The springs perpendicular to the edge would probably help a little. You see some runners similar to what you mentioned on heavy duty buckets.
Kelley I bet your edge will be a little harder to bend next time. I bet that weld you applied is much tougher than cold rolled or hot rolled steel (CRS or HRS).
It's such a shame to have to figure how to straighten and strengthen bucket edges. My old bucket (on a Woods loader) never bent, so it was obviously made from a tougher alloy. My NH 16LA was very weak, and my Kubota (still brand new) will bend if I just look at it. I know that because I saw one bent at the dealer.
