Not a welder... What is it about that hook (other than the company) that's not good?
I got my hooks several years ago from Ken's Bolt On Hooks, and they are top quality. I highly recommend them.

Inconsistent bead size, substantial crater at the lower end of the weld, insufficient throat depth also at bottom. Will it break, maybe not, would I put my name on it...nope.

Doesn't look very professional, but, on the other hand, it looks better than some of mine and I've never had one break.

So it got galvanized after the weld?
It does look like he ran out of stick or stopped the weld right there for some reason, wouldn’t have used that side but it’s not like the average photographer would figure that out.

Did you
Not nearly as pretty as Ken's BOH, you only need 2, what's the holdup?
It depends on what you'll be asking of it. Probably 90% of the tractors here would stall or deform the bucket before that thing would fail.

No. I welded mine on about 10 years ago. They aren't pretty either

Mine are welded on but I never got around to painting them. Probably should do that now. Since I’m retired.

I find it hard to believe that your little tractor will break it. If so, it might be better to break the hook than your tractor. Why don't you buy it and if it breaks, post pictures.

The sheet metal you attach ANY of the afore mentioned hooks to will deform long before the weld fails anyway. I roll my own anyway, no need to buy them. Shield gas MIG welding is never 100% aesthetic unless it's pulsed MIG. JMO.

I have the Amazon version of those. The 3/8" refers to the size of the chain, not the bolts. The bolts that came with mine are 1/2". Mine would probably pull through the bucket material before failing. They will also outwork the lift on my Kenbota.
