Bucket Hook(s) Placement

[Jeepnford]

I have a QA bucket on my Case so I bought a QA plate and welded hooks and D-rings to it. Soon I'm going to add a receiver hitch to it. I also have hooks welded to my bucket for lighter weight lifting but use the plate for heavier stuff. I'll try to post pics in a couple of days.

Thanks for the continued replies. Was home over the Thanksgiving holiday but did not have time to get the hooks and coupler welded. I did have time to pull some stumps:thumbsup::thumbsup:

I have been wondering why the manufacturers do not put hooks on the buckets/FEL. Is it simply a liability issue, or are there other reasons? Some dealers will weld them on, but no manufacturers offer them from the factory.

Its really easy to be a idiot and do alot of damage to the tractor if you don't know your limits. I know I have lifted with mine, and quit, because bad things were going to happen. Most don't know when to quit, and either get hurt, or damage machine. Warranty makes them nervous

Nice Job! Looks like a super-duty bucket! What kinda tractor you have that on?
