Recently purchased some bolt on hooks and a clevis mount from Ken's
http://www.boltonhooks.com/bolt-on.html
after reading about them in a different thread.

This is an unsolicited recommendation. The ordering process went smoothly. The items arrived in a timely fashion and are exactly as described. The parts are of a high quality.

I just finished installing them on my SSQA bucket. They went on without any hiccups and look great. I have never met or talked to Ken, but am impressed with his web site, service and products. Yes, I would recommend his bolt on products to anyone considering adding some to their bucket.

I also read that thread and plan to get some for my bucket. I need to wait until it is here so I can be sure of the exact one I have before ordering. I have Kens site bookmarked for quick reference for when my machine gets here though. I watched the how to video on his site and it seems pretty simple. Yours came out nice, where did you get the orange paint from?

The orange paint is Kubota (expensive) spray paint. I know I could have saved a few dollars and bought a can of aftermarket paint. Just seemed wrong with a new tractor/FEL. Didn't want to chance a mismatched color.

I had the same results with my order. I also got a foresters hooks and grab hooks and slip hooks for four chains. I am going to order a few more weld on hooks for my box blade.

I suppose if you don't have a welder the bolt on hooks will work. However,as one makes use of the tractor for many uses, consider welding on the hooks. If you don't have a welder, consider getting one. Pretty handy. My hooks were welded on with a $99 welder. Somewhat limited but for small jobs ya will find it very useful.

Got my hooks today, great service and packed as if they are fragile.
Bolted them on but didn't have a chance to try them out.
Have a decent MIG welder but these look way more professional than welding them on.

I too am another satisfied customer of Kens hooks. I have never heard any reviews that could be called even 4 stars, I think they are all 5. Great service and product that are quite useful and will add value to your tractor should the day comes to sell. :)
