Even with fluid in the rear tires the tractor was too light in the rear to make my bucket teeth worth while. With a scrap steel purchase and a few hours in the machine shop, where I work, Wah lah! It's like a little dozer now. I just cleared an overgrown fence row I've been wanting to remove for years. With the bracket it added close to 780lbs.

They were flame cut 1" thick x 23-1/2" diameter. Since they were drops from a job we did years ago I got them for less than scrap price. Yes they are heavy. I made the bracket so I could load them without having to pick them up. Just tilt them and slide them on. I may knock the rust off them one day and spray them with a little orange paint.:)
