These pieces are only a few inches long, so they do not get in the way of the normal operation of the bucket. The lift pole is pinned through the upper bracket so the pole does not jump out of the bottom bracket when rotating, lifting, or moving.

I never have been a fan of "foreign" tractors, but the Kubotas are a tough design to top - they take much abuse and keep on working.
