Want to add a bolt-on hook to my loader bucket. Orange would be nice but not necessary. Any recommendations from those who have done this mod. Thought it would be helpful pulling t-post in the next few weeks.

You can probably get a T post puller from Harbor Freight cheaper than a pair of Ken's Bolt on Hooks but it won't be as versatile. I hot a pair last fall and the fit was perfect - though I did measure carefully about three times before ordering. They are a quality addition and the customer service is far beyond reproach. I only bought the hooks, not the clevis plate, too. I figure I can add that at a later date if it's ever needed. They didn't have my size in their "seconds" so I paid full bore and feel it was worth it. No, they're not orange but they have no paint to chip either. The plating seems substantial. I installed mine with a battery powered drill in the field.

These look Better and have a clean install, more than any I’ve seen.
Like said above.

X3 on Ken's Bolt On Hooks. One of the more frequently used additions to my tractor. I just pulled wood fence posts yesterday using chain and the hooks. Surprisingly (to me anyway) T posts were much more difficult coming out when I pulled a few for a neighbor this past summer.

I couldn't bear to drill holes into my bucket ( <250hrs.....) so I fabbed up some 'clamp on' grab hooks. 1st design worked great but needed some 'tweaking' so V2.0 will have 3 hooks(grab,slip,grab) but removable.

Ken's Bolt on Hooks. Easy to install, work great, and we have used them a LOT.
I have since went back and painted the bolts, so everything is orange. Although, we have used them a lot and the paint wears off, but easy enough to spray them again.
