Bucket Hooks on NEW XR4145HC

[AJ197816134]

We will be finally picking up the XR4145HC this Saturday. I am looking for photos or ideas of how bucket hooks were done. I am reading and looking to see who has bolted them and Who has welded them if anyone actually has.

Thanks in advance

I welded the ones on my Deere. Go to boltonhooks.com and get what you need. My new tractor will be here around the end of February and will have what I need waiting for it

Bolt on.

Grab hooks are welded on, Chrome hooks re bolted on.
I did first weld on a full bucket width piece on 3/16" 2x2 angle then welded on the hooks. I didn't think the bucket alone would be thick enough to weld hooks to.

I had 3 welded on my XR 4140 by dealer. The bucket seems beefy enough to hold up to reasonable lifts

My dealer welded a center grab hook to my bucket and I asked him to add a shackle (clevis) mount instead of the usual D ring next to it, which he did.

Kens bolt on hooks on the outside and clevis/shackle backer plates on the inside of a 66" bucket .
Good quality hardware and a good guy to deal with .

Had a friend weld on 3 grab hooks to my Rhino bucket. He took 4"x6" 3/8 steel plate and welded to bucket then welded the grab hooks to the steel plate. Very heavy duty setup. Done 9 years ago and never a problem.

Thanks! Can I steel that pic for the website?
