Ken's Hooks

[lew61]

After reading a bunch of fel bucket hook posts, and looking over some hooks at my local hardware store, I ordered a set of Ken's bolt on hooks. They arrived and I give them a big thumbs up. Excellent quality and speedy delivery - in a world over-filled with cheap and shoddy, I'm happy to recommend Ken's products. :thumbsup:

Same here! Ken also sells weld-on hooks, which is what I bought.

There have been several threads in the past regarding FEL bucket hooks. I bought a set of three Ken's Bolt on Hooks over a year ago, and I am completely satisfied. They have served me well.

I have two of Ken's 5/16" bolt-on grab hooks on my bucket, plus a third at the back, bolted on the cross-drawbar. Ken's grab hook on the cross-drawbar is always there and handy for 95% of my heavy pulling needs.

When I need (rarely) to drag an oversize log a short distance I pin a Speeco pivoting grab hook to the center drawbar + 3/8" chain. After dragging log free over the ground, I elevate log with OMNI Hanging Tree (pictured) and safely good to go.

I do not leave the Speeco attached to the center drawbar. It pivots, gets under the check chains/stabilizers and will mangle the check chains when you lift the three point hitch. (Ask me how I know.)

Kubota gets a fancy price for their check chain components, which are metric, so you cannot substitute turnbuckle parts from your local hardware store.

Go with Ken's. Save your stabilizers.
