If you have a 4-in-1 bucket, here's a way to turn it into a 6-in-1 with the addition of a scarifier and box blade.

The teeth are standard Bobcat issue which are bolted onto a fabricated holder, which is then bolted to the underside of the bucket.

The "box" is created by bolting a cut piece of steel to the sides of the bucket, transforming the 'dozer' straight blade to a box blade.

Obviously, the cut piece of steel must be removed to in order to use the grab function of the bucket, and the teeth need to be removed to us the bucket.

Howerver, I have 1.5 miles of gravel road to maintain, and just aadd the parts a couple of times a year to complete this chore.

Several picture are posted below.

Clever.
Reverse tooth bar could be adapted even to a regular bucket to scarify on occasion as well.

I, for one, actually drag my 'toothed bucket' backwards (tilted vertically) with some success and follow up with my regular backblade for finishing touches.
For best finished look, I pull my back blade reversed (rather than 'hooked') to sort of scatter the finishing fines.
It results in a 'just raked' look.
