Sometimes it's handy that my BH buckets have teeth, and sometimes it would do nicer work if the edge of the bucket was smooth.
I wonder if there is anything out there that will fit over the BH bucket teeth and give it a smooth edge?
thanks,

I have made a smooth edge for grading & light digging out of a heavy angle (4x8x1/2) iron. cut segments of pipe to slip over the teeth and welded them to the face. It was about double the width of the bucket. It attached with a chain welded to the middle/bottom side of the straight edge that wrapped around the bottom ond up the back of the bucket and attached to a lifting hook on the upper (back) side of the bucket. I think that there is an outfit (Hall's) that makes what I believe they call a "dirt squeegie".
