It’s flat backed to allow easy back dragging for smoothing or, when tilted downward, can rake out roots and grass clumps to leave a prepared seed bed. The multi-depth tooth pattern and its bevels and angles provide real “grabbing power” that simply eats up small trees and saplings. The Piranha is the result of extensive testing and is intended for use in digging as a traditional tooth bar with the added capabilities of brush and weed clearing and landscaping and ground prep work. You can also back drag with your bucket and get a flat surface much better than the other tooth bar styles.' I moved a lot of dirt last Fall and the tooth bar was required to get the dirt loose. I am so glad I bought the Piranha over any others. Installs in less time than it takes to BBQ a steak - you won't believe how easily your Piranha can chew your backyard mountain into a molehill!!'Īnother says: 'The BXpanded Piranha toothbar is awesome! I tried digging into some large dirt piles that have been sitting for a number of years and with no tooth bar on the bucket it did not work. The Piranha Tooth Bar slices and gouges its way through the toughest terrain converting the front loader into a weapon of mass destruction.

The Piranha is a multi-function attachment that one user called “An unbelievable tool that turns your. Please select your actual inside bucket width above or email us at for more information. I wouldn't do it this way for a bucket.Īdded: The under side mounting allowed me to do all welding on the bolt on cutting edge, flipping them over some of the welds would have been on the bucket wasting the advantage of the bolt on edge.The Piranha ® is custom built to fit your loader bucket based on actual inside bucket width. The downside, if I were grading, the teeth leave marks and you can't clean up a hard surface as the cutting edge never touches. I opted to use backhoe style shanks and put the teeth upsidedown, when picking up logs, I don't have to force the log over the teeth shanks. Loader teeth shanks mount on the inside of the bucket and the flat side of the tooth is on the ground (also opposite of a backhoe bucket).

Now you need to make sure you get the correct shanks for your application, backhoe bucket teeth shanks mount on the outside, or back of the bucket. As you can see, I went with 8 teeth on that also. I've got a 60 tooth bucked for my Bobcat 743, it's got 8 teeth, including on the outside corners.Īfter buying my 60' grapple, I added teeth to that so it could be used as a 'rake' to gather small debris. Should the outermost teeth go right at the outside edges? Should I maybe go with 6 teeth? The teeth on a backhoe bucket are spaced much closer together than what is typically seen on a FEL bucket - I'm wondering what the advantages / disadvantages are to having more or less teeth on the bucket. They also don't put the teeth right at the outside edges. My final question I need to answer is : how many teeth? And what kind of spacing?Īre more teeth better than less? For a 54' bucket typically I believe the toothbars come thru with five or six teeth. (they make one for a 5/8' cutting edge - which is what the Kubota bucket appears to have). I also finally found what I think will be the best weld on teeth to use to do this: Hensley 156 line. I have the quick attach on the FEL - and it's relatively painless to swap implements - far less painless to swap the entire bucket than it is to take a toothbar off and on. The plan is to weld teeth onto the bucket itself and make the 54' bucket and just swap the entire bucket when I want to go from straight edge to toothed edge. Then I bought a 54' bucket - and I'm going to use that exclusively for digging. I got the 60' bucket and I'll use that for hauling material and clearing snow - etc. After struggling with a tooth bar - I decided last year that instead of going the toothbar route, what I was going to do was just have two buckets for the FEL on my Kubota B3200.
