Buck Grab hooks, Slip hooks, Clevis mounts-what do use and where do you locate them?

I need to mount hooks on my bucket.

Looking for ideas on what to use and the where to mount them?

I'm sure that some great photos and information will be posted/thanks.

I just welded two hooks off of the end of a chain. I placed them in line with the loader frame. Many ways to do it.

I welded a 2"x2"x 3/16" angle to the top of my bucket for strength then welded 3/8" grab hooks to the angle. With the 3/8" grab hooks I can use 1/4", 5/16" or 3/8" chain. The hooks are welded inline with the loader arms. I also bolted 2 rope hooks (the chrome ones) on the bucket. Others have also welded a 2" receiver in the middle of the bucket to slide a hitch in for moving trailers around.
If you don't have a welder, another member here (Ken) sells bolt on hooks.

5/16 grab hooks in line with the loader arms. The Kioti has little pads just in the right spot to weld them on.

Not familiar with rope hooks?

If you search the term "hooks" you can read for hours, there are some great series posted by many different members here.

We can supply hooks for welding or bolting, and many rigging accessories as well.
