I just have a small 1816 skid so not much will help it dig too much.. But the bucket is in perfect shape (42") and thought maybe cutting down a longer tooth bar and adapting it to it.. or drilling holes for just individual teeth? Wont the teeth alone tend to distort the bucket edge more so than the extra bar across with teeth on it? Is it even worth the hassle? I do want to move some gravel this summer and with 'luck' try to dig out a culvert under thin layer of gravel. I doubt be enough umph.. but will try.
