[Ryansweatt2004]

Hey does anyone know why woods equipment puts these two holes in each side of their HD loader buckets?

Was thinking bucket extensions for snow removal but woods doesent show any.

Bolt on bracket for forks (top pipe) mounted forks if I remember right.

Could be as simple as holes to hang it by for paint or powder coat.

Some folks leave their buckets up in the air when the tractor is not in use. Those holes are to reduce the volume of water the bucket can hold to prevent overload of the hydraulic system.
