Anyone tried the ai2 toothbar for a BX bucket?

I don't have one. I've got a Piranha toothbar. Happy with it. I've heard of problems with mounting the Ai2. Can't attest to that. No problems mounting the Piranha.

I was looking at the Piranha but liked that the ai2 used the factory holes so I did not need to drill holes.

Both have advantages/disadvantages.
BXpanded is easy to take on/off (as I do for winter to put on bucket skids)
The Ai2 does have the advantage that you don't have to drill any holes..... and if you don't plan on taking it off (or not often) I think it may be the better choice.
I do have one of the only BX23s that has a pin-on bucket..... So I have the BXpanded bucket forks, and their tooth bar is designed for those forks.

Good point, that is lots of bolts to remove and I do want the option of a straight edge to back drag.

I have the Kubota add-on edge already so the reversible part of the ai2 is not as important.
