Quick attach bucket hooks and receiver

[DQBX]

I did a search and did not find this.

So on Christmas Eve I had my BX2680 delivered. It is replacing my 20 yo BX 1500. I ordered it with the Quick attach system for the front loader.

My 1500 has welded on hooks and I am wondering if there is a recommended set of bolt on hooks preferably with a hitch receiver I can get. Google shows lots of options but none say if they will fit this bucket.

I didn't have the heart to weld or drill into my new bucket,so I went with option #3.
That's a section of electrical 'strut' that nicely slides into the 'pockets',hooks get bolted to the funny strut nuts and its tight. 4+ years, no issues.
Glad to see the HD bar ! I wore the corners off my bucket pushing snow for 2-3 seasons.

We have the hooks, but no receiver :

Kubota™ Quick-Attach Buckets - BoltOnHooks LLC

Bolt-On Hooks and other accessories for Kubota compact tractors.

Instead of a receiver on the bucket, I'd suggest a set of forks that have a built in receiver hitch in the frame, you'll get double duty out of them, and forks are as handy as a pocket on the t-shirt.

I always like to weld hooks onto a 1/4” thick piece of angle iron that is the length of the bucket lip. Then drill and mount the angle iron to the bucket. This will strengthen your bucket lip.

The dealer welded 3 hooks on my bucket I have used them countless times. I dont see what the fear of welding hooks
onto the bucket. Way cleaner than any other method.
