You know, that's a good idea IslandTractor. I never thought about that. Those would come in really handy.

My father has an Arc Welder, I bet I could get some welded on.
All though it would be easier to have them put on before delivery.
Now, you got me thinking...
I will have to call my dealer this morning and see if we can add those.

Hodak,
Yes this will be a very long weekend /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
But, I will survive. I have 2 remote car starter installs. This is the last winter I go without one.

Thanks everyone for the compliments and comments/suggestions. Stand by for pics and videos Monday night. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I put my hooks on the outer edge, their just doesn't seem to be a lot of strength across the top of the bucket.

Looks good <font color="red">RedRocker</font>,

I called this morning and talked to Dick (owner) and he said he would add the hooks before delivery. I trust he will put them where he feels is the best spot, I did not specify where to put them.

Thanks for the suggestion,

I've seen a variety of hook configurations. I have three with the middle one reinforced by a 3'x10 inch plate. As RedRocker points out, the geometry dictates that is a weak point in any bucket.

If you don't get one now, you'll probably be happy to add a toothbar to that bucket for much better digging and loading of shrubs/vines/straw etc. It certainly was one of the best additions I have made to my cK20. Congratulations on your purchase.
