Our bolt-on tooth bars provide an operator with the ability to add teeth quickly by installing two bolts on the bucket. Toothbars easily transform a loading and grading bucket into a digging bucket, in addition to providing assistance in loading applications where material needs to be loosened in order for more efficient bucket filling. Care should be taken, however, to avoid back dragging with a toothbar installed.
