Parana Toothbar Install & Destroying the Kubota 

Two comments. I have owned and ran Kubota tractors for 16 years for home use. 72 acres. They have been outstanding. Im a Kubota believer. As for the Pirannah bar. Like the guy said, its worth every penny. I have put mine through the test. A lot of my property is pretty rocky. I was afraid I would demolish it when I bought it. It is super tough. Ive dug a lot with mine in rocky ground. Ive worn it some, but its still really great condition for what I have put it through. And, I think it makes it a lot easier on your tractor. Its hard to do anything with that plain bucket edge. I would buy another tomorrow if I needed to. Buy it, you wont regret it.

Ive had mine for ~5 years, love it. It digs better than a smooth bucket obviously, especially since my land is mostly packed sand and gravel, and it completely obliterates brush and scrub which is mostly what I got it for. I have a little bigger Kubota, and the bolt had to go through the reinforced part of the bucket. Turned out a friend had a magnetic drill press which we drilled it with, or I'd still be there today with a subscription to drill bits trying to make the holes. Only complaint I have is that if you want to use clamp-on bucket accessories, like hitch receiver or pallet forks, you have to remove the Piranha. It doesnt really matter how much you tighten the bolts because theyre only there to keep the toothbar from falling off when you backdrag or dump. The pushing is provided by the bucket itself inside the groove of the toothbar.

Playing with big toys gets real easy to get carried away. The bigger the toy the more fun it is. I used to get so carried away with my dozer, when clearing our land, that it would be dark before I stopped. I could barely see my way to my truck. Good Luck, Rick

The music junked another video 👎🏻💩

Where’s the destroying part? You ended video with some oil coming out of the cap? Borderline clickbait!

watching the paint dry was the most exciting part

Ive had the Parana Tooth bar on my 1025r for three years and it works great!

Love that video and the bar. I have one and just as an FYI, it’s a good idea to slam the bar with a piece of wood against the front of the bar and a sledge when initially fitting and mounting. I got mine to move an additional 1/2” tighter onto the edge of the bucket which will improve the overall rigidity.

I’ve had a piranha bar on my MF GC1705 for 160 hours. Wouldn’t own a tractor without one, transforms a subcompact into a little beast.

I respect a man comfortable enough to wear a sun hat. Good on ya big guy!

We bought a L 2800 in 2004 and a toothbar. The teeth were pinned to the bucket and they eventually all broke off, The new ones were cheap then at like $4 each and the dealer said weld them on. The toothbar is one of the best implements u can get. Rock popping Tree roots,small trees. ,digging. Well worth the $$. The holes in the side were like yours .Edge stuff can vary on the bucket. My forks had to be altered to fit my bucket. When you dig go high on the bank and then work down,not from the bottom up.Less strain on the tractor.

I think that compact tractor is getting more work hauling the load. Maybe try using a dump trailer or even a truck to move the bucket loads instead of running back and forth like that. I like the tooth bar

The engine breather is clogged thats why oil is coming out the fill cap. And it would greatly help your bucket if you put a bolt on cutting edge on then the tooth bar

Sometimes the vent tubes clog up on the crank case oil , I'd check that since you are working in the desert , Holy cow that looks like some serious cotton mouth .

Such a GREAT "Stip-Mineing" Vidio. Just Think YOU "Tortured " that little tinker-toy to DEATH. Thank you Sir for the Excelent vidio and happy safe tractoring. Best wishes with all your endeavours.

I installed one from bx expanded about three years ago, love it . One of the best investments I have ever made was the under armor from bx expanded. Can save you hundreds of dollars in repairs..

I got the Reversible Cutting Edge from BX Attachments. Bolts on using the existing holes in the bucket, no additional drilling required. Simply remove all but the middle bolt and spin the cutting edge around to the other side. Has a smooth side for leveling and snow removal tasks, and the other side is a toothed cutting edge...Looked at the piranha tooth bar and didn't like that you had to drill holes to mount it....I like the 2 cutting edge options on 1 bar so I went with the one from BX Attachments. I've seen a lot of videos on the Piranha bar too either option is better than destroying the factory edge on the bucket and rendering your bucket unusable, especially in heavy digging and rocky applications.

I've had mine 2 years, one of the best additions for the money

Took delivery of my new BX2680 last Sept. While waiting I ordered the optional teeth. They are awesome and work great. Easy to take of in Nov. for snow removal. LOVE this machine, YOU had your chance "DEERE".

