Has anyone ever made a bracket to pin cylinder rods and loader arms to, that mimics the loader bucket bracket with hook and pin to hold loader bucket? I want to remove bucket when not using it, but be able to attach it easily. Any help appreciated. Tracy

I made a set for my Dual loader on my 200. They move the bucket about 6 inches forward. If I did it again I think I could get a little closer. I made them to switch between the bucket and bale forks. The top hole is cut open to the top like a quick hitch and I just leave the pins in the bucket and hook it and pick it up then put the bottom pin in to secure it. I welded some stop in so the pins always line up. I made them out of 1/2 inch plate. I have hooked a chain in them to pick things uand even with the bucket off you can push things with them on if you need to.
