A well-made, bolt-on tooth bar?

Construction attachments makes several other styles as well. I believe Ted's brother at ETA Owns construction attachments

All my teeth are welded within about 1/16" inch tolerance all are either touching or very close. Sounds like the guy that welded yours up was on some sort stimulant

Another vote for the WR Long toothbar. I really like mine.

My neighbor went with FRONTLINE TOOTH BAR 60" | Ford Distributing, with the one caveat that he did not want to drill any holes in his bucket. I believe his has 3 or 4 set screws that you snug up on the bucket, and cover each with an acorn nut. It seems to be well built, and for what we do it has performed well. Just another option.

Iowa farms on ebay. I love mine (first one did break a shank - probably my fault, but their customer service was awesome and they sent out a new one the same day).

Very tough, made correctly to its listed size, came with bolts. Ships fast, made in USA, etc.

I think theirs are made by WR Long.

I have bought them from a Skid steer dealer (for a SS). They should have one in stock, maybe not in your size, but one that should represent how one you order is built. I've been able to bend a shank (a little) with a med. size SS, but it was not during normal digging use. I agree that a tooth bucket is the better option, and a if you can find a used one at an auction, might cost the same.

I put mine through ****, and it hasn't blinked....
Toothbars

I dug out, then rolled this huge chunk of concrete, beating up the teeth the whole time:
