Do bucket teeth make a difference?

, not quite as mean as Island's grapple but still tough none the less. Also as a side benefit it protects the factory cutting edge on the bucket, no need to spend $100 on a replaceable after market edge.

I've also been able to dig out and transplant some six foot blue spruce trees and save trees that would have been trashed in my recent project. Obviously not as effective on these tasks as a backhoe, but a nice compromise in between. If you're thinking about installing one, do it and don't look back, you will not be sorry. If teeth on a bucket weren't a major digging productivity increaser than why do all industrial hoes and excavators have them? I say go for it.

Definitely more Pros than Cons. I've dug with my FEL before and after installation, the toothbar makes all the difference in the world for digging, grubbing and popping small stumps. It genuinely makes your bucket much more efficient in compacted, rocky and vegitated soils. The only con IMO is if you need really smooth finish when leveling with the bucket, personally I don't need that smooth a surface with the bucket. That's what they make rakes and RBs for. If I did I would simply remove the bar, couldn't take more than five minutes on my setup. I don't notice any deforming in the bucket edge, if anything it re-enforces it, and I've hooked some sizable rocks/roots with one tooth on mine enough to stop the tractor, loss of traction and made the loader hit relief. With some practice I've been able to root out decent sized rocks(and I've got no lack those things round here) and pop out small stumps. No way I'd have done either w/o a toothbar. Plus it just makes the front of your tractor look tough, not quite as mean as Island's grapple but still tough none the less.
