If it has tooth shanks on it try to find some single point tiger teeth to fit.

How about fabbing/(buying?) up something like I did for my FEL bucket for your BH bucket?

These teeth work incredibly well on my bucket.

This concept could be easily applied to individual teeth, I would imagine.

Get a ripper tooth for it.

They work 100% better than the bucket alone.

I have the Bxpanded one with serrations, and it works very well. (y)

For larger Kubota BHs and Mini-Ex, look at the Ox Thumbs ripper.
They make rippers to fit the Kubota QA coupler .
I have one, and it is excellent!.
Though, a bit pricy, at $1,000, plus another$1,000 for the quick connevtor.
