BEST BOLT-ON BUCKET BRACKETS FIX JOHN DEERE'S BAD DESIGN! 🚜

[@bryanmulholland]

Your videos are just phenominal. You are helping so many people in thier purchase and advice on 'what to do" and 'what not to do'. Keep up the great work on helping all of us with equipment decisions!

[@GoodWorksTractors]

I appreciate that!

[@briandickinson3721]

Agreed, this was very useful info, I will be ordering later today! Side note: when drilling in metal, high speeds generate friction which caused the metal (and the bit) to heat up. This causes cutting/ shearing ability of the bit to diminish quickly (more heat, slower cutting). When drilling metal you a medium to medium low drill speed, and when possible cutting oil helps too.

[@joelnickerson6739]

I believe about 2 years ago you advertised the pair of bolt on bucket skids and I'm very happy I ordered them. I have a gravel driveway and I didn't have a problem moving snow without getting a bucket of gravel. These are a must if you move snow. Great product.

[@crashland5711]

Rule of thumb, the bigger a drill bit the slower the speed and feed. Also use a lube.

[@HDDD2]

I totally agree - I got these for my JD bucket and they really made the versatility of my bucket SOAR!!!

[@supermike0822]

Thanks for the heads-up on these. Our JD dealer said he could not 'order' the HD bucket with our tractor, and due to supply chain issues right now "you never know what they might come in with". We wanted the HD bucket, but I have a feeling we'll get the standard. 🤨 At least this gives me a solid option for reinforcement and some extra connection points.

[@-Dave-is-not-here]

Ju FabWorks made me a custom setup for my New Holland WorkMaster 25s base off the JD one with the receiver, 2 d-links and 2 hooks for the center of the bucket. I than added 2 hooks from Kens Bolt on hooks on the edge by the arms. Both companies make great US made products and both great to deal with.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Yep, two good companies that we're glad are making products for us to use! Glad you JU was able to help you out with a custom piece.

[@concert610]

I welded hooks and 2" receiver to my bucket. Best accessories ever. I use the 2" with a wench mount I made from some 2" square tube and 1/4" plate steel. I love how easy to install your mounts are.

[@timcrosby4651]

A wench mount conjures up a different visual in my mind

[@williambartholomew5680]

[@marvindiamonjr.9631]

I'm waiting on a 4 in 1 bucket from John Deere for my 3046 tractor. When it finally gets here, I'll check out the possibilities for these brackets. They look useful as all get out! I really appreciate the way you are always looking for new tractor accessories. I don't believe I would have ever come across these on my own. Your videos are always informative and helpful, sometimes even humorous. And discounts are nice, too. Thanks again!

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Marvin, we appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave such a comment. We're happy to keep making videos, but viewers like you are a good encouragement for us!

[@gordonwybo898]

I bought my 4 in 1 bucket when I bought my used 5205 back in 2017. The only thing I’ve added was 3 weld on hooks across the top of the bucket. Got them off eBay for about $10.00 set. Just be careful if you attempt to pick up something too heavy or clamp too hard you’ll spring the clam shell portion and have to find a solid tree or stump to push it back even. No big deal. I wouldn’t trade it for anything!!!

[@chrisseats]

Great video! A set of transfer punches will get your holes lined up perfect and save on having to widen the holes out as you put the brackets on.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Transfer punches are one of those things we hadn't heard of... until today! Thanks for the tip!

[@phild9813]

I just used my stump bucket for the first time last night, and it worked phenomenally! I mean, like butter! Thanks!

[@GoodWorksTractors]

So glad to hear that. We're always looking for tips for improvement from people using it in the field. So feel free to tell us what limitations you may encounter as well!

[@johnrose5058]

I got the bracket with the two loops the receiver and the two hocks and it is a game changer. So many uses.

[@raymondmcdonald7085]

First thing I fixed when I got my 3320 back in 2008. The very first time I used the bucket it showed signs of tweaking. I didn't bend it but I could see it would eventually happen so I reinforced the top lip with a weld on angle iron piece to create a box effect. I worked for Cat and John Deere back in the day on the heavy stuff so light duty was something I had never dealt with. I told the sales guy when I bought my 3320 back in 2008 I didn't think it was going to last. It has proved me wrong. The little consumer grade tractors hold up really well if they are not abused. Good video, great presentation!

[@erice9536]

What a coincidence! I just bought the center plate for my 1025 last week and was thinking to myself this guy needs to partner with someone on youtube to get the word out. Very well made piece, comes with excellent hardware and will be extremely handy to use for years! Buy one, you won't regret it!

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Glad you're happy with your purchase. We were happy to feature such a quality product!

