Good day. I'm replacing the bucket cutting edge on the Kubota and it looks like it's going to be a pain. Any suggestions on how to make the replacement a bit easier? Or, at least more labor efficient?

There are lots of options. Whether you're starting with a weld-on or bolt-on, if you want something aggressive like Piranha or smooth, toothed, etc. I've made a couple of smooth edges and one toothbar. With the current state of my property and the potential tasks a smooth edge will do everything. If cleaning the fence row ever rises to the top of the list of things to do, maybe something like the Piranha will be the best option.

Take it to a welding shop.

It's just a 'pain'. Not really any way around it.

IF your bucket edge (now) is not straight, then fitment becomes an issue.

As mentioned above, best advice is to take it to a welding shop and let them do it.

Piranha also has a smooth edge bar that attaches the same way.
2 bolts, off or on.

I have bolt on cutting edges on both buckets. The factory bolt on cutting edge was originally on the MX bucket but I swapped it out for a wicked tooth bar from Everything Attachements. The M6060 bucket didn't have a bolt on edge so I drilled 11 holes in the bucket and mounted the factory edge on that bucket.
