Handy Add-Ons To Loader TRACTORS Loaders 25-4-27 "I came up with a couple add-on attachments for the 440 loader on my Deere 1070 tractor that I would like to share with your readers," says Howard A. Smith, Bellville, Ohio.
"The first is a set of 3 grab hooks that attach to the upper edge of the bucket. The hooks weld to a 4 by 18-in. piece of 3/8-in. thick plate steel. A second plate under the edge of the bucket provides extra support when the hook plate is bolted in place. The three hooks vary in size from 3/8 to 5/16 to 1/4-in. dia. I use them for various lifting jobs.
"I also made a temporary ball hitch attachment that fits over the lower lip of the loader, held in place by a chain that fits over one of my loader grab hooks. I use the hitch to move an 18-ft. flatbed trailer. It eliminates the need to look back when backing up. Real handy and goes on and off in seconds with a load binder."
