Add lifting, pulling, and tie-down versatility to your bucket with this heavy-duty bolt-on hook and D-ring combo. Made in the USA and designed for strength, flexibility, and long-term durability, this setup lets you safely lift, pull, or secure loads with no welding required.
Although originally engineered to clear the 1″ rolled lip on the top of many BX tractor buckets, the design also makes it a great solution for other buckets with a similar curved or reverse-rolled top edge. The included 1″ high-density polyethylene (HDPE) spacer offsets the hook perfectly to avoid damaging the bucket while maintaining full load-carrying strength. If you don’t have a 1″ lip, just leave out the spacer and take advantage of its exceptional quality and versatility.
Note: Be sure to measure before purchasing to ensure this fits your needs.
Each unit features a high-strength steel hook paired with a reinforced backer plate that includes a welded D-ring on the opposite side. This reversible design allows you to install the hook above the bucket with the D-ring inside, or flip it depending on your setup. Other designs on the market weld the hook directly to a spacer, limiting your mounting options – Ai2/Ibex gives you the freedom to configure it your way.
Install a single unit wherever you need an anchor point, or add multiple sets for maximum utility. Whether you’re lifting logs, pulling fence posts, or securing cargo, a bolt-on bucket hook is one of the simplest and most useful upgrades you can make to your compact tractor.

I should have bought these earlier-
Just moved the garage, and had to unload several large items like my snowbolwer and my 80 gallon compressor using the tractor bucket. The way I secured the items was pretty sketchy, so I ordered these so I’ll never have to do that again.
These went in very easily, about 10 minutes for the pair. I measured the locations to center them, used a sharpie to make marks in the mount plate holes, hit the marks with a center punch, and then drilled. The Kubota bucket is mild steel and pretty easy to drill through, but I still used a 3/16 bit to start the holes and then finished with a 13/32 drill bit. A step bit would have been nicer, but I sed what I had and got them installed very fast.

Glad to hear it Michael! Thank you for your purchase.

Great product. I especially like the all steel extension to fit the raised edge on my pin on bucket. They are stronger than the tractor will lift. Used a short piece of chain to pull metal fence posts and dead sapplings up like butter. Great product.
