another toothbar related question

[rtd]

My 6' construction type bucket has 11 holes for mounting a replaceable cutting edge. I have a few questions:
(1) Is there a flat toothed edge that will bolt to this bucket?
(2) If not, has anyone cut teeth into a standard straight edge? Might the steel be hardened making this difficult? How far does the standard bolted straight edge project in front of the bucket, limiting the size of the teeth?
(3) Are there individual teeth that will bolt to the bucket edge using the standard holes?
(5) Are there sources for the straight bucket edge other than the Kubota dealer?

Thanks

Answer to first question is yes, I bought mine at Iowa Farm , they sell W.H. Long toothbars. I've been real happy with mine.

Whats nice about a full width tooth-bar is that it is removable.May not want it on all the time.Drill just two holes in the bucket.I reinforced mine.I purchaed mine from Gator attachments but there are many suppliers.
