Please give our products a look.
Made in the USA with specific options for your BX depending on which bucket you have.

I’d also look at Ken’s Bolt on Hooks. Not that much higher than Amazon and there is a chance the stuff on Amazon is an unknown quality.

That's why I like to post, you find things you may not find other wise. What would be a sensible combo to go with that would cover a different scenarios. Tractor is used around the farm and home ( when a tractor of this size is needed ). Thanks

You'll have to decide what type and configuration of hooks will work for you. I have (3) Ken's Bolt on hooks on my bucket. One centered, and two inline with the loader arms.
He makes a wide variety of options, and enjoys an excellent reputation for quality products.

If you can post (or email me) pics of your bucket, I can help better. Otherwise start here on the website:

Ken I am not sure why the pictures posted like this but they should open if you click on them.

Looks like you need our 1-5/8" spacered hooks, the ones in the "pin-on" section of the website I linked earlier. There are also measuring instructions on that page.

You're going to want to reinforce that bucket before welding hooks on it. A piece of 1/4" or 5/16" x 3"-4" flat bar across the top would probably do it.

Any of the bucket hooks above will be stronger than a standard bucket's steel. I have welded-hooks courtesy of the dealer on my JD which has an upgraded heavy-duty bucket - no problem. However, I have a central bolted on clevis hook on my Kubota B2650. I made the mistake of using the Kubota like I would the JD, yarding out a wind-blown maple log using a chain hooked to that clevis on the Kubota. Now I have a nice upward bend on the bucket lip where the hook attaches. The clevis hook itself of course is just fine.

I have 2 bolt-on chain hooks, both inline with the loader arms. When I need the load centered I use a 6' length of 3/8" chain between the hooks.
This way I don't risk bending my bucket in the center.

Then of course you could always DIY something like "slots".... Just 2x2x1/4 inch angle iron... Slot is 5/16, hold 1/4 or 5/16 chain just fine...

I prefer to weld hooks to 1/4” thick angle iron that is the length of the bucket lip. Then I bolt the angle iron to the bucket lip. This reduces the likelihood of bending the bucket lip.

I did something similar on my previous tractor, but used a 4' long 2x2" (or 3x3" ?) slotted piece of angle iron welded to the bucket. Chain slots are incredibly convenient
