Piranha Toothbar
- Thread starter shiraz627
- Start date
I just removed my piranha bar yesterday before winter sets in. Five minutes its off. I like the smooth edge of the bucket to scrape the pavement bare around the house and work shop. I know the 'bar' would peel up the hot top.
Snowing hard here this morning. Its coming.

Hello all,new here and just purchased an L2501 w/LA525 a few days ago. My loader came with SSQA and a 66 inch bucket which my dealer says is now standard size when you opt for the quick attach. BTW...no hooks but I already got my Kens bolt on hooks! I also ordered a PTB today.

Welcome to the forum. The hooks will probably come in handy especially during deer season if you want to use your tractor to raise the deer while you dress it. Since I shoot deer on my own land I can very handily use my tractor to help me with the dressing and hanging of the deer.
Anyway, you did not mention the Piranha tooth bar. That should be on your bucket list (pun intended). Anyway, I have never heard or read a bad review or comment on the Piranha bar so you may want to consider that as a priority item for purchase.
Update... I ordered a Piranha Tooth Bar this past Sunday (12-2), it shipped yesterday and is scheduled for delivery on Thursday. These guys rock!
Ordered one for our BX. Got the step bit to boot.
Delivered in three days, installed last weekend.
I was impressed with how heavy the bar is and how easy it was to mount. The step bit works great.
Ground is frozen pretty good now so no real test on digging, but I managed to pop out some scrub brush with little effort.
Looking forward to some above freezing temps so I can do some digging.

Another plus for the PTB- as someone stated earlier, this thing cuts roots like mad.
It slices through roots that would have stopped the tractor previously, requiring me to stop, dismount, and chop them with an axe. Now I just have to pull chopped roots out of the bucket of dirt/fill.

Mine showed up today! My bucket was already drilled for the Piranha straight ("toothless") bar, so installation was 5 minutes. The Piranha Tooth Bar is impressive, sharp, and aggressive. I recommend thick gloves during installation!
Agree those badboys are SHARP. I have a routine where I make sure the edge is fully flush or pushed down into the ground when I turn my tractor off now. I had a pretty unpleasant experience walking past the bucket in flip flops when the edge was angled up 2" and I didnt notice. Worst edge you ever want to stub a toe or catch a shin on!

I am extremely concerned. I ordered a Piranha on the 11th. The credit charge card was immediate. I have emailed then 3 times with a simple question and asking when it will ship/deliver. I have received no response from any emails. I have tried calling several times and get nothing but a busy signal. Are they still in business?
JeepinMaxx- where did you get the hooks on your bucket?

no sooner than I whine, I actually get through. They said it's their busiest time of year, apologized for not responding to emails, and said it would ship within a week. We shall see. Lots of multiflora roses eagerly anticipating its arrival- NOT. Plus, intend to try to do some landscaping and get stuff to drain away from the house instead of toward it. Hope it works as well as everyone says- it would be good to get several thousand dollars worth of dirt work done for much, much less.
I'm willing to bet those are Kens hooks. I have the same ones (without a the clevis attachment). https://www.boltonhooks.com/

You and me both...2 emails and finally after the third time calling with one voice message I left, I got thru about an hour ago. I was told that mine should ship this week (ordered 4/2/19). We'll see about that. I sure do hope that their product is better than their customer service...
My fall back position is to use my ATI set of teeth.
Same thing here Brother, ordered mine on 4/8, have sent 4 messages without reply, called again and finally got through to them Friday 4/19. She said the same thing....busy time of the year, etc. and that mine should ship by the end of this week. I thought they have pre-cut bars for certain equipment based on the drop down menu when you choose your length? I read only good things about the bar before I ordered it, customer service sucks and I will screw them on their ratings and reviews, once I have the bar on. My issue matches some of the ones I have been reading...... I need the bar to clear and move dirt for a 480 sf addition to our house and now had to postpone the project. My John Deere, 445 with a FEL 40, is way to small. Great for cutting my 3 acres and moving mulch about, but can not match my L3301 I just bought with Landpride 5' Bush Hog and 5' Box Blade. Waiting, unwillingly, patiently
Two and a half years ago, my girlfriend bought a Komadojoe for me (think big green egg but maybe better). A liner (some kind of formed clay I assume) broke. I put off getting a new one, but finally got tired of it, so I emailed them this morning asking how much for replacement part. I had an answer back within half an hour, telling me it is a lifetime warranty and that replacement (redesigned) parts will ship this week at no cost. THAT is customer service. And a very timely contrast to what Bxpanded service is like. I told them in a reply email that Bxpanded should come learn from them what customer service is. This thing now needs to be the best thing since sliced bread in order to ameliorate my feelings about the company. If it is, I will be an enthusiastic user and give credit where credit is due. If it is not, I will (at every opportunity) share my negative perspective on the company and the product. We shall see. I prefer it be the latter, rather than the former.
