Bucket Hook(s) Placement

   / Bucket Hook(s) Placement #31  
I have a QA bucket on my Case so I bought a QA plate and welded hooks and D-rings to it. Soon I'm going to add a receiver hitch to it. I also have hooks welded to my bucket for lighter weight lifting but use the plate for heavier stuff. I'll try to post pics in a couple of days.

Thanks for the continued replies. Was home over the Thanksgiving holiday but did not have time to get the hooks and coupler welded. I did have time to pull some stumps:thumbsup::thumbsup:

I have been wondering why the manufacturers do not put hooks on the buckets/FEL. Is it simply a liability issue, or are there other reasons? Some dealers will weld them on, but no manufacturers offer them from the factory.

Its really easy to be a idiot and do alot of damage to the tractor if you don't know your limits. I know I have lifted with mine, and quit, because bad things were going to happen. Most don't know when to quit, and either get hurt, or damage machine. Warranty makes them nervous
