Tooth Bar

WVBill · Jul 15, 2003

( As to the sickle guards, they are mallable cast iron ( designed to be bent with a hammer) and probably will not last very long at all at a dirt/ tar/ rock worker. Might do the one job fine that the person has in mind with the tar, but do not plan on a long-lasting item. Just a heads up to others thinking of it. )

I'm going into my third year with my sickle-guard tooth bar and have not broken one yet. I've used it for moving gravel, mulch, and dirt piles, leveling an area for a patio and an area for an above-ground pool, tipping up large rocks, etc. I have a small loader on my Kubota B6100 so the amount of force I can apply is not as great as a bigger machine - but that's one of the main reasons I went this way. Commercial toothbars have teeth half the size of my FEL bucket!

Where did you order the toothbar for $270 shipped?

Toothbar was picked up today. Man is that thing beefy looking. I'll post some pics during and after installation hopefully tomorrow.
I could have had it shipped here, but as I said earlier, I ordered it from a member here and wanted to meet him so I picked it up this afternoon.

That was my first reaction when I saw mine! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif I've had it over a year now and still think about how stout it is when I put it on or take it off. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Dollar for dollar it stands as one of the best tractor related buys I've made. I can't imagine being without mine now.

Toothbar is installed, complete with photos in the Photo Forum.
Thanks to Jeff at Brownies Tractors (aka Kiohio here on TBN) for the quality toothbar.
