Good video! I have a Piranha Toothbar and really enjoy it, I think I looked at a similar video someone else did before measuring. My cutting edge was a mess so I beveled a piece of flat stock and welded an addition to the cutting bar. I was concerned about it being too thick but it worked fine. I used my welder when needed to build up the top of the cutting edge were it made contact with the Piranha bar so as to get a snug fit. If my cutting edge had been completely flat this wouldn't had been necessary. I was impressed with how well the step drill bit they recommend works.
Thanks for sharing Douglas! I love hearing the stories of others experiences. Its the best way to learn. Sounds like you are a bit of a fabricator. Yeah those step drill bits are amazing. Well we are heading out for pizza! gotta go catch ya later. Terry.
Looking forward in a few months when you guys are able to get back to building! Nothing ever exciting ever happens out here in Southern California, so I'm depending on the two of you!!😉😉
Thanks for your video and I will probably be visiting your installation video, when I get mine. Who knows when that will be, they say they are running with reduced staff at this time, because of the virus.
@@ForestToFarm , Thanks. You are right and I know I will never get rid of them, but hope to thin them out a bunch. My wife pulls the small ones when soil is wet and cuts a lot with loppers and treats with straight glyphosate she carries with one of those little round wire dopper like comes in a bottle of liquid silicone waterproofer .
We were surprised at just how heavy duty it is. Pretty sure its gonna far exceed our expectations.Thanks for watching and we hope to get lots more videos for the foreseeable future. Terry
I was really set on getting this and decided to get a bolt-on teeth kit because I stack a lot of firewood. I switched to 2x4 pallets and clamp on pallet forks would not have worked with this bar. Aside from that, it looks great in the video. The question is, how does it work?
Hey Jason. I bet you could rig a set of clamp on pallet forks that would work in conjunction with the tooth bar. Also it is removable and only requires removing the two screws so there is always that option. The big advantage for you with fire wood would be that you have a longer bottom of the bucket from one end to the other with the tooth bar that would not be the case for the standard bolt on teeth. I am not going to lie to you we have not had a good chance to put it to work in any capacity yet. We did play around with it one day for a bit and it was amazing. Very good investment. Keep an eye out and we will be doing a video, probably several over the coming year(s) showing how well it works. Some with the Piranha and some without for comparison. I think its going to do far better than the bolt on teeth personally based on my limited skid steer experiences having similar teeth. This is the one product I have dealt with that I have not found one person say anything but good about it. That says a lot to me and most people talk very highly of it. Hope this helps a bit. Terry
The original bucket edge is just a straight piece of steel. It does not cut into the dirt very well if at all. This Piranha tooth bar cuts dirt better, will rip small shrubs, brush or small trees out of the ground with ease. Plus it preserves the life of the bucket edge. Terry
I recently added a Piranha Tooth Bar to my JD and it works great. I also made a PVC guard that goes over the teeth when not in use. Not to protect the teeth, but to protect me and the grandkids when we're in the barn. Might make a good follow-up video.
Great idea George. That edge could bite for sure. We have thought and talked about needing to make sure its down when not in use but the PVC edge protector would be a great addition. May have to do that and if so we will do a video giving credit to you on the idea! Terry
Dear Terry, May I inquire what the dickens have you got in mind for your tractor? You merely acquired it a few months back, it's virtually virginal ( well almost!!!); what is that bar designed for??? Very good presentation, maybe next time you're thinking of getting another accessory, perhaps you might suggest to the party concerned that you'll do a free presentation for them in order to get it for almost if not free!!!. very well done. Kind regards.
Ha ha, It strengthens the bucket and also makes it much easier to dig or move piles of dirt or rocks or whatever needs scooping up and moving. Plus its just plain cool! I like free!!! :) We enjoy doing these videos. Terry
@@ForestToFarm Dear Terry, Thank you very much for your courteous & hearted reply. As one who is totally ignorant of heavy equipment, it's good to learn now & again. It would be nice to see a demo with & without to see the difference. Now I guess what's missing is a back hoe, maybe a custom paint job with some go faster flames on the sides. Keep up the good work, now start digging the foundations. Kind regards.
@@ForestToFarm Dear Terry, Thank you for the courteous & hearted reply. if the go faster flames are out of the question; how about bolting a couple of real flame throwers either at the front or back depending on your styles of driving to get rid of the weeds. It's the perfect excuse for doing your meanest baddest renegade M.F ( Master Farmer that is; you were probably thinking of something else weren't you???) routine. A precursor of the monumental task at hand to come if you will. Kind regards.
Sadly no we have not. We have had record rain fall here for months and in addition when it is clear out, what few days there are, we are swamped with work. Its on our agenda and the first good day we plan to get out and do that plus we want to do a little review of how it works. Thanks for checking in! Terry
@@ForestToFarm Though I have the B2601, apparently I have the same 54" bucket. Did you find the 52" Piranha bar to be just the right size for your bucket?
@@jamessaunders7359 We did slide it on the bucket but still have not found the time to finish mounting it due to work and rainy days. There will be a video up soon about it. To answer your question the best I can at this point it fit very well best I can tell at this point. Terry
I agree but some people are not as mechanically inclined as others. I saw on one of the tractor forums where a guy measured the outside of the bucket. Pretty sure that did not end well, lol. Terry
Hey Mike. You posted on the wrong video here. Its the Giveaway video that you need to post on. I have made basically the same mistake, lol. I posted comments to one video about a different one, ha ha. Then later saw what i did and was like "what?" Terry
Thanks guys.....helped me with a perfect fit and install. Can't wait to give it a go!
Dupe

