Attaching bucket hooks to a Kubota MX5400 with L2236 bucket

[Oakfield1862]

I'm not sure how/where to attach these. It is a curved back bucket but has a plate mounted on top between the loader connections. How are others with this bucket adding bucket hooks like Ken's bolt ons?

On my MX6000 with the same bucket, the dealer welded the hooks on

Ugh, wish I would have done that!

Your bucket looks like this, I presume? If so, it should be very easy to weld hooks on.

Our Bolted Hooks fit perfectly on that top plate.

No welder, so I ordered a set of Kenny's hooks.

Good choice. I'm good at weldng and metal work. For bucket hooks, I prefer to use a system like Kenny's that attaches a welded assembly to the bucket with bolts and a backing plate rather than welding directly to the bucket.

When I bought my tractor eight years ago the first thing I did was bolt on a set of Ken’s hooks. I have used and abused them and they haven’t complained a bit. That’s the route I would go.

1st mod on my MX5200 was welding on bucket hooks. Bought em on Amazon.
