Do a search on "bucket buddy" in the John Deere forum for a slick alternative to the hooks.

Kenny, those are perfect! I will probably order one or two very soon.

Egon, you mentioned just using chain. That's a good solution too if you only plan to use chains for lifting. I've got straps that I use too and the D-rings work well for that.

If I get a couple of Ken's hooks I'll be covered for anything!

Ken, just ordered two. I've got a fresh can of Kubota orange paint to paint them with. Of course, there isn't much Kubota orange paint left on my bucket so they are going to look a little conspicuous.

Your hooks are 5/16? can they be used with 3/8 chain?

JB

Hmmm. I didn't think about that. I think my two good chains are 3/8. No big deal. The big ones stay in my truck. I can get some 5/16 chain for lifting purposes.

Kenny, glad to see your up and running :thumbsup:

Probably not. These are geared towards SCUT's and CUT's and 3/8" chain is just way overkill for these sized tractors. Who knows what the future holds though...

Ken, I just placed them on next payday list to buy. Just what I 've been lookin' for.

Gotta expand the line :),
I think 3/8 is the most popular size chain but yeah it is overkill for most of us.

Don't quote me but I THINK those hooks can be used with 3/8 chain.
I usually buy 3/8 weld on hooks, but one time I got a smaller one and I THINK it said it was for both 5/16 and 3/8. It's definitely smaller than the 3/8 hook, but it will grab the 3/8 chain.