[@John.117]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. two points I was thinking... block the bucket when it's hanging in the air and you have limbs close/under it... and use a brush for metal shavings, as a cloth retains them and you'll scratch whatever you wipe next (yeah... it happened to me). But that's my view from the cheap seats... you of course are there/know/have your reasons... much better than I do. Again... awesome video. Thanks for sharing. Best to you and yours.

[@wildcat9090]

Yes, just used this bucket mount receiver to pull a trailer across the property because I didn't want to remove the implement I had on the back. Slo-mo at 10:48 is beautiful.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Perfect usage, if you ask us! The slo-mo was worth a chuckle!

[@fonnfour]

Just a side note, Steel requires a slower cutting speed and wood a higher cutting speed. Hence the normal two setting on your drills. Yes the slow speed is good for using with fasteners but it is also great as you found out to drill into steel. Oh and Aluminum is same as or higher than wood.

[@billthompson9595]

Great video! i welded up something similar with the trailer receiver bracket and hooks 23years ago! All the best!

[@thegoodsteer5945]

I used a step bit for the first time on this install on my 1025R and will never use an all purpose bit on metal again. Makes it so much easier. Just be careful is you're wearing crocs with no socks, the metal shavings are way hot!

[@richgrizz4899]

Great stuff , new tractor owner, never miss a episode, keep them coming, even my wife watches

[@mlcmzy659]

Greatly appreciate the info on these chain hooks/handles/re-enforcement plates. Been watching you and Tim over at TTWT for years, finally pulled the trigger got a 1025R ordered; supposed to arrive in about 1.5 weeks here in Goochland, VA. Just ordered a set with grab handles and don't even have the tractor yet...lol! You guys keep up the great work, thanks so much for all the info!

[@jufabworkscustomtractoracc6102]

Enjoy your new tractor when it arrives and Thank you for the business!

[@rickedrington3911]

Good equipment but I believe I would install the attachment bolts from the bucket side up to the bracket so the bolt threads are more protected in case you need to remove/replace them or the attachment.

[@johnetheriedge8675]

I apologize for not having told you what a good job you do on your Chanel. I enjoy most all you informed videos. I am amazed you are not a dealer You did a great video on the JU products. You might check on how reliable your suppliers are. When I went to their website after I watched your video. I called & asked for a call to answer a question. The next afternoon I had received no return call. They then were sold out of what you showed on your video and won’t be in stock again until late June, and he had removed his phone number & would receive e-mails only. I sent an email & still have received no email response. Keep up the good work! Thanks, John

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Thank you John. I'm a small business myself and it's very hard for me to get back to everyone even though I do it full time. Jeff's doing this part time by himself. I think he's overwhelmed with business right now. Hard to predict what will happen once the word gets out. So, I'm sure he's just trying to do what he can to get caught up now. Growing pains are good problems to have. Means you're on the right track.

[@brett.mckinley]

Another great video. I will say, you came out with this video about 48 hours too late. I've been waiting almost 2 years to buy a front end loader and finally bought one last month. I just added Ken's bolt on hooks two days ago. I think Im going to like them a lot BUT I think I would have gone with this option if I would have know about it. Thanks again for all the helpful content. I plan on reaching out and buying attachments from you in the future.

[@ReinQuest]

Tips: -Buy a centering punch set. That’ll align to your hole. You should always center punch metal before drilling anyway. -Squirt oil on that drill bit to lengthen cutting edge life span. -Recommended to start with a smaller drill bit and work up to final size. My reaction: Wow JD really did go cheap on them. It’s great that these are bolt on, makes it easier for anyone to do. Personally I think I’d also weld them on too.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Thanks for the tip. Your ideas align with some others in the comments. Look for the next time we drill though metal on camera! Should be much better :) There is a weld-on version that will come unpainted.

[@tbirdpimp07]

Transfer punches are ideal in this situation

[@f.davidbush9093]

I have hooks from Bolt On Hooks on mine. They work great and I use them all the time.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Good stuff!

[@jufabworkscustomtractoracc6102]

Kens Hooks are awesome quality and Ken is a great guy. We actually use "Kens" hooks on all of our products.

[@FordF250Tremor]

Great video. I plan on getting on but I think I would put the nut on the top side so the exposed threads don’t get beat up from debris that is in the bucket.

[@blackhawkinternationalsecu6962]

Courtney as suggestion. I have a personal issue with metal shaving especially with drilling. What I do is put a heavy duty magnet in a cheap plastic bag next to my work. When finished I slide the magnet over the shavings and after I pick them up, turn the bad inside out. Maybe that's why I like welding everything so much. 🤣🤣

[@GoodWorksTractors]

That's a clever idea. IDK if we do enough drilling to worry about it, but if we do, I like this idea!

