Thanks to the information I got from this forum I knew about the Piranha when ordering my BX25D new. I ended up having it sent directly to the dealer and they installed it perfectly. Not a big deal but it was convenient. Also my bucket edge is "virgin" having never done work without the protective Piranha. With the rocks around here that is a big advantage.
Just a suggestion if anyone is buying new and thinking of a Piranha.

Post some video of it in action, I'd like to see it removing some small saplings or over growth

Just purchased one for my LA504 fel I have on the b3200. Hope that the wife won't yell too much.
I'll try to do a little video of the install and maybe some loader work when I get it. My lot I use the tractor on is about a mile down the road and I don't have a trailer of my own yet. Have to borrow neighbors truck and trailer. Luckily they own the property next to mine. So it may be awhile before I get a video of it.

I used my Piranha toothbar yesterday to break up some thin concrete spread on a buddys driveway that wants to make an apron into his new shed. The teeth are large and tough, stand the teeth straight up and wiggle the bucket a bit and it will vibrate a nice straight path.
Here is the toothbar helping me get some large poplar out of a creek bed. If nothing else, the extra length of the teeth sticking out are a huge plus when trying to scoop a large branch..etc...

I would like to see a pic of the bottom of the bucket after install if anyone has one.
Curious how much overlap it has on the bucket.
Looks like a really nice product. Thanks

Red,
I dont have a picture to show you, but the 1/2 thick plate steel slides under the bucket (by about an 1 or so) and the edge of the bucket is locked into the vertical runners. So the tooth bar is under the bucket too. Back dragging is even better, there is that 1/2 lip to grab rocks or whatever. It is well worth the price and shipping. It not only adds strength to the cutting edge, it multiplies the cutting edge 10 fold, plus it allows you about another 3, 4 inches of "scoop"
That's what I needed to see...many thanks for your efforts.These pics should help. These show the PTB on a BX23.
That thing looks killer!
It has arrived. Can't wait to install it and use it.
I do want to share my experience with ordering. I originally ordered the custom 54" toothbar because that's what I thought I had. Bxpanded had put my order on hold because they figured I ordered the wrong size. And they were right. I guess I should have known my own bucket size but I didn't. After speaking with them they fixed my mistake and cut the correct one for me. They are an awesome company to order from. I would highly recommend anyone looking for mods to their tractors to check them out.

I put mine on a week ago and have used it for rocks, dirt and black berries. It is doing everything I wanted and more. It makes my "Thumb", which is outstanding, even better. I have had the "Thumb" for about a year and wish I had added the toothbar at the same time. The pictures show only two of many piles I am working on.

Just installed mine today and used it for an hour or so. Harry is, indeed, a very helpful guy. I bought the step bit from him also for getting to the necessary 3/4" hole and it also worked as advertised. I like the tooth bar very much so far but am sure I'll enjoy it more once I get better acquainted with my new BX2360 and its capabilities..
You guys can get a good quality step bit for $7 and a really good one for $15. Took 5 min to drill and install. This thing works great. Moved 5 yards of clay like dirt regrading the back of my rental house this week.
Got the bucket expander for other work. Looks good but needs better packaging. Was bent to a trapezoid during shipping. It'll straiten but still annoying.

Got the piranha bar installed when I bought my bx back in May. Love it it's well worth the money
