Welding 5 hooks to a 60\" Kubota bucket
I'm thinking of welding four 5/16" grab hooks and one slip hook on my B3030 bucket. Two of the grab hooks would be on the top reinforced lip in front of the boom arms. ( thanks TBNers for this advice ) The other two grab hooks would be welded with the openings facing up, on plates welded to back outside wall of the bucket, high enough as to not interfere when back dragging. My reason for doing this is so if I wanted to carry long objects like fence posts, fence boards, logs etc. What I would do is run two chains from the back hooks, under the bucket, around the objects and attach to the top hooks. Did I mention I need to get a toothbar ?
The slip hook will be welded to the top center of the bucket like most I've seen on TBN. I'd appreciate any input. But My question is about the slip hook. The only one that I really like is the one that's on Henro's ? bucket. It's a hook with a thumb. Looks like a c laying on it's side. Will Henro or someone else tell me where I can get one ?
Thanx John
