I reinforced the bucket top edge and installed hooks at ends and center.
I use the ends (corner) if I am lifting something of insignificant weight and lift from the center any heavy objects. When I lift from the center I do not twist my loader frame or tip my tractor.

MY center mount ring on bucket is for holding things in bucket... I put a dedicated pulling ring on front of tractor chassis to do serious pulling..... Only negative is access to ring with bucket in the way...

I have three hooks. always have always will. Hooks on the side for light work.
hook in the center for HEAVY work. It doesn't do the mechanism any good to reef the heck out of one side.... plus you can get your tractor airborne.
Welded on or bolted on, is the best. I see the guy with the grab hook attached to a hole with some hot link or shackle. I know it works, but it's a bit awkward. Buddyamine did that to a small tractor and it's kind of a pain in the butt compared to a fixed sold mount.
