Thanks Bill! Haven't even got a tractor yet and already trying to figure out how to customize.

That's something to keep in mind while shopping- compare the rigidity of the buckets' upper lips. One of the best is often the worst.

You are welcome! Hahaha, when it comes to our toys, I think we all go through that. It's part of the fun. :)

And unfortunately, Ken is out of stock. I've been checking daily, but they haven't come back in stock yet. When they are, I'll be ordering some.

I use steel cables/nylon straps and chains for different jobs so add a D ring like the picture along with your hooks.

Where is everyone getting bucket hooks from? I keep seeing "Ken's" hooks but can't find any info.

The Local Farm Supply store has the 5/16 weld on hooks for just about $5 each. Its Called Race Brothers.

Well if they ship them for a buck a piece.. that is about what I paid for them at the local farm store.. Might as well have the brown truck deliver them and save the gas money:)

James I hate shopping even for neat stuff, so if time allows I get most of my stuff from the brown truck, I just found out that you can get the same kind of hooks from Ken's site, don't know if I can post the link but if not it will get pulled I guess.

I'll share a couple of sources and I've ordered from both.
Zoro tools ships orders over $50.00 for free.

G70 Weld on Grab Hook - From Tulsa Chain, Inc.

3/8" hooks are less than $6.00 shipped...best deal in my opinion for a grade 70 hook

Weld-On Grab Hook by VALUE BRAND - Towing Accessories by Zoro Tools Industrial Supplies

These are only grade 43 but are still rated for more that most Compact tractors can lift.

Northern Tool will ship to store most items for free....if you live close to a store this makes sense.
