I think Brock at Rockhill did a good toothbar comparison. He tested 3 bars and decided that the piranha was his favorite. But he also laid out the plusses and minuses of each. Great job on the mod!
I haven’t caught that video. I’ll check that out. 👍
The Piranha is absolutely amazing and back dragging with it is very good. High angle back dragging is relatively aggressive and low angle back dragging will give a smooth finish.
This is great information! I just assumed it wouldn’t work. 🤷🏼♂️👍👊
I would also suggest adding some bracing from the top of the bucket to the top of the adapter plate above the SAQA. There will be quite a bit of stress when lifting heavy loads in the bucket.
Love the channel.
Yeah, I’d say that’s a good idea. When I get some more welding wire I will do that…
As soon as I heard your grinder turn on, I knew it wasn't long for this world. If your looking to replace the grinder, The Harbor Freight 8 amp is excellent for the money. I have had just about every make grinder over the years and have burned up just about all of them. 3 years ago I bought the 8 amp and have used and abused it. I was so impressed I bought a second one a year later. As my name brands die, I will replace them with this unit. My Craftsman, one of the last holdouts, is making the same noise so today I will go buy another one. They are on sale for $30. I have have 5 grinders, each with a different implement of destruction mounted up.
Right on! Thanks for the info. I could hear it coming too. I was hoping to get through another project or two. lol. Guess a trip to Harbor Freight is in order.
I have the piranha tooth cutter from bxpanded. Well made.
Right on! Thanks!
Great video pal! $80 for bucket! Can’t beat that. Way to be resourceful.
Thanks! I’m pretty excited about it.
I made a grapple from scratch without a plate, angles aren’t that bad. That said, I use a piranha for my BX. It’s solid enough that it is fine for back dragging. Not as aggressive as some. I use smaller surfaces if I need max leverage.
Dang, that’s pretty ugly, I’d have used some flat stock to modify and avoid the weight of the extra steel. Good that you saved it though.
Great video. I have the BX panded piranha tooth bar and have used it for over 5 years- you can’t bend or break it. You won’t be sorry buying it. Good company they stand behind there products more than anybody else.
Awesome, thanks!
Great use of the old bucket. I would drill a few hole and bolt the ssqa to the bucket to make sure it they dont separate on u and a good tooth bar would look awesome on the bucket 😉
I could do that. I’m probably more interested in testing how strong my welds are. 😂🤣
Was thinking 'fish scales'.
I have the piranha on my 2680 works great!!
I have a BXpanded Piranha toothbar on my B series. It works well and has the ability to backdrag
Awesome, Thanks!
We went with the BXPanded tooth bar. It is sharp, and just like a knee killer hitch don’t walk too close if you value the skin on your legs.
Our most recent project has been laying down fill dirt as well as some A/B gravel. Like someone else said using the back of the bucket to smooth things works pretty well.
Good deal! I like the looks of the BXPanded bar. Seems like it would be very effective. Thanks for sharing!
I bought a tooth bar off vevor. It works well
Lucas: I just have the straight bar. It serves me well. Can't wait to see what you do next. I first thought that you were going to put the bucket on the side by side. Yikes!! Nice to see you are wearing a t-shirt. We are in almost deep freeze here. 😎
Yeah, we are getting hit with cold. We went from very nice weather down to well below freezing in just a couple of days.
Great video Lucas. I’d say it will make it pretty sweet to have multiple options.
Thanks! Yeah, I didn’t see letting it go to waste. 👊
I picked up a vevor skid steer toothbar on Amazon. After some modifications I made it work. I have also done the weld on plate on my bucket.
Right on! Thanks for sharing!
Man, don't kid yourself, you are definitely a tractor influencer!! Great job on the bucket but too bad your grinder lost its magic smoke. As far as a tooth bar goes, it depends on the kind of soil you have. Watch comparison videos from people in your area or with similar soil to see what works best. They all have strengths and weaknesses and you just might find the Kubota straight bar would do the best job.
That is actually a good suggestion. I’ll see what I can find. Thanks for watching! 👊
Piranha here as well. I did a lot of research before buying. Brock’s comparison sold me on it.
Right on! Ole Brock informed a lot of folks. That’s great.
