If you like to pay premium prices for shoddy workmanship, have at it. I have a tool & die shop and have produced a considerable amount of parts over many years and never delivered anything with burrs. If you have no idea about quality, maybe comments aren't in order.
thats cool you should make some and sell them. Ive had 3 sets of kens hooks on 3 different buckets and use his tie downs on the rear frame. I may not be a metallurgist, but I know when I slap on a chain, or tie down hook, they have worked every single time. However, I have not checked for the paint being chipped off my bucket, i should go out now and have a look

Did you have to drill any holes to put them hooks on? I want A set for the front and back. Kens rear John Deere ones look like they will fit the front of my frame but they are out of stockthats cool you should make some and sell them.

Thats on the LX3310 @Gallows
Those are indeed the front deere tie downs that ken offers, they fit the existing rear holes on the LX frame perfectly. The holes already have a nut welded behind them (maybe for backhoe frame?)
The nut that's welded there is for a M16 bolt with 1.5 thread pitch, 30 to 35 mm long. Kens tie downs have a 1/2 hole in them, I just widened them a hair with a 41/64 drill bit and they fit up perfect. They make a great spot for rear tie down.
for the front I just use a D-Ring that I welded to a plate. In the back I dont use the drawbar for rear tie down and always struggled a little finding a good spot back there but kens product has been a great solution.

Very nice. Thanks for the info man. I have A rear backhoe on mine now, so i need To figure out a good spot to tie it down with the hoe on it. As for the front i was Thinking about doing the same as you, but with a shackle Mount
ah you have a backhoe! Are these holes used for the backhoe? I was wondering what they may be for, or possibly for shipping?

Played in the mud for a few hours last night. Dealing with water runoff.
After having the MX, which I love, I miss the LX just a bit. It was much more nimble and obviously smaller. Such a good sized tractor.

Yeah it looks like them holes are for the subframe mounts for the bh77 backhoe

Well that sure looks like fun haha. You got your work cut out for you, that’s for sure
Lol it’s not too bad, just slippery. Having to dig a ditch across the long part of my property. The rains we’ve had in Georgia recently really showed me I’ve got to work on this.
This is about the same place tractor is parked in previous picture.
Damn i wish You lived close, haha I’d have my tractor there helping haha

Well after taking care of my little friend (see the link)
Morning didn't start the way I planned | OrangeTractorTalks - Everything Kubota
I got to work on at the farm. Did a little mowing and weed eating. I moved a pile of wood to the burn pile.
I finished my work and found my dad work on removing brush and old fence line.
Hauled the fencing to the scrape pile and hauled brush and wood to the burn pile.
For it being an unusually warn October day, we got a lot accomplished.

Finally took down that massive limb that had broken almost through and fallen into the crotch of a big dead oak. Its in the woods where I've been really clearing out large rocks and smaller trees with the grapple. Every time I traveled under it all I thought of was 'widow maker'. It is about 14" in diameter at the trunk side. This pic is with my 7000lb rated rope over it.
I used my antenna launcher to get a 10lb test line over it 1st. It launches a 2oz lead sinker with the line attached to the reel on the unit. 20lbs of air was all I needed.
After the fishing line was over I used that to pull up a 1/8in Dacron line which was then used to pull up the 7000lb line.
The line was routed through a snatch block then to the tractor - a safe distance away.
Yeah it all sounds great but it didn't work The way the limb broke I was pulling in exactly the worst direction. I just ripped up the lawn even in 4wd.
I ended up taking the tractor into the woods to the right of where those lines are and pulled directly (far enough away) on the limb. Took one pull. Then it was clean up time
Of course I had to cut that in half so I could move the pieces and get out of the woods.
Gonna be a lot of chipping soon.

Looked like a fun little project
Went to the township dump with a load of brush and small stumps from my house, and than went down the street from me and dug out some stumps for my uncle.
that doesnt look like a limb, it looks like a TREE stuck up in the air! wow! good job getting that sucker down safely
