Has anybody considered or actually followed through mounting a Class III receiver hitch to the top of the bucket ?
I was moving my equipment trailer around the yard the other day and was thinking that it would alot easier if I had a balll mounted to the bucket. But then how often would I really need it. THEN, I got to thinking that if I mounted, (either bolted or welded) a receiver hitch to the top of the bucket, I could use a varity of attachments, differant size balls for moving differant trailers. A pintle hook if necessary, or I could set up one with a hook on it, you could even use one of those receiver mounted electric winches.
So what do you guys think ? Does this sound feasible to you and has anybody already done it ?