Nice job. I have a Piranha tooth bar I bought a year and half ago when I bought my TYM 574 , and have not used it yet. I want to build me a stump bucket , I have 12 acres of nothing but scrub myrtle bushes all over the place, I could definitely put one to the test.
Right on! From the looks of the comments you won’t be disappointed.
I added the piranha tooth bar to mine. As far as hand grinder, seeing all the kobalt power tools you already have that would the logical choice for you. 😊
That is where I’m leaning on the grinder. I think cordless would be very handy!
Any time I see you with a welder in your hand, I know I need to watch 😁 I have a Piranha tooth bar because it helps dig, but I can also back-drag with it. BUT, with a dedicated dirt bucket, I would put some more aggressive teeth on it. Nice work on the ssqa 😁👍
Right on! So I wasn’t sure back dragging would work with the piranha tooth bar. That’s good info!
Been there done that with grinders. Knew it was done for 😂. Excellent price and that looks like a substantial backing plate. Maybe weld on plates from the vevor to the top of the bucket to add some top strength? Cheers. No clue on a toothed bucket as I don't think I need one. But definitely a scraper edge for sure.
Yeah I had a good run with this one, but I’m going to have to pick up a new one now…🤷🏼♂️😂
Only experience I have is with a "piranha" tooth bar. Seems to work ok.
Yeah Ive heard lots of good things about the piranha.
I think you are emotionally attached to that pin-on bucket....juss sayin'! 🤣🤣
Truth!
I have an AI2 reversible toothbar that I really like. That way you have the straight cutting edge or the toothbar. I can backdrag with the toothbar. I first saw it on Jon Ritter’s channel.
Great! Thanks for sharing. I just assumed back dragging with a tooth bar wouldn’t work. I’ll look for Ritter’s video. 👊
I’ll 2nd AI2’s reversible tooth bar. If any con it’s a little heavy but they all will add a bit of weight. I did take mine off for something and never did put it back on. How far are you from Charolette NC?
BXpanded Piranha bar for sure.
Seems to be the clear front runner… 👊
Nice job 👏 👍 🏆🏆👴🐕🚜🐕🤠🙏🙏😎💙
Thanks!
Thanks I am thinking that might be an option For my "clamp on forks" They are asking $600 for those units. You got my wheels turning .
I’ve been thinking along those lines as well. I’m hung up on how to retain adjustability on width…
We just get one from the dealership
Should have just cut the whole rectangle out of bucket that the pin mounts were welded to
Piranha is the one I went with - works great; think Sawing with Sandy got the same one?
I’ve heard lots of good things about the piranha.
Too bad about the grinder.
I like having a small one around, and went for a Makita this time.
It hums, with plenty of continuous duty power, but the switch is miserable. Woops on that decision.
I opted for a Titian stump bucket, in lew of a toothed edge. For one thing it is lite, adding to lift.
Good luck on the search.
Wonder what Biff uses.
Be well. Chris
Thanks for the heads up on the Makita. 👊
@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead It is taking me two hands to work the slider.
So I leave it on, when I should not.
BXPANDED
Thanks!
I don't use a tooth bar because I am not interested in stressing my FEL arms. Not sure FEs are intended to aggressively dig - that's why I purchased a backhoe and a box blade. I am however interest in the Vevor plate as I am in the midst of designing a FEL mounted carry all so my 3pt can have a chipper or forestry winch.
Nice! That is a good idea.
@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead let me know how the plate holds up to applied force and weld warpage
Well the plate didn’t warp any from the welds and tonight I used it with bucket forks to unload a 5’ pallet with 300# on it. The stress on the bucket with that weight hanging so far out was about all the bucket could handle without bending and everything held up fine.
@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead Did you buy the 1/4” or 5/16” Vevor plate. The Vevor plates average $225 to $250 in Canada. Thank you for the feedback on use.
The description on Amazon says 1/4” steel in one place and 3/16” in others. Here is a link to the exact one I used: www.amazon.com/dp/B098T1HPW1?peakEvent=4&dealEvent=1&th=1&linkCode=sl1&tag=peekspeakhobb-20&linkId=2837668af38f757eeea61c1300b6619b&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
It won't last four months.
