That would be the ideal approach! Thanks George, I knew there was a good reason that I hadn't welded that sleev hitch bracket out all the way!
I was looking at a trip bucket that the neighbor has, but his has additional frame work that adds 6-8" of length to the bucket, which would take a lot away from the lift capacity. It will lift about 300# now, 200 fairly easy.
Hinges on the bottom and a catch on top would maybe push it out another 1/2". That should barely be noticeable, but a huge improvement!
