The loader bucket on my L3350/BF800 is in bad shape. The first bend at the bottom back of the bucket is split in the middle half, the bottom of the bucket now has a pretty big bow in it. I got a couple estimates between $700 - $1000 to repair it. I found a thread on the forum here mentioning someone who makes a set of adapters to convert the existing bucket mounts to quick disconnect. I've also read here that skid steer buckets aren't the best use case for a tractor loader. The adapters I seem to remember were $300 - $400 range, what are the best options for a replacement quick disconnect bucket, what would they cost?

Might be better off buying one for a quick attach already welded on (factory). Might even find a good used one.
I found this bucket in a scrap yard. Locking tabs had been bent/broken, so new owner must have got a replacement through insurance and they trashed this one. Paid $180 (I think) and had some steel cut to replace bent parts. It's the exact same bucket that is/was on my tractor. I keep a tooth bar on this one.
