You should add a tooth bar to your bucket

Having trouble using your tractor bucket on hardened dirt? A tooth bar can help break through the tough surface, making it easier to load up and move material with ease.

Tooth bars are not expensive, and they sure make a tremendous difference!

I added a toothbar to my B6200. It's really helpful digging into the rocky clay I have where I live.
It's also great at keeping larger things (air compressors, firewood, chainsaws, etc.) from falling out of the bucket while driving around.

I love my piranha tooth bar, it rips soil, shrubs, trees out of the ground. I grade my gravel driveway with it, and really strengthen my bucket bottom.

I added the Pirahna tooth bar a few months ago. It makes a huge difference -- cuts through soil like soft butter now.

I’m amazed at how a simple toothbar turned my BX bucket into a better digging machine. I’ve been looking for one for my L3940.
*Keep on tractoring!*

They make a huge difference. I was amazed. I run my bolts in. Easier on the pant legs.

Yes, got one with the MX5000.
It work's well on the wife's hair.

A tooth bar makes an incredible difference in digging ability. I need one for my MX 5400 but I have a bolt on cutting edge. It’s nice to know that they also make tooth bars that work with buckets that have the extra bolt on cutting edge. I will be contacting Messicks about purchasing one. Thanks Neil

I made a clone of the Heavy Hitch one. Good also for brush pickup, you can “comb” the branches up.
Picking up small logs.
Popping under brush out of the ground
Snagging down wild grape vines.
Lots of other stuff. It is a force multiplier for the tractor.

Added a wear bar and a Piranha bar on top of that to my BX25. Makes a huge difference removing hardpack snow and breaking down old snow berms.

i have a heavy hitch tooth bar - like it due to easy on and off

Huh, I thought a tooth bar was a social gathering place for dentists!..

[JohnBoyd-xv]

If digging in mounds of river rock or crushed lime rock……. Thoughts on advantage of adding the teeth?

Niel, how come you people do not use a 4 in bucket, greatest invention yet, love mine. Karl from Australia

Would it be safe to say that farmers are using their buckets incorrectly? Use what you got kinda deal. The buckets seem to be designed for loading and offloading.

I'm a little surprised the nuts are on the outside of the bucket. Seems like that would be a higher risk of snagging something than putting them on the inside. Seems like ideally the toothbar would be threaded and the bolt would screw into it. I can see issues with that too, but I like the idea better than using a bolt where the excess thread can get damaged and make removing the nut a lot more difficult.

Great video! Does Messicks have a tooth bar for New Holland WM 25s? With the coupler bucket?
