"Piranha" Tooth Bar Chews Up Dirt
“Most of our products are based on things I needed and then started manufacturing,” explains Clearman, inventor and owner of BXpanded, based in North Carolina.
He first tried other tooth bars and decided he could improve the design with a multi-depth tooth pattern with bevels and angles that grab onto small trees and saplings. Once an area is dug or cleared of brush, the flat back drags it smooth. Made of thick, heavy-duty welded steel construction, the bar can be mounted on a bucket in about 15 min. with just one hole drilled on each side.
While originally designed for buckets in the Kubota BX series, Clearman says his business has customized buckets from 34 in. wide for lawn tractors up to 86 in. wide for wheel loaders.
“To get a proper fit, we need an actual measurement of the inside width of your bucket where the mounting ears slide into the bucket. We will make the necessary allowances to allow easy installation,” Clearman says.
Prices range from $229 (46 1/4 in.) to $339 (72 in.). The bars are finished with tough, hammered finish silver and come with mounting instructions and all the necessary hardware.
