**** I don't know guys this is my first tractor. Stuff is always falling off my truck or trailer so I figured how could I go wrong providing something to hook a chain too. I only have 7 hrs on the BX so far but used them with my forks to haul a pool on a pallet to the barn...and nothing fell off...yet.
The clevis mount/shackle provides a great place to attach ropes or slings to, it's not generally recommended to use the grab hooks for those since they could cut through them. We do offer the hooks without them also.
