My CK 2610 loader bucket is boxed across the top edge. This seems to make using bolt on chain hooks improbable. What type of set up is best suited to these buckets? Thanks!

Contact Ken's Bolt on Hooks, I'm sure he can make a recommendation for you.

I bought mine on Amazon , they are bolt on . I just drilled all the way through and bought bolts long enough at the local hardware store. My dealer welds theirs on.

Wish I could post pics! Saw a pic on Ken痴 that looked they were just the ticket. But also found an answer from them in the Q&A section saying they didn稚 endorse or recommend bolt on hooks on these types of buckets. I値l have to contact them.

You can buy very inexpensive forged hooks on eBay and weld them on to the backside of your bucket. I installed a set of 5/16 and 3/8's hooks on my tractor bucket. The 5/16 hooks are for 1/4" chains.

I welded 3 across the top of the bucket on my ck2610. Bought them off of eBay or amazon, can稚 remember, but were way cheaper than buying them locally

I added bolt-on hooks to mine recently. On my bucket, there was a small space just behind that double walled lip. I drilled in that area and they bolted right on. Bought mine on Amazon. They came in a package of 3 and seem to be decent quality.

Ken does say he cannot recommend doing it, but says it's a CYA because he has never tested it.

I just drilled all the way through (I can't weld). They work fine. I would like some facing the other way so I could run the chain over the back of the bucket, but doubt I'll ever get around to doing that.

The first pic shows the short bolts Ken supplied and the long (grade 8) bolts I bought to use instead.