That little bucket beats a wheelbarrow and a shovel

I totally agree, love mine when taking on clay!

I put a Piranha bar on my B2650 Kubota loader when tractor was new…the bar is a good help with everything I do.

I would put bolt nut on the outside so they don't get buggered up so you can remove the bar easily if you need to. Just a thought. Nice video

I contemplated the bolt on style toothbar and went with a heavy Hitch bar. Uses set screws to hold it in place. Plus and minus to each type of attachment.

I am curious why the oil was coming out

Charles, the piranha toothbar is well worth the money. I had one on my Massey 1533 and it was great. I am now about to install a piranha toothbar on my new 1760M. Thanks for the video.

All I can offer from decades of roaming the earth is, wear a respirator in that dustbowl condition.

Oof you’d really benefit from a dump trailer to cut the wheel time on that job… plus you could use that to transport the tractor to gravel or whatever else you wanted to load ;) Cool cutting edge, thanks for posting!

Try to make a D6 cat out of a little residential tractor. See how that works out for you.

Your Kubota must have turtle, rabbit and hummingbird speed ranges! I hope your Kubby survived.

I bought one about 2 yrs ago and put it on an LS XR3135h and that bar is still on bucket ,I want ever take it off,It is like a knife through butter,It digs so good ,good luck on your engine,cant imagine what is causing oil to come out the top ,unless it is a factory problem...

I like how the paranabar sharpens itself as you wear it in.

Very important to keep air filters changed it doesn't take but a couple tablespoons of dust to ruin a engine, I wouldn't worry about that it isn't a oil leak it's just the dust sticking to the oil vapor a little blow by is normal for a new engine until the rings seat, my M5500DT still running great @38years old

That little Kubota kicking some ass.

I've had one for about 6 months and it's great...

Check for a loose oil cap or a bad seal on the cap. The vent tube for the crankcase, could be blocked. Also check the compression you could have a cylinder with excessive blow by and pressurizing the crank case.

I ordered a piranha tooth bar for my Kubota L 4701, which should basically turn it into Godzilla. The fed ex guy that delivered it while no one was home actually propped it up against the tailgate of my old truck instead of putting it on a big Tex trailer I have that he actually had to go past! My first job after i mount this tooth bar will probably be too Chase that dang Fed ex guy around my property with the Kubota Monster on his next delivery , anyway I think I will be pleased with this implement, because I have not seen one review that was negative!

Thanks for sharing such nice video and sound 👍

Ok title said Destroying the Kubota so where did it destroy your machine? Good thing I watched because title made it seem like the tooth bar wrecked the machine

“ A number of years ago a woman by the name of Ann came to a seminar. She was a beautiful actress. Ann told me of a time that she and three of her girlfriends went to try out for a stage play. She got the leading role in the play and her friends, unfortunately, did not even get in the supporting cast. She worked very hard on her lines over the coming months. On opening night she was so excited! However, none of her girlfriends showed up to support her. She was devastated… They were good friends she thought. Ann was in the habit of talking to an older friend of her dad who was a mentor to her. His name was Hap. She phoned Hap and he listened to her story of what transpired. He said, “I am going to send you a letter and I want you to read it and I want you to remember it.” Here is the letter that he sent her: Dear Ann, Once upon a time, there was a fellow by the name of Al Capp who wrote a comic strip called “L’ll Abner”. Many years ago he had some characters in his strip who lived in a town near Dogpatch. They were the town bums, the n’er do wells, the failures whose whole aim in life was to pass judgment on others. Their criticism and ridicule became so vehement that in time the rest of the people in the town became acutely conscious of it. “The boys down at the stable”, as they were called because that’s where they spent most of their time, soon set the social standards of the town. Nobody could do anything without their sanction. Because they lived within the structure of their crummy little worlds, they would laugh and point their fingers at anyone and everyone who tried to be better than he was. As a result, the people feared the ridicule of the boys down at the stable so much that they stopped trying. Soon everybody became bums and the town died. In every social structure, Ann, whether it be family, town, county, or state, there are “the boys down at the stable”. They are the jealous ones. They are too scared to try something different. They show their ignorance by laughing at those who do. Learn to recognize them, Ann, for what they are. Don’t let them hurt you. It takes a certain amount of toughness to succeed. One has to rise above those who would tear you down so that they can laugh and say, “I told you so!”. There are too many of us who love you and want you to make it. I could put myself at the top of the list. You aren’t going to fall flat on your face as they would have you. You are going to do a superb job. Remember this show is only a small step in the direction of greater things you will do, many of which are beyond your wildest dreams. All you have to do is want to. One of the things I like about you best is that you always give it hell for a try. The show will be a success because of you and others like you who try. There are only winners in the cast. The losers are gathered down at the stable laughing and hoping for your failure. If we could dig down deep inside them, I’m sure we’d find they want to win also but are too scared to try, and they attempt to cover up their own failures as human beings by laughing at others. In a sense, I’m sorry for them. Their guilt must make them very unhappy people. Much love, and give ‘em hell, Hap The next time you step out to chase your dreams and someone laughs at you remember this wonderful note above. You are capable of achieving anything you desire. To your success, Bob Proctor”

