Chain Hooks

[kevinj]

Thanks all for the advice!! I have a length of logging chain with hooks on either end that I use for pulling trees out of the woods with my drawbar. The links are very heavy 1/2 inch I would guess. No way my 48 horse machine would ever break it.
I was going to buy 20 ft. for use with the bucket, sound right?

I have a couple of 10' for bucket use. Of course I have chains from 3' to 30' to choose from as needed.

I welded grade 70 3/8" chain hooks (grab style) on the top of my bucket, in line with the loader arms. I bought a grade 70 20 foot logging chain from Farm & Fleet. Total cost $60.

I can lift or load what ever I want and feel safe. The bonus is the work out you get from handling this chain! She's got some heft.
