That's my only suggestion on what seems like a great idea to me.
You still want to be able to easily dump your load using your bkt curl
function. A lip on the bkt would require MANUAL unloading. :-(
There is no reason that the bkt has to be flat on the ground when you
are loading it.

MAD: Good visual comparison of bkts. I see your dump trailer is in the
photo, too. It looks about a cy, too. Indeed my large bkt is designed
to fill the need of such a dump trailer. Very similar function.
