Ken's Bolt On Hooks

I couldn't agree more. Ken is a nice guy with a terrific product. Picked mine up today and had them installed in an hour. I put two coats of JD green on and baked them in the oven for 30 mins. Hope my wife doesn't read this!

I love them on the bucket and can't wait to use them!

Welcome to GTT Whito123. What temp did you bake them at?

I got the hooks this past week. Put two coats of paint on them over three days. This morning I followed the enclosed instructions and mounted them. Are these "cool for school" or what? It's a must have item as far as I'm concerned

Just a thought here but I wouldn't want to do any heavy offset pulling using bucket hooks. I think I'd be afraid of springing the loader frame. I had a JD 1070 a few years ago and reinforced the upper loader bucket edge using a length of 3/8" X 3" angle iron because I was moving lots of heavy rocks and stumps. I did bolt a heavy hook onto the upper bucket but centered it to distribute the load.

190 degrees. I don't like to spray them inside, so I sprayed them outside and then brought them in to bake them. I've done the same thing for a tv mount for my boat and it seems to help make a better finish. Plus it shortens the waiting time between wet paint and installation!

I LOVE MINE!!!!

By far the best bang for the buck add-on I've done!

I don't think I could've done half of the hurricane clean-up I did last year without them. So much more useable than just the bucket.

Thinking about installing another set just for fun!

Here's a quick pic of one of mine installed

Thanks to EVERYBODY from the bottom of my heart! You are all the reason I make them...

I have got mine painted and now I am waiting for a nice day to install them. They are definitely worth the money because they have a lot of meat to them. I look forward to using them this summer and for many years to come. Thanks Kenny for a great product.:dance::bye:

Preacher, your statement (in bold) got me thinking today as I was making up some more hooks, I have never weighed them individually before. Now I can tell you how much 2 hooks and 4 bolts in a box weigh from the shipping I do...but not a single hook.

So, here is the answer:
