Yes, he's going to be in the market for some rubber covered chain to protect that paint job....LOL

I see that you have the ATI pin type quick attach, how old is your machine?

It's not an ATI, it's a Kubota OEM quick attach. Got the tractor in November '12.

That does look great, are you anywhere upstate NY?

I could use some help with mine

Seriously, nice custom job that looks better than OEM!

Added some hooks to my bucket the other day. Just painted them last night with Kubota New paint from TSC - which is a close match but note exact. I did order OEM Kubota paint yesterday from Messers and will repaint with it when I get it.

Decided to add a receiver hitch to the bucket as I've seen some build a boom pole and use this way and I like that idea, or to jockey trailers around better if the rear trailer mover won't cut it.

Just finished mine up the other day. Thanks to this thread for inspiring me.

I like your idea,. I may steal that. If you don't mind.

It is a great idea, but I stole it from someone else myself :laughing:

To update, I got the factory Kubota spray paint in and repainted the bucket in the sare I added the hitch and hooks. Perfect match.

Resurrecting an old thread....I tested my hooks to the limit and they worked. We moved and set 6 frost posts that weighed 700lbs each. Picked them up with the front bucket with a chain on the hooks. No problem at all....although I did scratch the paint!

They really have some clever products.

I installed a set two weeks ago. Easy addition that will be useful and not expensive at all.

I see you grooved your tires. What did you use? Any issue with chunking?

I bought a grooving iron off of ebay. Haven't had any issues with chunking at all. I have noticed during the winter when plowing snow I do get a bit better traction. Downside is during the summer if I run through any mud it leaves a mess in the garage when I back the tractor in and the mud falls out of the grooves.

If I'm muddy I just drive onto my free 7' x 9' free Harbor Freight tarp. Easy to pick up that way in my gravel machinery barn.
