BH 77 bucket hook mounting

[Jake1074]

I would like to mount a chain hook on the bucket of my BH77, just not sure where the best place is. I have Ken's Bolt On hooks on the loader bucket and was thinking of using similar.

Suggestions? Pics of yours?

I just hook the chain end onto the lip of the bucket, but I'm not moving anything so heavy as to be anywhere near the limits of my hoe. Certainly not heavy enough to bend the bucket lip. If you add a hook, post up some pics and let us know how you like it.

Kens bolt on hooks also sells a really nice weld on excavator hook, with a spring loaded latch, for that application. They actually have a slight curve to them to fit the back of a backhoe bucket. Perfect for what you want to do. I have bought several from him and weld onto the center of the loader bucket for several people.

Thanks RKidd, those look great!


I have a few pictures of the Bolt-On hooks on some small JD buckets, I know many customers have bought them for the their backhoes, but very few have sent pics unfortunately.

Gosh Jake - you got the attention of Ken himself!

Ken - they fit on those little JD buckets real nice! Looks like a nice spot.
