I like the way my dealer mounts hooks with angle iron for reinforcement:

I just put bolt on hooks on my bucket this afternoon - very similar to Damifino's installation. They are in line with the bucket cylinders (thanks kennyd). With a pair of "chain saddle grab links" (Google for image) it should be a very adaptable arrangement.

I did the same thing, thanks for the chain saddle grab link idea :)

My new B3030 with three weld-on hooks and square reinforcement across the upper bucket lip. Dealer installed with me furnishing the hooks.

I have three grab hooks on another bucket, so did the same with the Kubota.

I bought a set of bolt on hooks at northern tool, item # 14160, easy to install and I beleive they are rated 10,000lbs each.

Do you think that 10,000lb rating will keep up with the load capacity of your FEL??? :)

Here's another option that also reinforces the top of the bucket. (I did this to my loader before I learned how to weld). Take a 3-4 foot peice of 3 inch heave angle iron and cut three slots in one side of the angle. One in the middle and one at each end. Drill and bolt the angle iron to the bucket top with the slots vertical. They hold chain like a "chain dog," just slip the chain in the slot. No way I can bend my bucket with this set up.

After reading your posts. I have a kubota l3000 with a 450 loader. i set up some forks on the cheap. i needed a way to lift shingles onto scaffolding. I used a "carry all" for the forks and used a cast "I" hook in the middle of the bucket to hook onto the top link connection of the carry all. The carry all would swing so I welded a 3"x"3 piece of angle iron on the bottom of the carry so it rests under the bucket. It works for what I needed it for. Besides I found I could only lift about 3 bundles of shingles (250 lbs)before the bucket stopped lifting.
