Maybe, as I noted in the post. However, I've heard of people taking a "run and go" when trying to use the bucket for digging (I've done it myself). Not sure a little extra torque, smoothly applied, would be harder on the tractor. Anyway, I have a welder, plasma cutter and plenty of metal laying around. I don't mind reenforcing a few things if needed. It's made a few strange groans when lifting something heavy since the day I got it. So I wouldn't be surprised if I have to do some repairs anyway.
