I'll take another pass at the advantages of a tooth bucket. I had a skid steer with 2 buckets. I did a lot of digging in sod and roots. My 32hp skidsteer would stall or spin with the smooth bucket. When I put the tooth bucket on, it was like having 25% more horsepower and traction. No issues at all. It was also handier for backdragging, tearring up clods, etc. I never put the smooth bucket back on. If you don't have a tooth bucket, buy a tooth bar (piranha bar).
