receiver hitch 3pt adapter...for a truck

[varover]

Now hear me out...there are lot's of attachments that add a receiver hitch to your tractor mounted to the 3pt...but I'm looking for something that I can mount on my farm truck's receiver hitch to look like a 3pt so that I can mount a (smallish) 3pt manual dump bucket to my truck. My wife needs something on the truck to do manure handling and the tractor is almost always busy doing something else. She hates backing a trailer and in our scenario I can't say that I blame her. I'd consider making one but my welding skills wouldn't pass muster.

Anyone ever heard of anything like that?

Seems like it'd be real easy to start breaking things with something like that without some additional reinforcement. Three point hitch on a pickup would be fine, there just needs to be more points of contact to the frame than just one at the hitch.

I agree. I don't know if the OP needs the small dump box to raise/lower but modifying a small dumping garden trailer to fit the receiver would be a safer way to go. Having the 3pt sticking way back really starts adding leverage.

Pretty proud at 1150 bucks and like some other implement manufacturer, your credit card payment has to be in full and cleared (they have the funds in their hands before shipping).... and You'll need some sort of hydraulic pump to loft it anyway. Armstrong don't work at least for me. Novel idea however.

There are adapters that have a tilt instead of a lift mechanism. Lower pins are fixed in position, and a winch cable goes to the top link hole on the implement.

Well... Therei s the three point adapter(s) mentioned above, but that is only half the solution...

Love the responses. Thanks team. Yeah the Titan box @WranglerX included above is what made me think of this. I have a 12 cf pull behind dump trailer and I've been pondering ways to "mount" it to the receiver hitch but between it's stupid swivel axle and it's small size I figured Someone surely has a better and hopefully plug-n-play way to do this. Don't need it to raise/lower...I'm thinking vertically fixed with a manual dump lever...this one is a bit janky but might work. But, if I could find a strong enough and appropriately-sized linear actuator I could maybe swap the hydraulic ram on the Titan for an electric ram and keep the remote dump functionality. That would be pretty cool. The receiver adapter @ruffdog listed from palletforks made by Titan looks more sophisticated than I was thinking but remarkably not too $$. But, it does push the weight a bit further out than I was hoping. Long as I keep the weight within reason...like around the max tongue-weight of the max size trailer that my truck can pull.

Lots to ideas to ponder.

Find a Westendorf Auto-Dump attachment. Should be easy to make an adapter to receiver. They are wide but not deep to keep the weight close to the truck. You could probably mount a boat winch to the end. Add a couple pulleys to accomplish the dumping proces.
