Scott,
I've become so fond of teeth on my front end loader, I never remove the tooth bar, even for snow clearing. The teeth on my digging buckets aren't removable. By curling a bucket just a little bit, I can make a cut almost as smooth as without teeth. But when a root or rock gets in my way, the teeth are invaluable.
The teeth make great chain holders or rope ties when lifting things. I've also welded up a set of hooks that slip over the teeth of the loader bucket to hoist deer for skinning and quartering.

Ken, any chance you could get video of this technique and share with us?
