That bucket looks fantastic! Well done...
Anyone have an idea on how to strengthen the cutting blade up without adding a tooth bar. A friend has asked me to weld up some stiffener to his bucket that had cracks in the back. His front lip is bowed up from back dragging. He does a lot of prep work for foundations (contractor) with the NH TC40 and 10 years of backdragging has a pretty big bow in the middle. Without cutting out the old blade and welding in a new one, anyone got some way to keep a smooth edge on it and make it stouter.
Shouldn't be to difficult to straighten the front edge, then weld a plate on the bottom or the top of the existing cutting edge, not sure which would be better, but that should stiffen it up considerably.

Great job. How are you planning on using the receiver mount? I'm puzzled by how you would use it to move trailers with the height it is at. Not criticizing, just trying to figure it out. Thanks.

I haven't had a use for it yet, but the mount was cheap and it is bolt on. Just figured someday it might come in handy, if not no big expense to it.Great job.