Thanks for the reply and I will be looking forward to future videos. Hope you enjoyed that Pizza.
Your welcome, many coming soon, delicious!

Thanks! That's what we are here for.

thanks for this video going to be ordering the tooth bar
Still loving ours!
Terry
Thanks for your video and I will probably be visiting your installation video, when I get mine. Who knows when that will be, they say they are running with reduced staff at this time, because of the virus.
PS: I ordered mine for one reason and that was for removal of those dreaded invasion of Asia Autumn Olive !
Your welcome. Hope you get it soon. Those Asia Autumn Olive are a nightmare!!

@@victorcastle1840 Its gonna be a life time battle for the both of us I fear.
Terry
great video, can you still back drag and smooth off dirt with the piranha blade?
You are welcome. Its back drags good enough for our needs. We are not professionals at tractor work though.
Terry
I love my toothbar I think you guys will enjoy it. Like the videos keep it up.
We were surprised at just how heavy duty it is. Pretty sure its gonna far exceed our expectations.Thanks for watching and we hope to get lots more videos for the foreseeable future.

Perfect. Thanks
Thanks and you're welcome. Just got off the tractor! That tooth bar still kicks butt.
Terry
Thanks Terry.
That thing is a game changer. Everything I can find on it says its a beast and will make your tractor abilities soar.
Terry
Thank you for this information. I like learning new things! What is that particular add on used for exactly?

Ha ha that would probably do the trick but the problem is we like our weeds. They are all natural and exactly what we want. :)
Terry
So when I order my tooth bar can I just select bx models or do I have to measure it
You have to measure for the best fit.
Terry
Have you posted the video of the tooth bar installation?
Sadly no we have not. We have had record rain fall here for months and in addition when it is clear out, what few days there are, we are swamped with work.

A Piranha Tooth bar is next on the list of mods for my tractor!
Pretty sure its one of the best improvements you could make.
Terry
Did you see/ enter our 5K giveaway? We have a video up where you can enter.
Terry
Seems obvious!
I agree but some people are not as mechanically inclined as others. I saw on one of the tractor forums where a guy measured the outside of the bucket. Pretty sure that did not end well, lol.

I'm in......nice video

Lol already post comment on that one too....lol
Thanks guys.....helped me with a perfect fit and install. Can't wait to give it a go!
Glad to be of help!