[@blackhawkinternationalsecu6962]

@@GoodWorksTractors After getting enough metal shavings in my fingers, I got to thinking about my dogs stepping on the shavings. etc. I love using it on the drill press especially. Makes clean up a lot easier.

[@scottrayhons2537]

I buy Westendorf loaders now. John Deere 148 loaders always broke at the. 4-bolt mounts. I welded most of these features on my bucket years ago.

[@Ron-ds2ob]

I took a couple chain hooks and cut off the pin connection. I then welded them to a 2' x 1/4" plate, and gave it a nice orange paint job and bolted them on top of the bucket. I also took a D ring and welded it to a 4" x 4" x 1/4" plate and bolted that to the center of the back wall of the bucket. This way, if the cable or strap you have hood to it ever breaks, it will recoil to the center of the bucket instead of straight at the operator.

Perfect timing Courtney! I ordered some hooks from Amazon for the bucket of my 4052R, I was just waiting for my son to weld them on for me. Looks like I’ll be returning those and ordering the Workmaster plate instead. I like that they offer an unpainted weld-on version as well. Thanks buddy!

[@mattnicol8882]

Great video!! I would suggest removing any chips between the parts before final installation though. I understand why you put in a bolt and then drilled (to maintain correct hole location) but there are some drill shavings/chips that would have been trapped between. On this application, probably doesn't make much difference (but I'm an aircraft mechanic and can't break my habits. Lol)

[@jufabworkscustomtractoracc6102]

Yes we would recommend that as well. Thank you.

[@5critters]

Maybe it's already been said, but a step bit can save some work here. No need to drill a pilot hole with a smaller bit, then change to a larger one. Just make sure not to go too far with it, and make the hole too large!

[@grubbb]

Another great video! You perform well on camera - you might want to try your hand at acting! 😊 When I ordered my JD3120 (10 years ago) I bought the HD bucket and had the dealer weld 2 tow hooks onto the top of the bucket. They have been a great addition. But, I have often wished I had a receiver on the top of the bucket so I could move some of my larger trailers around by driving forward. It's much easier to see where you are moving the trailer by looking forward as opposed to looking over your shoulder! This is exactly what I have thought about every time I back up a trailer using the tractor! I NEED one of those receiver options on the top of my bucket! Now... if only we could solve this Canada/US shipping issue! When did you say you were going to open a Canadian outlet?? 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@flick22601]

John Deere Makes a great 4 in 1 bucket. I ordered my new 2032R with it and it works fantastic. The price really surprised me as it was only a few hundred dollars more than the standard bucket.

Receiver hitch on bucket works great if your moving a lot of trailers around, you just need a pretty low drop hitch to get under most trailers.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

I agree. Drop hitch is necessary.

[@cowboywoodard2569]

Put a boom on it for a higher reach

[@vinsonhelton7141]

The brackets look good. With the 1025r like I have I'm always concerned with adding weight to my front end loader because it will take away from the amount I can lift. These brackets might not weigh that much but occasionally I might need that ability to lift more especially with the small tractor. That's probably what Deere takes into consideration. The ability to remove the brackets would be cool. I don't think that most people have this concern though.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Understood. I don't think they are in the realm of being heavy enough to worry about, but that's just me. The brackets can be removed, but I'm thinking you mean a quick release? I think a strong, rigid connection is needed to maintain the strength when using any of the hooks or receiver. Thanks for watching!

[@vinsonhelton7141]

I think that it would be a good idea to use these brackets on your bucket. And people that have a small tractor should get a quality fork attachment that they could use to lift more when needed. I've never had a problem lifting dirt or gravel with my 1025r. I know people that have more than one bucket. A heavy one and a light one. The brackets would definitely come in handy. And I have forks that are light and lift quite a bit.

[@jufabworkscustomtractoracc6102]

FYI. The center mounted workmaster plate is 15 lbs, the taskmaster (sold as a set, left and right side, are 5 lbs each, 10 lbs total for the set. Thank you!

Hi Courtney: Been tricking out the 2601 you forced me to buy and I wanted a 2" receiver on the bucket. Dealer had already welded on the hooks. I didn't want to spend a wad of $$ so I bought a very tough 2" step bumper hitch from Harbor Freight and drilled 1/2 holes (4) and bolted this hitch on the top of the bucket upside down. Safety chain holes make for great hook ups and it is a bargain at $29.00. Look up one at HF and see what you think. Thanks Rich Jennings

Bummer about the timing, but it'll be bigger savings with that Sweep-All! Which attachment are you getting?

