You can make a frame that replaces your bucket. These can get real fancy, with real forged L forks on adjustable rack.... Best type, keeps the load back on the arms, max lift, easiest to manuver/ see/ use. Great with a quick-tach loader bucket setup, lotta work to switch if you have 4 pins to line up.... If you have a strong bucket you can make clamp ons. They slip over the bucket floor & clamp down onto the floor. The fork root goes back to the rear of the buket underneath, and a arm goes over the top with a big set screw to clamp. If your loader can lift a lot & the bucket floor/ lip is not so strong, the above can bend your bucket. Then there is a similar type, instead of the arm & big set screw, they have a chain that goes up from the fork root over the back of the bucket, down the front, & clamps with a load binder to the top of the fork in front of the loader lip. This places the weight on more points of the loader. Or you can weld a pipe/ bar on the top of your loader bucket, and hang L forks from it. Works well, but the forks kind of 'dangle', you get no down-pressure/ control. Versions of all are available for sale, or get out the welder. :) Also have seen quicktach plate with 3pt frame (or sockets welded into the loader & top of bucket) and people just use 3pt forks, boom pole, etc. on the front of the loader. --->Paul
