I built something like that as a welding project. I found it very difficult to control, a lot of bouncing of the bucket and it was hard to hitch up since the loader didn't have very fine control. I was just moving light, empty trailers, so maybe it would work better with a loaded trailer.

I ended up making a hitch for the 3pt. That's much easier to see and control.

Imade one like that, it works ok forward and back, if turning, it wants to slide around. Its hard to see when used on the tractor. Its ok on the skidsteer.

I put a ball on the back frame of my 3 point blade, this works much better.
