I see that you have the ATI pin type quick attach, how old is your machine?

It's not an ATI, it's a Kubota OEM quick attach. Got the tractor in November '12.

Added some hooks to my bucket the other day. Just painted them last night with Kubota New paint from TSC - which is a close match but note exact. I did order OEM Kubota paint yesterday from Messers and will repaint with it when I get it.

Decided to add a receiver hitch to the bucket as I've seen some build a boom pole and use this way and I like that idea, or to jockey trailers around better if the rear trailer mover won't cut it.

It is a great idea, but I stole it from someone else myself :laughing:

To update, I got the factory Kubota spray paint in and repainted the bucket in the sare I added the hitch and hooks. Perfect match.

Resurrecting an old thread....I tested my hooks to the limit and they worked. We moved and set 6 frost posts that weighed 700lbs each. Picked them up with the front bucket with a chain on the hooks. No problem at all....although I did scratch the paint!

I see you grooved your tires. What did you use? Any issue with chunking?

I bought a grooving iron off of ebay. Haven't had any issues with chunking at all. I have noticed during the winter when plowing snow I do get a bit better traction. Downside is during the summer if I run through any mud it leaves a mess in the garage when I back the tractor in and the mud falls out of the grooves.

If I'm muddy I just drive onto my free 7' x 9' free Harbor Freight tarp. Easy to pick up that way in my gravel machinery barn.
