Hi Bill this is Eric Whitney from Atwater, Ca. Great video! I love my wicked Grapple, I’ve had it for 3 years now it’s gets lots of use. Enjoy your Grapple!!

You got some nice Bucks in Iowa Bill. Hope you all survived the 2024 blizzard. Here in West Virginia we got maybe 3"s of snow and two nights the temps got down 0° then last week our temperatures were 60°. Take care my friend.

[@billburkhart]

Good morning Dean, yeah we had a good old-fashioned winter drop 24 inches of snow on us over three or four days and then went to 20 below with daytime highs still below zero. We haven’t seen that kind of winter in quite a while. Be careful on those steep roads out your way 3 inches of snow or 13 inches of snow. It’s still very slippery isn’t it. Take care my friend and thanks for checking in. I sure appreciate it. -Bill

Hi Bill, Greetings from across town in Dubuque. I added a tooth bar from Titan to my bucket on my JD 3320. Makes digging so much easier.

[@billburkhart]

Hi Jim! Were you happy with the quality of the Titan tooth bar? I'm pretty sure I will purchase one after going to the tractor show in Louisville in two weeks. Do you leave it on the bucket all the time or put it on when you need it? Good to hear from you! -Bill

[@srj4622]

Piranha tooth bar is the way to go. Had one on my 1025 for years now and it transformed it into a digging machine.

[@billburkhart]

I'll check that bar out….. thank you SRJ. Bill

Ordered the BXpanded Piranha bar before my tractor arrived. Took 6 weeks. After the first winter I ordered the smooth bar for snow removal. Increases bucket capacity too. My bucket lip is virgin.

[@billburkhart]

MJF good point about extra capacity using a bar. Loved your description of your bucket being a virgin😀😀. I’m going to use that term during my grapple review ok? Have a great week. -Bill.

[@MJF40]

@@billburkhart Bill, when I was doing all my yard fill and mulch. I definitely noticed it’s not much, but it’s just enough to have a little bit more holding capacity. As long as the loader are lifted, 😉. Mike

[@cdee6096]

HI Bill. I put a tooth bar on my bucket and it is awesome! In fact had I had the tooth bar first, I probably would not have bought the back hoe. I dig up stumps and such with it and it is actually more useful to me than the hoe. I use my tractor to lift heavy things whenever I can vs manual lifting. My back and shoulders ache from a lifetime of work!!

[@billburkhart]

Hi CDee, what brand of tooth bar did you buy? And would you still recommend it? Thanks for telling me about the benefit of the tooth bar. I’m seriously considering one…… glad to hear you’re benefiting from the tractors ability to help you after a lifetime of hard work, I’m right there with you. -Bill

[@cdee6096]

I bought the BXpanded tooth bar. I forgot what I paid for it, but it is high quality and has been great! It digs up stumps better for me as the tooth bar can cut through things with a lot more power than the back hoe can deliver.

[@jamesberg3106]

I use the heavy hitch bucket tooth bar when I know I’m doing dirt work

[@billburkhart]

Hi James, I was wondering how a tooth bar would have worked, glad you’re enjoying yours.-Bill

[@mdh7812]

hello from Ste Genevieve County MO again. I have a Piranha tooth bar that I bought in 2016. I had it on the tractor for a couple years, but I haven't had it on the tractor since. It does help if you are digging in an area where there are a lot of little saplings, but I don't know if it really helps that much to dig.

[@billburkhart]

Hello MDH, so good to hear from you again. Thanks for the honest evaluation of the piranha tooth bar I appreciate it. I've often thought why would I buy a toothbar instead of using the backhoe. -Bill

[@GCraigmile]
