Got my Kens Bolt on Hooks installed today

[WranglerX]

Does not have to be welded and does not have to be "hooks"....

Only though is if you have welder, is a bit of tack weld to make sure spacers stay where you want them, as you "work" with bucket it will flex some and may reduce holding tension on spacer and allow them to slip/move...

Otherwise great looking install....

bucket hooks are very useful: we need heavy duty everything so don’t do any bolted on anything if it can be welded, and our dealer welds them on for almost nothing

 

[some zilch]

-They can’t weld themselves
-They can weld and don’t trust themselves
-They don’t want to wreck the nice paint on top their bucket
-TSC doesn’t sell proper weld on hooks, only zinc plated ones that are not meant for welding

Those are a few quick reasons....

i mean, just using TSC as an example. heres $5 hooks on amazon

Looks great!! Thanks for the write-up and answer to my question. I have used (and maybe abused) my bolt on hooks from Ken and they have been great!! Just need to get one for the middle!

Those Amazon weld on hooks are about the same price as Ken’s. And what do Amazon and TSC do for the TractorByNet forums? I’d rather spend my money with a forum sponsor who helps to make this place possible.

We sell the weld on hooks too, as well as some laser cut blank backing plates. You obviously can weld and fabricate yourself, so there is no need for you to denigrate those who can’t or chose to buy Bolt-On’s for one of the other reasons I posted above.

If only more businesses would follow the lead of Ken's "bolt on hooks" with respect to customer service. This business responded to an issue that a customer raised and delivered an answer and guess what, the customer is more than satisfied and tells others. What a crazy idea for business? You make customer after customer happy and you get more and more customers. Who would have thought? Or, use the other business model which is maximize profits for the month and lose customers who are annoyed and tell everyone they meet. The business fails and the owners question, what did we do wrong?

Well done "Ken's Bolt on Hooks." You've got my attention.

What a unique process....Most concepts today are "take the money and run" (hide)....
