Nice. I used a 1/2" solid carbide Center drill, Then stepped up through several drills. The point was noted using center punches which are in a 64 size drill case - center is a hard spike. Slide down through the item hole that is clamped down in place and square - slide down and one blow. Then start drilling. I used my blue handle swivel and cleaned the sharp edges down a bit. These are in use often. I no longer hook onto the bucket - but to the hooks with a hook or chain.
I would suggest using some cutting oil for all of that drilling. Drills a lot faster and with less wear and tear on the bit as well as conserving battery. Easy to clean afterwards with paper towel. A 3/4" countersink bit will debur as well. Nice products. Great welds and finish treatment. You could pick that tractor up with them and swing them around before anything of yours broke.
Excellent video! I purchased a set after seeing this video, and they installed just as shown. Too easy. I have purchased a number of other excellent items from Ken’s Bolt on and all items are more than advertised. Have some I Match chain box’s and lids coming. Can’t wait for them to arrive!
FYI The one thing different is when ready to finally mounting them I would clean the surface really well and put a thin coat of silicone caulk for aquariums on the bottom of each plate and bolt them down tight, making it water tight and help prevent rust under the plates for years.
Good video, I watched the Kubota video you did too,,,those are the ones I would need. I've been trying for awhile trying to think of a way to get hooks in my bucket. This might be the answer... thanks
I have a 3032E tractor and my bucket have two holes on it for the hooks and I am thinking of getting some to put on there. No drilling is not required so that is a plus and I want to either put on the grab hooks or order the entire attachment for the bottom of the bucket which will probably be even better.
Sidney Mathious , I was just pulling stumps with one of those today and was thinking how much better it would be with the bucket hooks. Did you ever add them to your bucket?
Hooks ALWAYS go inside the bucket. If a strap or chain breaks it will snap back at the hook like a sling shot. Mount the hooks inside the bucket and the bucket becomes a protection shield for you. Mount the hooks like Ken and the hooks will direct the chain straight into your face.
@@kennykauk4834 Give it a test and let us know about how you feel after getting hit in the face with a broken tow strap/etc... versus having the energy dissipate into the inside of the bucket instead.
Ken I ordered the bolt on hooks for my new JD 2038 Standard bucket, the dealer replace that bucket with the heavy duty bucket because they damaged the original one. My question is do I just need longer bolts to install my hooks? The upper part of the bucket is boxed in. Thank you
Why have the loops in the bucket when you have hooks on top of the bucket? I just got a 1025r and before I add the hooks to the top, would be nice to have the loops inside if I could use them. Thanks.
Ken, Is the hole in the clevis mount large enough to accept a larger shackle? I have 5/8 and 3/4 shackles I use with lifting straps but I'm not confident they will fit in the 1/2 shackle. Thank you!
@@kdeckster What's not recommended? Using something that's overkill? Just because your hooks are rated to 4000+ pounds doesn't mean the loader can lift that. It just means you're not going to bend or break your hooks when using them within spec.
These appear to be an absolutely top notch product but I cannot seem to navigate my way through the web site. Just got a new computer so it might be me. I have a Kubota with a 72 inch square back bucket with the skid steer style quick attach. The website gives me the model number but when I go to the bolt on page, I can't find where to find the model number. I can't find a phone number to call with questions, only e-mail. I really would like to order a set of these so any help here would be greatly appreciated.Thanks
thanks for getting back to nice shirt and glade you up graded Ken and you got what you wanted I have a max26 XLT was looking at hooks and shackles had one hook in the middle of my bucket bent it in got a quart inch angle iron welded that on the top of the bucket neaver bend that again put a weld on hook in middle but was looking at your video of shackles thinking of those just waiting for this virus crap to be over before I orded THANKS AGAIN
Wow nice way to insult a man's products and business, as well as anybody that can't or just doesn't want to weld on their brand new machine. Way to go you keyboard warrior you!
Unless you weld every few weeks with a hi-amp MIG & have practiced structural welding skills that sort of investment makes no sense. I might be talked into hauling my bucket+parts to a pro welder, but I don't see the problem with a bolt-on.
Straight forward process. Good demo.
Thanks Gene

Put mine on today! Thanx Ken. I'm keeping mine the way they are, nice and shiny.
Thanks Tom!

Thanks Ted, we actually suggest doing that in the included instructions.
Just installed my yesterday. Great product, bud!
Thanks PA
Remember to paint drilled holes before bolting and tighten Shackle bolts with a wrench or they will vibrate loose.
And use lock washers!
Thanks! I just ordered a new 1025r and want to get these soon.

@@mikeingeorgia1 No, not yet, but I am still thinking of it.

Makes sense. Thankz!
Makes no sense
At all

Scott, we have that info covered on the website in the FAQ section. Please contact me through there with further questions.
Thanks Ken

They are sized for 1/2" shackles only. The hole diameter is .69".
Ken what is the bottom thing for with the hole in it ? tks frank
frankiejr99 It's for holding a 1/2" sized screw pin shackle. Take a look around the website including the gallery for some examples.
kdeckster tks I think iam going to get top and bottom parts
Is it usual to use an implement that weight is over half the lifting capacity of the tractor it’s attached to?
eugene collins it’s sure not recommended!

Is there a P/N for this particular 3 hook/clevis kit Ken? Thanks
It's three of the BOGH/CM Combo's @ $44.00 each, and three 1/2" SPS @ $6.00 each.
Neat
Is it available in Germany? And of, how and where can I buy it?
Yes sir, Please read the info on the FAQ page then contact me though the email posted on the website. We ship internationally all the time.

WELL KEN I HAVE A QUESTION DID YOU TRADE YOUR WIFE FOR THE TRACTOR ONE HOW MUCH IS THE KIT
Still have the wife...but did upgrade the tractor! They are $44.00 each plus the shackle. All on the website.

Just weld them on, zipo zip done.
Yeah because EVERYBODY has a welder right?
Well, if you don't then you should. Otherwise you end up putting on little gimmee gadgets like those.
