I have rapidly discovered that I am always needing/wanting to lift things, and it is certainly convenient to do it with the bucket, rather than hook up/unhookup the boom pole. I am talking about fairly lightweight stuff, less than 200-ish pounds.
So I wrap a log chain around the bucket, and well, you guys know the drill. So having some hooks welded on the bucket would be of great benefit here. My question is - where, how many, and what type (chain hooks, open hooks, schackles, etc)?
There must be some locations that are more advantageous than others.
Has anyone built a hook bar? Like a tooth bar, but mount it on the top lip of the bucket, and it would have various hooks? Crazy, dumb, or did I just give away my retirement plan.
