Where could I buy some chains for my Loader bucket? Also what minimum
sized chain should I buy?

At the risk of ridicule...

I bought my 20' gold 5/16" Grade 70 Trucker Chains from Harbor Freight on sale for 19.95 ea.

I plan on cutting one in half to give me 2 10' lengths to use for the bucket.

I've had 700# in my BX23 Loader so I know the chains are plenty strong for my intended purpose.

I so have "Made in USA" transport chain for securing to my tractor and it cost several times the Harbor Freight Price.

Good deal, thanks for the tip, never thought of looking at HF for chains

I got my 5/16" chain from Lowes. I believe its 15' and came with 2 hooks for around $30. The important thing was that it was ORANGE which was critical!

Size is plenty or the BX series. I used it to pull some drainage barrier T-Posts and Rebar stakes from ground that is almost solid rock it seems. It took all the BX 24 tractor had and I needed to reposition a few times but it handled it.

TSC is where I go. I'd get something that's a bit overkill and is a good fit in your hooks, with a link slid inside, not actually hooked on.

I like the Orange color chain from Lowe's much easier to find when you lose it in the weeds.
