new user and new tractor

[tomboyy]

Hi all.. been lurking abit and thought I'd join . I just sold my Ford 1220 and bought a new L3200 Kubota 4x4 with FEL and a 12 inch Auger . It got delivered with a 9" and they still own me a bale spear. I haven't been able to test it out yet. Just got it today and then had to go to work.

whats your thoughts on a tooth bar.

I forgot to add I also got a top for it. I'm looking to buy a tiller and tooth bar also.

Definitely yes on the tooth bar. Welcome to OTT.

Is the tooth bar for hard clay type soil?

 

[tomboyy]

yes mostly... not looking to dig up the world but I have more than bushes and briaers. thought a good scaping up might help

I didn't use a tooth bar, instead I bought bolt on teeth like my backhoe uses. Either way the teeth make a huge difference, you will be pleased.

Where did you get the teeth at ? Will Bobcat bolt on teeth work?
Not really a great "metal driller" I seem to always burn the bits up

I got my teeth at my Kubota dealer. They fit a 4672 Kubota BH. I'm sure they fit others but I have that model BH so I know they fit it for sure. They took minor fitting and a little hammer work but was pretty easy to install on the loader bucket. I will warn you ahead of time the cutting edge on the bucket has some hard places to drill. Most of it went well but a couple of holes were difficult to say the least.

Not sure about Bobcat teeth. The ones that fit on my Bobcat are different. I thought about going with pin on teeth and just welding shanks to my bucket but I wanted the option of being able to remove them and have a smooth bucket if needed. I have never took mine off but you can't ever tell.
