Great service from Ken's BoltOnHooks

I placed an order Friday night at 5:37 PM on the website. They shipped on Saturday, and it was in my mailbox at 9:13 AM on Monday, in spite of the banner on the website stating to expect shipping delays due to high volume. Excellent product, outstanding service!!!!

Do you have the 4010 bucket? Wondering what you ordered, if you do. Not sure that I "need" hooks but you never know! :laughing:

KL352 loader, 60" bucket. Ordered two 5/16" Grade 70 Grab Hooks with standard hardware. No grapple on my tractor - yet.

Turns out the spot I need to mount them is double-walled. I decided to mount them anyway, and replaced the supplied bolts with 3.5" long ones. If the hooks cause the walls to flex/bend, I will open up the holes, make some sleeves out of 3/4 .120 tubing, and weld those into the bucket to stiffen everything up. I doubt that will be needed, but I can handle the job if it becomes apparent that I am exceeding the capabilities of the current setup. I just want to move logs and implements in the 300-700lb range without the chain slipping.

Why didn't you just weld some hooks to your bucket?

Umm...maybe he doesn't have a welder?

I installed one from Ken'S last week. Nice quality and relatively easy install, excellent service for sure.

Can't use that excuse - I have five of them. Everything I found locally was either unsuitable or Chinese. I like the way Ken's spread the load. I may yet end up welding these to the bucket, as well as reinforcing the bucket, but so far, so good.

Ummmm.. I think he does. "I will open up the holes, make some sleeves out of 3/4 .120 tubing, and weld those into the bucket to stiffen everything up"