I've never seen any of my engines crapped up like that. The first thing I would check it to make sure the filler cap still has its gasket, even if the vent is blocked, it shouldn't be pushing that much out. I'd also verify that the oil levels are correct.

Tooth bars are great! Glad to see you don't reply to the trolls who know nothing about engines. I would have to guess you had a fairly "simple to fix" engine breathing problem. Was that it? Thanks.

Before bolting the toot bar on it’s a good idea to use a piece of 4x4 lumber against the front of the teeth and bang on the front edge with a sledge to snug it on before marking your holes. Mine moved in a good 1/8” which means more of the bar is in contact with more of the bucket!

Will drilling a hole in bucket compromise the value of the bucket for resale?

Man I like that tooth bar I am going to see about getting one for my tractor. Thanks for the video! New sub!

Whta kind of drill bit did you use..i just installed a bar on tractor but ended up having to use plasma to cut holes and none of my so called high speed steel bits would work,,i have many projects ahead of making a box blade and scraper and a proper bit that would cut would be great,,,i have several of the step bits,,just need some bits that will cut s smaller hole in the beginning..

Sold me on those teeth. I'm ordering them soon. Hope your motor is good! That was a lot of dust. Those Kubota engines will run forever. Probably nothing but a little bit over heated. Thanks for the video.

I have something that you need to borrow its a AW900 it has a small 54 yard bucket the large bucket is 100 yard uncle had it made to build 6 lakes on the property in north Dakota now its mine out in Wyoming with the 100 yard bucket it can pick up 250,000 pounds of dirt what you have might have been one maybe two buckets we also have the D12 CAT with 25 ft blade or the 40 ft blade it can push 285,000 pounds of dirt out in front of you oh the blades are 12 foot high just something small for the ranch

What was it a crankcase vent valve?

It might be a bit late to mention this, but even though that bar is made of a material that is allegedly better than AR500, that's still a wear item, and I usually tell friends looking at getting one to consider getting a style of bar that has replaceable teeth. I'd say the same thing, even if it was made of Hardox. For future reference. Also for future reference... Kubota is actually a pretty good tractor, and a good value. At least up until Tier-IV. I am less impressed with the stuff coming out from the mid-teens forward. That said, a BX is kind of a light tractor for that work. I'd want a minimum of a 3100 or 3500 Grand L series. A 4070 would be a great choice for that, especially if you pick up pre-owned one that was well maintained, but from the 2000's, though maybe the mid-teens. I have a friend who bought some of my stuff when I closed my business, and he has an MX series that he really likes. I gotta admit, if I were going to get a "Last Tractor" for general property work, I'd likely go for an MX5,200 or a Grand L60. 4wd of course. I sold a Grand L 3560 a few years ago, and that was a pretty good tractor for it's purpose. Didn't like the regen nonsense, or HST transmission. I like the GST much more. Anyway... Good luck with the clearing.

Lot of negativity on the comments, I think it was a good video. I also have the same tooth bar and it works great when I need it, though I don't like it when I'm grading something smooth with the loader, that's just me I guess. New sub here.

Put a parana bar on my Branson, best attachment ever I’ve been cutting trails through Forrest and it will cut through 2” and smaller trees. Bigger stuff I can usually pull out if I can get a bite in it. It will also shear off tree limbs on cedar trees really quick 👍👍 I found it’s great for digging but if I’m grading dirt or gravel it’s useless so I take it off and use the factory edge

What a great video yo!!! love the time lapses!!!

If you would of drilled the holes more forward you could of loosened the two bolts, slid the tooth bar forward and turn it up then tighten bolts and then you can use the regular blade for back leveling or forward then loosen bolts and put tooth bar back in the usable position. Just a way so you don’t need to totally remove the bar and yet keep it attached.

