Might try what I did if you want to save some money. I bought teeth for a Kubota 4672 backhoe. It takes a little time to drill the bucket but it's not that bad. I have no plans to remove them but do have the option if needed. I think they were about $27 or so each. They are quality teeth from what I can tell. They are still like new and I've had them for several years now.

I picked up a tooth bar that had the heels torched off of the teeth at the salvage yard for $25.

In about an hour I cut off the ends and shortened it to fit a 5' bucket. The ends are in a couple of inches further then I would like, but it works fine. I welded some where the torch had cut the heel, and made the tooth long enough to snag the lip of the bucket just fine.

Couple more pictures.

The second picture shows the tooth I removed setting between the end of the bar and the tooth that was there that I left there. It was of no use to have two teeth so close together, so I left the gap.

The last picture shows where the tooth was cut off of previous application and what I needed to get engagement to my bucket.
