Three hooks are great to have, gives you options.
Now, there's a man who likes to keep his options open!
I put my hooks on with .030 wire and a CO2 bottle. Cranked the welder all the way up and made sure to get well into both sides. Don't hurry. If I want to connect to the center I loop the chain around the 2 hooks and hook back to itself in the center. Of course I do have one extra hook ...The largest wire my mig will run is .035. Is this big enough to do hooks on a bucket? Sorry to hijack the thread…. But I need to do hooks this winter on the new bucket.
I think you would need a big ole drop hitch and then you would be working blind... just like forks on a bucket - Ugh!How do you use the receiver? I can't see how you would be able to hook it up on a trailer unless it's a goose neck ?
ha ya a big drop hitch make sense... my technique it to have a chain off my 3 point arms then I back up until the chain get under the trailer tongue, lift and back up some more, lower on the hitch and off I go ...I think you would need a big ole drop hitch and then you would be working blind... just like forks on a bucket - Ugh!
I chose a SSQA receiver hitch from titan.

There is some good idea there!! good postYour are right. Top hitch mount receiver for larger tractors have limitations.
B26 is a small tractor with a low height bucket. Most of my hitches are 4-6” drop. Pintle hitch is easy.