I’ve had the tooth bar for four years on my BX2670. I abuse my tractor. I don’t try to break it but I work it hard. Thing is a tank.

I bought the piranha tooth bar for my Kioti tractor. I wore it out in 4 hours scraping packed snow from a parking lot. It’s great if you are digging in soft pack dirt but don’t use it for anything on pavement or concrete. Very soft metal, not even case hardened.

Nice Curtain, it matches the harbor freight step bit.

Charles nice video. I have a 3301 and when I mow a lot of high grass radiator screen will get dirty and need cleaning. I hope that was it. It has a warning but hard to see.

Been there,,bought my L35 Kubota backhoe new in 2006,,every scratch hurt me deep,,lol

What you really have is a riding lawn mower

Outstanding tunes for the timelapse -- Wicked cool toothbar. Nice farm.

You just pushed that little tractor to hard.

What you moving all the dirt for? The country boy come out of me thinking hey that looks like a mighty fine shooting range burm lol.

Wow. What some people think should be on the internet

blowing oil out the cap,, the crank case vent tube pluged up.. well in high speed video from far away, you can really see how well it digs,,

Once the music started I was done watching. I don't understand why everyone wants to be a disc jockey. If I want to listen to music I watch music videos or turn on the radio.

I bought the piranha bar, the trencher bucket and the root ripper from BXpanded. All worth the money. Took several months to get them though

Oil blowing out the cap would be blow by. Rings not seated properly. How many hours on that engine?

I bought the Heavy Hitch. No drilling.

They make the piranha bar for almost every brand and series tractor. They make one for my Kubota L47 that replaces the replaceable cutting edge.

Nice vid, thanks! I have one just like it but have yet to install it

Wow I’m thinking you sucked up to much dirt and toasted your rings causing blow by. That motor is possibly toast.

Just now discovered your channel. From what I can see of your land, very nice. Your going to need a bigger Kubota.

Only a BX owner would worry about the bucket paint. 😂 WEEKENDERS. just joking.

See the dust on that tractor. Your lungs. Your lungs. Your lungs

Man you really destroyed your Kubota. Glad your ok though.

Was waiting to see cutting edge in action, you actually painted drilled holes...

what was the problem with your tractor

Been waiting for the follow up on your oil leak on the kubota

Use a cutting oil when drilling metal. The bits last longer and cut better. Chainsaw bar oil works... or any other similar oil... if you do not have "real" cutting oil intended for drilling metal.

What that orange over spray on your truck?

Eeeeeh maby some bigger machines!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That is the issue I had with my Kubota also they kept telling me there was nothing wrong with it I am a diesel mechanic for a living I know that that was blow-by pressure internal crankcase pressure pushing the oil out like that. Tell the way I picked my problem was I sold that one and went and bought me a Kioti cs2210 which I seem to like a lot better than I like the Kubota at least the dealer will fix problems with it not that I have had any which I have knocked but they seem to be more supportive

Wearing out your tractor doing bucket by bucket. Collect fill dirt in a pile, and then move it to your intended location.

Would be a much better video without the annoying music

You can't dig much with a dinky tractor! What did you expect. Have you ever heard of break in ?

Nice job 👍

oil breather plugged?

Check your air filter. Lots of dust. Also causes dip stick to blow out.

Every single kabota I have used has had serious problems. They are great when new if maintained perfectly and kept undercover. But they don’t hold up. Have you seen any “Classic Kabota Clubs”-

I dug a 5ft deep hole with one with a 5ft wide bucket.

What was the result? the kubota is still alive? i'm curious🙃

Your first mistake when you drilled them holes in the side of your bucket was that you use the regular steel bit you need to use a cone bit it looks like an ice cream cone not a steel bit back to the video whenever you’re digging with a small compact tractor such as a 2380 or 2360 you always without a doubt wanna be in turtle gear and you wanna be in four-wheel-drive for the best results when digging just thought you’d like to know the machine is remarkable for the price of ityou take care of it and it’ll take care of you abuse, it it will do nothing

What was the oil problem? Very interested what the dealer said.

Inaccurate video title. Lured me in. Yep.

Do you have a link for this? Probably going to get one for my soon to be delivered LX2610. Wouldn’t mind seeing something similar made for a backhoe bucket. Serrations like those would be good for slicing through tree roots.

I know now why I want a cab

So what was an outcome? What did dealership said?

Can you weld it on? What’s it made out of

How does it destroy the Kubota?
