Obviously, people put hooks on buckets along the top. Where else would you add them to implements/attachments?

I figure once I get the welder ready to go, I might as well use up all 6. I could buy more. There seemed to be a good deal on 6 for the 5/16 variety.

So far.

1 Center of Bucket (I have two aligned with cylinders already)
2 On either side of ballast box. Mainly to hold a short piece of chain if needed. I don't usually use chain.
1 Pallet fork frame to lift in center.
2 Pallet fork frame on sides to use chain to hold a load

Other ideas?

I think you mentioned the normal culprits…If ever thinking about a hitch dead center of the bucket, that’s a nice place to be able to push a trail or wagon around.

If you trailer very much, on the side of the front of the tractor frame on both sides would be a nice place to have ready for the chain to lock it down maybe?

One on each side of your grille guard for transport tie downs and two on the rear end.

You can buy direct from Outback Wraps. The customer service department is outstanding!
