my BX. Turned my glorified wheelbarrow into a digging machine. Lots of pics to prove it but I'm being lazy at the moment to post them. Enjoy... and welcome to the PTB club!

It’s so shiny, so new, so nice! I have been extremely happy with mine and hope you are with yours.

Installed mine about one month ago, really like it, improves the bucket by tenfold. Bob

Very nice!

Thanks all! Hoping to install Monday after work and play around with Tuesday after work. A lot of brush (privet), I'm hoping to rip away this winter!

I have two of them...excellent product! btw what I like is back dragging works well with it and a little increased bucket capacity, enjoy!

BXpanded made a special weld on Piranha bar for a well worn 60” bucket on a Kubota M59. The original cutting edge was worn back two inches on the sides, one inch front and the bevel worn on the bottom so a bolt on bar would not work. Night VS day difference in digging and brush removal.

Lawd have mercy! Had an hour or so yesterday (post-school, pre-Super Bowl party at the neighbors). Took about 30 minutes for me to get it installed on the bucket and then... wow... I might try to grab pictures of the aftermath, but brush (mainly privet) flying and lying everywhere! Fantastic!!!

I also have two, one for each tractor. Be careful around them, they can be real ankle biters!

Ha, yes I blast the corners of mine with red spray paint , just to add a little more awareness. If does catch my attention most times.

And they like taking bites out of the corners of your house and deck posts too!

I might have nicked up a few trees that I didn't intend on nicking up. Learning as I go!

I got mine 80% to keep ware off my bucket edge while moving snow etc. Then 20% cutting bush and a very little digging.

Yes... It does require an amount of learning curve to remember just how far it sticks out and what angle to use it at. But is is easy enough to get used to. To date I have not tested its durability with my shins.. Knock on wood.

No snow here, pretty much ever so definitely 100% bush and digging. I can see where it would definitely help protect the bucket edge. Thing is crazy thick and well made! I have hit shins on trailer hitches, tongues, slipped getting on the tractor and bang the platform. I am probably pre-destined to hitting this thing at least once. :doctor:

Just keep it parked flat on the ground and don’t wear open toed shoes.
