Looking for a tooth bar for my new L3200 with a 66" SSQA bucket. So far my research has dug up:


All seem to be in the same general price range. Most look pretty similar, except the piranha. I like the smooth back dragging ability of the piranha, but won't use the brush clearing/ripping abilities (just finished brush hogging 90% of my property just fine last weekend).

Anybody have any recommendations for these or any other tooth bars or other related thoughts? Durability? Value? All look to mount with the same 2 bolts on the side, so not a huge differentiation there.

I personally have the W.R. Long and am really happy with it. It's been put through it's paces around here.

I too have the W R Long, Whatever you get make sure you can replace the teeth easily. I also have a Ratchet Rake, The Toothbar is better.

I have the one from Iowa Farm Equipment, and I can't begin to describe the punishment I've put it through! Take a look at the chunk of concrete I dug up, and then pushed/rolled over to a deep hole...it was beating the heck out of those teeth, and didn't do a thing to them. I don't even want to know what this weighed!

If not doing lots of brush work, I would prefer a conventional tooth bar for the ability (longer teeth) to carry a log.

The only concern I'd have with lots of backblading use of the bucket with any of these toothbar/ratchet rake tools is possibly wracking the loader arms if too much downpressure is put on the bucket edge. At some point it makes sense to use a boxblade or similar to do driveway grading and such- JMHO. I have a ratchet rake and a BB.
