what grade hook did they attach? I'm just curious if it was 39 or 70 and chinese or U.S. There are pletny of posts on this site about hooks and chains. Just curious what the dealer added.

I cannot imagine it matters for a bucket hook. For something that one is using for trailering I can understand going out of my way to insure the best but for a utility hook on a bucket I would personally be quite happy if it was made in Shanghai.

That is where we would differ then sir. If I am going to take the time to put one on, it can't fail when used. I am not attempting to argue with you, just a different perspective, having had a chain hook or two pop/bend on me. The loggers in my area don't use the chinese anymore, lessons learned.

I am assuming that it is being used like I would use it, lifting and pulling logs, stumps, etc. Also carrying things.

Fair enough, I understand your reasoning. I use my grapple for those sorts of tasks and I therefore didn't use my bucket hooks for much of anything on my CK20. I haven't even welded any on my new bucket yet. Maybe I'll compromise and find a nice set of Korean ones.
