I plan to buy some weld on hooks and weld them to a plate which I will bolt on the loader bucket.
just cann't seem to find bolt on hooks in ontario. might have to order them.

no need to make it stronger then the metal that is supporting it. I will still use plates.

I did the same as the previous post except I turned the angle iron around 180 which closes the back of the bucket. 2x3x1/4 angle. This also gives the top of the bucket more srength. 5/16 hooks on each end and 3/8 in the middle.

Ken's Bolt On Grab Hooks
Kennyd sells them, Not sure if he ships to Canada.
I think with the bolt on there would be more options to make it as durable as possible, thru the use of top and bottom plates etc, if necessary.

I see that you have a BX2660. If you are looking for a different option other than welding or drilling a hole, you may be interested in what BXpanded has to offer Bucket Hooks. They mount and dismount in seconds. Attached is a picture of mine along with their brush forks.

Those look great, I went to the website but still can't figure out exactly what holds them on. Do they wedge themselves in behind the top edge of the bucket?
