Toothbar ordering

[G-grandpa]

First post here for me!
New tractor should arrive in the next month or longer, LX 2610SU with 60” bucket. I would think that others here have pre ordered a bar without taking a physical measurement.
My question for others with the same bucket are what measurment did you give them and how did it turn out?

thanks in advance!

Here is what I gave EA for my 60" B2356 bucket and it fit perfectly. The measurements on the newer B2372 buckets may be slightly different.

Inside measurement 58 1/8"
Outside measurement 60"
Cutting edge width 3/8"

I have a B2650HSDC with a 60” ssqa light material bucket that measures 58 1/8 “ on the inside. I used 58” to order my piranha tooth bar from BXpanded on 4-3-21 still waiting on the delivery so I can’t tell you if 58” will fit. I‘ve had my tractor for two years now but I wouldn’t think that the bucket size would have changed. I guess this post is more to inform you to be prepared to wait if you order from BXpanded.

Thanks for those measurements!

I have a B2650 with QA light materials bucket. I used 58 inches for my Piranha Tooth and it fit properly. Two things:
Be ready for some drilling effort. My step drill was "done for" by the time I was done.

Your are gonna love the edge. It makes any digging task much easier. It is also great at uprooting unwanted stuff. I only remove mine for snow removal.

Good luck with you new Kubota!

I used a Milwaukee 3/4" hole saw and it didn't even smoke without cutting oil. You can get them from home depot for ~$10.

+2 on using a hole saw. Hole saws are a very versatile tool and are often overlooked.

Recieved and installed my Piranha Tooth Bar today and can confirm that on my bucket as listed above, fit with no problems. Although the bolts provided could have been a quarter inch longer, I had to use a C clamp on the side of the bucket and bracket to draw the two together to get enough thread engagement for wrenching the nut tight.

Now to find some time to try that bad boy out
