SPARKWHIZ 3/8 Tractor Bucket Hooks, Bolt On Grab Hook Grade 70 Forged Steel, Tow Hook Mount with Backer Plate for John-Deere Loader kubota Tractor Bucket (Black)

Came with reinforcing plate to strengthen the thin bucket metal.

Have used yet , but look fine

The bucket hooks need a 1” spacer block under the hook to allow the hook base p”ate to be level with the lip that is on my Kubota bucket.

Really well made, welding looks fantastic.

Excellent addition to my unit. Very happy with purchase!

Hard part was drilling thru the metal, after that it was 2 mins each install/ Ill weld them in later.

Its what I was looking for.

Good service and product

I bought these to attach to my loader bucket so I could move things around with straps rather than having to switch to my pallet forks. These hooks seem very sturdy, well built, and heavy duty. The welds seem to be very good, and the powder coat finish is smooth and well done. I installed these on my Mahindra 1626 loader bucket. I drilled through the bucket with a step bit after marking the holes for the bolts. The bolts are nice and long, very beefy. I installed the backing plate in the bucket itself, and put the bolts through from inside the bucket to the back of the bucket and through the hook plate. My reasoning is that I dont want them to get beat up, or bent, when Im moving stone or other hard items. I honestly dont think that would happen, but better safe than sorry. I tightened the bolts down, and added Loctite red to prevent loosening. The finish of the hooks matches the color of my bucket perfectly, like theyre OEM. Im very pleased with these hooks, and Im sure theyll come in handy around the farm.
