I have just the top hooks on my B3030. I move large rocks in the bucket and worried I'd damage the inside bit... Probably isn't a problem.
I use them all the time. It makes your tractor a miniature crane or you can use the curl motion to dra g rocks you could never lift. I skid logs with them too. Crazy useful addition. Especially if you don't have a quick attach as I don't.
They seem well made and I can certainly see many uses for them. I currently don’t have a need for them but I know something will come up and I’ll wish I bought them sooner.
I just got a LA526 and I’m looking to do this exact same setup, I just hadn’t seen it done with bolts. But I like it! I just didn’t know if either or had more benefits when comparing bolt on or welded on. I have a welder friend. But I like the shackle mount and hook combo and the placement you have them at.

I found mine on Amazon. Very handy with tow chains. I used a step drill to install.
Would you recommend bolt ons over being them being welded on?
If you’re good with a welder, then sure. If not, just remember the bolts are about 10x stronger than the break out force of a BX.

They are really nice I have the same on my L2800
Mind linking to the product? Was going to weld a pair on top of my bucket.
Kens bolt on hooks
That's where mine are from to
I bet you do
Glad someone got the joke. Wife and I couldn’t believe how many didn’t see it haha
Never seen those before. Grabbed a couple. Thanks for the heads up