[@leestarling2671]

I will be ordering brackets for my 2038R with the GWT discount; seeing you do the install is really helpful for old noobs like me. I like the receiver at the front. I have a receiver for the 3 point and use it to move a 5,000 lb boat into/out of my pole barn. It’s a tight fit through the overhead door and facing the trailer seems like it would be helpful. I wonder about the height of the receiver, though. Will the top edge of the bucket and the trailer’s hitch line up? The trailer is too heavy for me to lift. If they don’t naturally/easily line up, I’ll just stick with the 3 point. But, the hooks and D-rings? “No brainer”. Good vid. 🎯

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Glad to hear it! Yeah, I should have mentioned that in the video, but he recommends a drop hitch with the receiver. So, something that will come down a few inches which would make it easier to attach to most trailers.

[@adama1294]

Put a little WD40 where your drilling. It lets it drill easier and the bit won't get as hot. Also take the drill out of torque mode and into drill mode. Those side brackets look nice to put on a series 1 and 2 even if you don't need to reinforcement.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Thanks. We're going to give that a shot on the next install coming soon. Have a great day!

[@albrustkern2977]

Howdy, the resistance when pushing on a drill bit is the center web of the bit, no real cutting edge there. Use the finish drill to mark your location then drill with a smaller bit about diameter of the finish bit's center web. Shoot the small drill through first, (much easier to push), then run your finish bit through.

[@PurpleCollarLife]

Awesome idea!

[@GoodWorksTractors]

We definitely agree.

[@gileaton4324]

That receiver is very high off the ground. Gonna take a good sized drop hitch to keep a trailer level.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Definitely want a drop hitch.

[@jufabworkscustomtractoracc6102]

We recommend a 4 to 6" drop hitch for easier hook up of trailers while still being able to see the ball from the operators seat.

[@jerseyjim9092]

It'd probably work ok with a drop hitch but I'm leaning more toward the kind that attach to bottom of bucket.

[@kdegraa]

4 in 1 buckets are almost standard equipment for smaller tractors sold in Australia with loaders. Not many are sold with standard buckets.

[@nfisheremti]

when you drill your holes, use a little cutting fluid (oil, wd-40, spit...), it keeps the drill bit cool, and eases cutting. your bits will last a lot longer that way.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Thanks for the tip! We'll use that info next time.

[@elained9591]

You can purchase cutting oil which imho works much better than WD-40, it lasts a long time and doesn’t take much at all.

[@assassinlexx1993]

We put a short piece of square tubing on the outside of the bucket. Then slip in two long 2" tubes as fork lift and fit a sheet of plywood on top. Now it is ready for a load of garden rubbish.

I imagine the welded version would be a stronger connection in theory, so long as your weld is good, though I tend to think we won't find the breaking point of those bolts. But I would refer you to JU for that question, as he might have more insight as to why he made that version.

I like the concept, but I wish there was a way to make them Quick connect and disconnect. I have welded chain hooks on my JD bucket and I love them when I need them but otherwise hate them because they are always catching stuff like branches and roots and vines when I'm pushing into a brush pile.

Cut a small section of garden hose and slip it in lengthwise to fill the hook

@@jamesb2291 I'll give that a try. Thanks.

Love your videos but my Green is Orange but would sure love an attachment with that 2" receiver. I bought one of those bolt on receivers for my Kubota BX 1880 bucket but it does tend to wiggle around sometimes when moving trailers into tight places.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

The problem is that there's quite a few different Kubota buckets, so it would require many different models to make and stock. That's the nice thing about the JD buckets is that they are all constructed the same. However, we took a look a couple of buckets to start brainstorming a solution. Thanks for watching!

[@kagnewmp12]

@@GoodWorksTractors I'm sure it would be worth the investment cause Kubota owners are very loyal to Orange and would like certain attachments.

Here are our Kubota (Orange) options we currently have. Thanks. you www.jufabworks.com/products/kubota

Harbor Freight has a transfer punch set to locate the holes that you need to drill in the bucket. Simply clamp the Item to bucket, select the appropriate sized center punch, punch, remove item, drill pilot holes, and finish with desired drill bit. This will preserve the paint or finish of the item you're installing.

Appreciate the tip! Always learning new things from commenters like you! Thanks for the suggestion.

Hey Courtney! I noticed a nice grill guard in the background when you were installing the bucket hooks... Im looking for a heavy duty grill guard for my 2032r to keep sticks from damaging the grill/radiator of my tractor when I use my brush grappel.... Do you have any suggeations? Great videos and thank you!

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Got a new video coming soon. Hopefully there will be a solution for you!

[@jimbiddle8646]
