Kubota Bx 2380 and Kens Hooks

[Deleted member 347538]

Hello folks. I知 attempting to purchase some bucket hooks for my tractor. I知 specificallly looking at Kens bolt on hooks. Has anyone with my same model of tractor used them? If so, how do you like them and what ones, specifically, did you get?

Also, I知 considering a piranha bar for my loader. My soil is decently rocky and dense. I realize I don稚 own an excavator but would this bar work for cutting into a mild hillside for pouring a pad, building a fire pit, etc?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Look on Kens site for hooks for a similarly shaped bucket. The Piranha bar makes a significant difference.

I put a set of Ken's Bolt On Hooks on the top of my bucket. I have the L2501 with the LA525 loader. Look carefully at the bucket pictures to get the correct hooks for your particular bucket. You may need to measure carefully to ensure the size is correct. According to the website there is some variation among bucket models. I think they were a fantastic addition to my bucket as it came with no attachment points whatsoever. The hooks are great, the quality is beyond reproach, and Ken is a real human being. They neglected to include a drill guide with my hooks, I emailed the company, and Ken responded personally and immediately. This is definitely a company worthy of repeat business. I don't have or need a piranha bar so I have no input on that choice.

I have a BX2680 with the LA344 FEL. I bought the bolt-on-hook-w-clevis-mount with the 2 13/16" spacer. Fits the bucket perfectly. I also have the Pirahna Tooth bar. I ordered the version for the BX and it not only fits well but works great. Expensive but worth the money IMHO.
