Chain hooks on tractor bucket.

[Fireman Bill]

I was finally able to weld up the chain hooks I purchased months ago. Cutting 60-80 dead ash trees and 32 red oaks (all dying or dead) at my brother in laws. These hooks will sure be nice loading the logs.

3/8" hooks? I need to add some to my new tractor's bucket as well. I'll probably just drill and use bolt on hooks for mine. I won't use them for moving logs though as I've got forks and a grapple for that. Hooks come in handy for a WHOLE LOT of things though.

Hooks are great on a bucket I put mine on back of top of bucket so I can still use top edge of bucket for without hook protruding , I carry plywood sometimes with bucket like to keep sheets flat

all my buckets have hooks,---sometimes a life saver, and sometimes a PITA! --- still handy when you do need them!

Look up kens bolt on hooks. I have them on my 1025r and have used them a lot for pulling trees and stumps.

I welded hooks and D-rings on the top of my bucket. Hooks are great for chains, but sometimes I use cable and the d-rings work good for that. I also added a reciever hitch to my brothers bucket, works good for moving his horse trailer.

Looks nice, I would have reinforced a little farther out on the lip of the bucket, or added a gusset underneath the lip. We did the same thing on my old man's L series kubota and bent the lip. Nothing a hammer and some scrap metal couldn't fix.
If you ever get some extra money, get a ssqa conversion for your tractor, and forks or a grapple. You'll never go back to moving logs with chains and the bucket.
