Never have seen a bucket pre drilled for a tooth bar. I would wait till I had the tooth bar to make sure the holes were in the right place. :thumbsup:

Toothbars don't have standardized mounts so you really need to fit the toothbar yourself and then drill the holes. The good news is that bucket sides are usually only 12 or 14 gauge or so and drilling the holes is easy even with homeiwner grade tools. A bolt on cutting bar is different and drilling for that could be a real pain.

well, my 2011 - DK45 has several sets of holes predrilled in the bucket. 6 on the lower lip and 2 on each side......guess there for a toothbar....but i dont like using toothbars, so for me it didnt matter. see pics

my bucket sides are 3/16" steel...14 gauge is awfully thin

I'm not sure what the holes on the side of your bucket are for.
But they are way to high to be for a toothbar.

its just the kind of terrain i have, no real brush.lots of gravel and dirt. the tooth bars tend to leave grove marks. the plain bucket leaves it smoother. i guess it depends on the kind of terrain you have.
Ive rented equipment in the past with tooth bars, great for digging holes, and moving out dense underbrush. I just don't have this.

anyways, I'm not sure if the holes in my bucket are intended to fit a certain brand of toothbar or if there universal. I'm not sure what kinds of attachments Kioti sells under its own branding.

I have ordered a set of pallet forks for mine, and i hope that these will help me when clearing logs, branches, etc. time will tell. There due to arrive this Monday. :licking:

The 6 lower holes are for a bolt on cutting edge/wear bar.
