I have had the Tooth bar for a long while now. Perfect for digging into stuff. I also bought the straight bar this year to help protect my front bucket edge. i do a lot of back dragging and the straight was a nice add on.
We all kinda knew this was coming....and even despite the increase, the toothbar itself is almost priceless - well worth the $300 by the time it ships. It doubles or triples the "digging" power of a regular bladed FEL, helps with back dragging and finally is one bad mofo when it comes to taking out small trees!I have several BXpanded products. Not the tooth bar though, but I am very happy with the quality of the items I do have. The price of steel has gone up recently, so you can kind of expect that in all items/implements that require it. As noted above, that little increase will not be noticed when you start using it.
I would love to have a backhoe but I doubt that it would get nearly as much use as the toothbar has, at least in my case.You guys are making it sound like that Piranha Toothbar will out dig Bill's backhoe. You'll have him seeing if they'll do a trade in!
To paraphrase a now disgraceful company's slogan, Just do it! You will not regret it.
Well, on sale or not, it's on it's way now. Sounds like they are a very useful add in any event.
