Mike that's amazing work with that L39. The L39 just might have been the perfect size small TLB - wish that Kubota still made them.The true dedicated TLB's are pretty tough. I'd be on my 3rd std Ag. tractor the same size, as I would have killed a lesser machine. This is what I did for a tooth bar on a 6' hd Round bucket from my L39 with cutting edge, then weld on adapters for small excavator teeth for hard soil digging
Best teeth I have found are.

For back dragging I have a Cutting edge welded to the bottom backside of my bucket. I find this does a much better job at backdragging tough material thahan beating up the bottom plate of the bucket.
With all the mods that you have done to yours, I'm reminded of another L39 with lots of mods that we saw here on TBN. Do you remember a guy named "4shorts" who used to post here?
4shorts was from Newfoundland and quite the craftsman. He devised some real clever tractor attachments.... though I haven't seen anything by him recently. Hope he is oK.
