Does anyone offer a backhoe hook? Doing a pondless waterfall next spring and I'm looking for a way to lift slinged rocks into position. Need the reach and ability to move the rocks into position with a backhoe vs the bucket. BX23 by the way

I had one welded on, cost of the hook and $5 for the welding.
BTW, I do not lift directly with the hook. I keep the chain going around the bucket to 'share the load'.

We have many customers that use our Bolt-On Hooks or Clevis Mounts on their backhoe buckets:

I recommend one of Kenny's clevis mounts I put one on my backhoe to hoist things around and it works great. :)

I have a receiver hitch that goes in like a bucket and you can get a variety of hooks for.

Got my bucket hooks with clevis plates and a backhoe hook today from boltonhooks.com. Followed instructions and they were on in about 20 minutes! Great addition and will be very handy with the waterfall work next spring. We've been collecting rock off the property and need to move them so the timing of the delivery is perfect. Totally happy!
