Who It's For

This product suits owners of common compact tractors and buckets from manufacturers like John Deere, Kubota, Mahindra, Kioti, and New Holland who want to add durable tow and grab points without major modification. It is useful for landscapers and small farm operators who need to drag stumps, pull trailers with a 2' hitch insert, or secure loads to a bucket.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of buckets narrower than the specified top width or machines where the underside of the bucket cannot be accessed to drill and secure the supplied hardware, and anyone needing a custom mount profile not compatible with a universal bolt-on design.
