Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

That's doing it the right way, mounting the receiver where you roll the bucket forward to get the hitch ball down low under the trailer. I welded my simpler ball mount on the little Yanmar (photo above) with that in mind.

My other elderly Yanmar came with a ball bolted to the top lip of the bucket. Not very practical, you have to wind the trailer jack to the top before it's high enough to set on that ball. Even considering that this bucket isn't as tall as most loaders.

Don't Do This. It isn't practical.

used to move lots of trailer with a set up like that. didn't always work, but i would curl the bucket down the lift the trailer off the ground and roll the bucket back

Yeah. I added this hitch ball because I park the little 4x8 utility trailer in a tight stall where you have to walk alongside the trailer to get to the washer and dryer. Getting the trailer in parallel to the wall and an inch out from it is simpler and more precise when I'm looking forward - and easier on my back than twisting to back the trailer in then zig-zaging it by hand to get it over the last couple of inches.

Are the extra mounting points on your bucket for more angulation, or more power?

Dunno. It's the original loader for that Yanmar (YM186D) and that's the way it came.

Looking at it, it seems it is set up for fastest and maximum-angle bucket rotation, while using the other holes would give maximum curl strength - maybe for digging with a tooth bar?

Maybe a different truck but they repurpose the load and save water.

Looks like two dummies who were not about to give way.
